Factory Van Walls Limit Interior Space

Both Sprinter and Transit vans have inward wall curvature that restricts sleeping width.
Without expansion systems, builders must:

  • Sleep

    diagonally

  • Build

    narrower beds

  • Limit cabinetry

    layout

  • Lose usable

    interior space

Capsules solve this structurally — not cosmetically.

VANSPEED Sprinter Capsule

Structural Expansion, Not Accessories

Capsules extend the exterior wall outward to create:

  • True horizontal sleeping width
  • Improved mattress configuration
  • Better cabinet alignment
  • Increased usable interior volume

This is a body modification system — not an interior workaround.

True Horizontal Sleeping Space

Van Capsules expand the interior width of your van, allowing taller people to sleep sideways instead of lengthwise.

With up to 79.5 inches of interior sleeping width, many people up to 6’6” can comfortably sleep east-to-west, unlocking better layouts and more usable interior space.
