ATHENA
rain2shine custom-built this 2022 Mercedes Sprinter van for a couple wanting to fulfill their retirement dreams. A classic but fun space, this Mercedes is our most robust van conversion to date. Featuring a wood and marble kitchen backsplash and a geometric shower tile. Athena has a pull-out toilet, hidden in a bench that slides into the shower when needed. With an impressive electric setup utilizing a Victron system, it also includes copper tubing throughout for a heated floor. Athena is temperature regulated by a 12 volt Nomadic A/C and a diesel powered heater. The kitchen features a UV purifying water filtration system and a pop-up outlet for their portable stovetop . For lighting, we used strip lights around the perimeter of the entire van and under the lower cabinet. Additionally, rain2shine installed puck lights above the dining area, bed, corian countertop, a flush-mount geometric light above the sink and a waterproof ceiling light in the shower.
This Sprinter Cargo Van is a 170-inch wheelbase model with a high roof. The overall height is 107.3 inches with a length of 274.3 inches and an overall width (including mirrors) of 92.3 inches.
