5 SPRINTER ACCESSORIES TO ENHANCE YOUR ROAD TRIP
What are Sprinter accessories?
From side steps and fuel tanks to suspension lifts and ladders, a wide range of accessories are available to suit different adventure needs in your Sprinter van. Sprinter accessories increase the vehicle's capability for outdoor activities such as camping, biking, and surfing. Whether you're a weekend warrior or a full-time traveler, Sprinter accessories make it easy to transform your van into a home on wheels, maximizing your adventure possibilities.
We recently announced our newest line of business: Peace Vans Sprinter Service. Here, our talented technicians will transform your van into the perfect adventure rig with our large variety of accessories and add-ons. We spoke with our lead technician, Jerry, who compiled a list of the top five Sprinter accessories to enhance your road trip.
1. Fuel Tank
Our first Sprinter accessory recommendation is an extended-range fuel tank. Our favorite is this 47-gallon option from Agile Offroad. This allows for almost double the fuel capacity, allowing you to drive further, thus avoiding wasting time at the pump. This fuel tank is handy when driving our Sprinter far distances to places like Burning Man and Southern California.
2. Suspension Lift
A suspension lift is a popular add-on sought after by road trippers and off-road enthusiasts. Washington has thousands of forestry roads with hidden campsites, as outlined in our guide to dispersed camping. However, these magical spots can only be accessed with an off-road vehicle. A suspension lift like this one from Agile Offroad allows for better maneuverability over rough terrain while also providing a more comfortable drive on the road.
Note: This accessory is only available for Mercedes Sprinter 2500 2×4 vans.
3. Ladder & Tire Carrier
These ladder & tire carriers from Owl Vans combine two great adventure products into a single unit. When traveling off-road (or anywhere, really), having a spare tire handy is extremely important. While there is a space under the van for a spare tire, it’s often small and impossible to access in muddy conditions. Own Vans’ design also requires the carrier to sit higher on your van so it doesn’t scrape against anything when driving at an elevation. The lightweight and off-road-tested ladder is also the perfect addition to your van, giving you easy access to your roof area for cleaning solar panels, storing gear, or lounging on your rooftop deck.
4. Side Steps
Side steps are a practical addition to any adventure van, especially your Sprinter. These sturdy steps provide easy access for passengers into the van doors and are designed with high-quality material. The Owl Vans side steps even include a boot cleaner to scrape off dirt, mud, and snow before entering your van. Whether you're loading gear, loading people, or simply adding a touch of flair to your vehicle, Sprinter side steps are a functional add-on for your adventure needs.
5. winch bumper & Light Bar
We understand the importance of safety and visibility on the road, so we highly recommend equipping your Sprinter van with a light bar. This essential accessory enhances visibility during nighttime drives or adverse weather conditions. Agile Offroad offers a Telluride winch bumper with a Ferrata Light Bar that we are happy to install for you here at Peace Vans. When you leave for a camping trip Friday night after work, you’ll have no problem finding your campsite.
Where can I have Sprinter accessories installed?
While many of these accessories allow a “DIY” installation, it can take hours of labor and require tools you may not have. Peace Vans can now be your go-to Sprinter service shop in the Pacific Northwest, and we’re eager to take on your project at a reasonable price with a quick turnaround time.
