Mercedes-Benz has unveiled its first pop-up camper van available in the US market: the Weekender.
The Mercedes-Benz brand has already been a popular choice for people partaking in the #VanLife lifestyle: its Sprinter, which Amazon also uses for deliveries, is a favorite to use as the base of a tiny home on wheels.
However, the automaker's new Weekender is being built on the body of the Mercedes-Benz Metris.
The camper van - which can sleep four people and seat five - comes with an added pop-up roof and standard Metris features, including a rearview camera.
The Weekender vans will be constructed by Driverge Vehicle Innovations, a commercial van manufacturer that modifies vans such as the Ford Transit and the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and Peace Vans, which Mercedes-Benz claims is one of the US' largest camper van restorations and upgrades companies. Driverge - located in South Carolina - is part of Mercedes-Benz's Mastersolutions program which "upfits" Metris and Sprinter vans to fit customers' needs.
