Designed specifically for the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the Vita and Porto features the largest galley, the largest bed, and even the largest holding tanks in the class.

And with standard features like the strong, lightweight and quiet SuperShell Sleeper Deck, 200 watt solar energy system, connectivity roof port wiring access for satellite, WiFi boosters or cellular boosters, panoramic galley window and exclusive customizable storage cabinets, it’s clear the Vita and Porto will become the market leader.
