How to convert the Mercedes Vito into a campervan

Sleeping

Cooking

If you want to equip your Mercedes Vito with a kitchen, you can either opt for a mobile camping kitchen with gas stove or hotplate or install a fixed kitchen unit with hob, sink and storage space.

To create storage space in the Vito, you can use custom-made cabinets and shelves on the walls or modular storage systems such as stackable boxes. You can also use the space under the bed for Euroboxes. Hanging nets or bags offer additional storage space.

Tip: Always work with a Eurobox system. This also allows you to easily determine the height of the bed frame.

Insulating

Special foam panels or insulating foils are suitable for insulating your Mercedes Vito. Insulating the van may not be as much fun, but good insulation ensures a pleasant interior climate, regardless of the outside temperatures.

Installing the electrics and water

There are a few steps to follow to install the power and water supply in your Vito camper van conversion: For the electrics, you can install a separate battery system that is charged via solar cells, for example. This then supplies elements such as lighting, sockets or even a 12-volt cool box. For the water supply, it is best to install a water tank that is connected to a sink via a pump. You can also install a waste water tank or a gray water pipe to collect the dirty water.

This toilet separates urine and solids, minimizes odours and makes emptying easier. It offers a compact and hygienic solution without a separate sanitary room.
