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.

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.

Vehicle Compatibility & Installation
Sprinter Capsules are compatible with Mercedes Sprinter 144 and 170 wheelbase models.
Installation requires cutting the factory body panel to integrate the expansion unit into the van’s exterior wall structure.
All mounting hardware and seal components are included for structural alignment.
Professional installation is recommended unless you have experience with structural vehicle modifications.

Key Features
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.
