4 Cool Sprinter Van Bunk Beds And Where To Buy Them

Bunk beds are one of the most efficient sleeping solution for Sprinter vans. If you’re taking your kids on the road with you, opting for Sprinter van bunk beds allows you to save precious space for other essential gear, such as a kitchenette or dinette.

Plus, there’s always room for some storage underneath campervan bunk beds.

There are various types of campervan bunk beds – from minimalistic fold-down platforms to the classic single sleepers.

Depending on their budget, some van lifers build their own campervan bunk beds, while others buy a kit. A few opt for a full conversion featuring bunk beds in the floor plan.

In this article, we look at four Sprinter van bunk beds that will give you the inspiration you need to design your own Van interior.

Then, we’ll show you where you can buy Sprinter van bunk beds on any budget!

Sara & Alex James’ ‘Hidden’ Double Sprinter Van Bunk Beds

Sara and Alex James have lived the van life for two years, touring much of the US.

Now, with a baby on the way, they have settled down and convert vans for a living. Check out their impressive Sprinter van conversion, which they built for a family of four.

To create Sprinter van bunk beds to sleep four, Sara and Alex created a platform double bed and a floating double bunk bed.

They are super versatile.

During the day, they are out of the way, leaving room for a decent size dinette. At night, the table drops down and, together with the couches, creates a double bed.

The second campervan bunk bed lowers from the roof, down to the middle of the van. So during the day, the top bunk only steals a few inches of headroom at the dinette. It’s ingenious.

The space saved by the Sprinter van bunk beds leaves room for a dinette, a wet bath, a decent kitchen, and a generous wardrobe.

It’s hard to believe Sara and Alex managed to fit all of this into a Sprinter.

Everest’s Triple Campervan Bunk Beds

Everest is a Ford Transit campervan converted by its owners for a family of five.

So, yes: this van sleeps up to five adults. It’s the perfect RV to take on a big adventure with friends.

At the front of the vehicle, near the driver and passenger seats, there are two double seats with integrated seatbelts, facing each other.

During the day, these are used, together with a dining table, as a dinette. At night, they all fold down to create a double bed.

Towards the rear of the vehicle, there are three, 6ft-long camper van bunk beds. While they don’t offer much headroom, they can all sleep an adult. There are reading lights and a storage pouch inside each campervan bunk bed. And to get some privacy, there’s some curtains on the outer side.

The interior looks modern and practical, perfect for a big family.

The use of space on this build is truly impressive. On top of featuring beds for five people, there’s a toilet and kitchen.

Ramble And Revive’s Classic Campervan Bunk Beds

Kyla and Mike bought a converted Sprinter van to hit the road with their two boys. The interior looks super bright, thanks to the white surfaces. But it also has a rustic feel, with the gorgeous wooden surfaces.

The van features a dinette that turns into a double bed, where the parents sleep, and two Sprinter van bunk beds.

The campervan bunk beds are located on the left hand side, in the middle of the vehicle, right in front of the kitchen.

These Sprinter van bunk beds are fixed in place and look super comfy, with a single high foam mattress on each. They are 5ft long and have storage underneath.

There is a wooden ladder leading up to the top bunk. Simple and lovely.

Here’s the full tour of the van:

Our Van Quest’s Solo Top Bunk Bed

Jake, Gianna and Luna have lived on a converted Sprinter van for years.

They decided to pair a platform bed for the adults with a single elevated Sprinter van bunk bed. Next to the campervan bunk bed, there’s a shelf that serves as a nightstand to Luna.

Thanks to this clever “floating” solution for Luna’s Sprinter van bunk bed, the floor plan resembles that of most vans with a platform bed only. There’s space for a wet bath, a decent size kitchen, and a passenger seat for Luna.

The family has now moved on to a skoolie, due to the arrival of little Capri – their second child.

Where Can You Buy Sprinter Van Bunk Beds?

You may not have the skills or confidence to build you own Sprinter van bunk beds. After all, they need to be solid and safe, or you’ll fall on the floor in the middle of the night.

The good news is that you can buy pre-made Sprinter van bunk beds, so you can focus on building the rest of the gear for your DIY van conversion.

Alternatively, you can hire a company to carry out the full conversion for you.

RB Components’ Individual Panels For Bunk Beds

RB Components make single bed frames that you can install in your Sprinter above each other, to create bunk beds.

They slide, so you can extend them, based on the height of the person sleeping in them. This is a great solution if you occasionally take kids and adult friends with you.

These Sprinter van bunk beds are made of aluminium and stainless steel, topped by a board in either bamboo or hex. The frame features holes throughout the panel, in order to allow the mattress to give a little. This means your mattress will feel softer and you’ll get a better night sleep.

Find out more on the RB Components’ website.

Adventure Wagon’s MONK Bunk

The MONK Bunk, by Adventure Wagon, is a lightweight and thin, but solid, solo Sprinter van bunk bed.

It’s designed to take up as little space as possible during the day, so you can have a full on bike-hauling van for your adventures.

At night, it flips down, ready for a restful sleep.

The MONK Bunk is made of aluminium and features a 5” shelf. The plywood panels are upholstered with marine grade fabric, and you can even choose the colour.

The best feature? You can store your bedding inside it, so when you flip it down, the bed is already made. That’s priceless after a full day of mountain biking or surfing.

You can install this Sprinter van bunk bed DIY, or have a Certified Adventure Wagon Installer do it.

When ordering it, you’ll also need to purchase the installation kit, unless you already have the Adventure Wagon’s RUV Interior Kit.

The platform and mechanism are made in metal. Each bunk has a thin single-foam mattress. They look minimalistic but comfortable.
