Camperize Your Mercedes Vito: The Ultimate DIY Conversion Kit for Van Life Adventures

Transform your Mercedes Vito into the perfect campervan with our meticulously designed conversion kit. Ideal for weekend getaways or extended road trips, this kit provides a robust and versatile foundation for your mobile home, maximizing space and comfort without compromising on durability. Whether you’re a seasoned vanlifer or just starting to explore the campervan lifestyle, our kit offers an intuitive and efficient solution to camperize your Mercedes Vito, turning it into your dream adventure vehicle.

Our Camper Vito, Viano Furniture Kit is engineered for practicality and longevity. At its heart is a cleverly designed pull-out drawer, custom-built to house a Campingaz camping stove or similar single-burner cookers. Behind this, you’ll discover an independent storage trunk with a top-access lid, perfect for stowing cooking essentials or gear. The kit also features a multi-height table, equally at home inside or outside the van. Inside, it adapts seamlessly to dining or lounge configurations, as demonstrated in our video showcasing the hammock setup.

Adjacent to the table, another trunk with a top lid provides additional storage. On the left side of the kit, two further trunks are incorporated, one with top and front access. The rear trunk is specifically dimensioned to accommodate compressor fridges like the Fr34 or Fr40, while the front-access trunk is ideally sized for a 12V outdoor shower system. From our experience, we strongly recommend the double-access configuration for the left-side trunk. This design significantly enhances space utilization, allowing for easy storage of water canisters for your outdoor shower or even a portable toilet (Potti). However, for Potti storage, we suggest utilizing the table cavity. When the furniture module is unfolded, the Potti can be conveniently relocated to the front of the vehicle during mealtimes, keeping the left-side trunk free for other essential equipment like water storage for your outdoor shower or various camping gear.

Integrated side modules cleverly cover the wheel arches. In the Vito version, these extensions maximize bed width, creating a sleeping platform that stretches virtually wall-to-wall. These modules also feature top-opening lids, offering additional storage. We recommend using this space for bedding on one side and frequently used or laundry-bound clothing on the other, keeping your living space organized.

While a double-drawer option is available at the same price, we advise against it. Although visually appealing in photographs, a double-drawer setup reduces usable space considerably. The inherent mechanics of full-extension drawers, especially with the leverage involved, are a factor to consider for long-term durability. Despite utilizing reinforced guides capable of supporting 30 to 40 kg, the single drawer configuration offers superior practicality and space efficiency for your Mercedes Vito camper conversion.

We prioritize both aesthetics and robustness in our furniture design. The harmonious color palette is chosen to complement your vehicle’s interior. Our new Pearl White series with Dark Grey mattress pack, a popular customer request, reflects this commitment. However, our core focus remains on the strength and solidity of the furniture. We prioritize durability above all else, aiming for a Camper Furniture Kit that, with proper care, outlasts the vehicle itself.

The dimensions of the Camper Vito, Viano Furniture Kit are slightly adaptable between Vito and Viano versions. Our page features detailed videos illustrating these nuances for clarity.

Generally, the kit width is 150 cm (approximately 59 inches) without the mattress pack. In the Vito version with the mattress pack, the width extends to 155 cm (approximately 61 inches). The depth is 120 cm (approximately 47 inches), and the bed length in both models extends to a comfortable 185/190 cm (approximately 73/75 inches). The custom-made mattress pack is segmented to optimize configurations for dining, lounging, or sleeping modes within your camperized Mercedes Vito.
