This is for sale along side the Sprinter. There will be both cargo and passenger versions available. Go to the MB website for build info. No diesel or 4WD version, but hey its a start. I just saw that there is a Canadian company that is tooling up for doing a Reimo conversion on these in a very hi quality camper conversion with pop up roof and everything. Wow, dream come true. Still developing, but on the way. http://reimoamericas.com/updates-posts.html | ||

This is the same company that did the RI work on my 1995 G320 http://www.autostadtwest.com/ http://www.camperconcepts.com/ (002.jpg) (02.jpg) (10.jpg) Attachments ---------------- 002.jpg (154KB - 30 downloads) 02.jpg (781KB - 33 downloads) 10.jpg (737KB - 29 downloads) | ||

Still no 4x4, but I have seen a VW T5 Terra camper that was very very sweet. http://www.terracamper.us/ https://sportsmobile.com/mercedes-metris/ | ||

Currently there is a 4wd conversion available from Iglhaut including 3 locking diffs. This requires that your Metris be shipped to Germany and back for the conversion. http://iglhaut-allrad.de/en/ | ||
