I have a MWB Mercedes Vario (2wd) panel van and want to get a bit of extra height. Does anyone know if you can fit 9.5r 17.5 tyres to the 2wd? I had them fitted to the 4wd I used to own and they raised it about 15cm from memory (they also look really good). Not sure if they will fit without...

Thanks for the link, they are quite a way from me but I'll check them out. I was really hoping to find someone on here that might be interested that has already converted something similar?

Below are the plans from JS book. Mine would be minus the bathroom on the drivers side and the wardrobe on the passenger side. See also the mockup of the van from the drivers side (excuse the crap photoshop attempt).

Hi Anton I've PM'd you. I'm looking at a lite version of the John Speed van (same layout) if possible so similar layout to yours but opposite with seating on the same side as the JS van. I want to do away with the shower cubicle between the dinette seating and bulkhead and just have a tray with...

I have a MWB Vario which I want to convert for a trip across the US but unfortunately work has taken over and time is getting short. Having had no luck finding a company that will create what I want, is there anyone out there (with a proven track record) in the UK that would want to take on the...

Hi Sitec Were there any pictures of the interior? I'd love to see the layout, it looks like an apartment block with wheels!

Has anyone tried 10r17.5 tyres on a Vario 4x4?

Somewhere there's a big pile of tanks and bits sitting in a UPS facility.. Hopefully I can track something down. Having a tank made to measure would be a costly plan B so hopefully I can track down an option that will just fit off the shelf. Thanks for your ideas.

I think fedex vans in the uk are just merc sprinters unfortunately.

Thanks for the heads up Haf-E. That makes good business sense I suppose, not wasting any parts. I was after a fuel tank from one as the tank on my Vario is only 70litres and UPS Varios have much larger ones that should fit. Anyone with any ideas on a larger tank for a Vario 814DA MWB panel van...

I'm interested in finding a source for used Mercedes Vario parts and with the majority of Vario's on UK roads now being UPS trucks I wondered if anybody knows where they end up upon retirement?

It's a Mercedes original. It was owned from new by a utilities company here in the UK.

I'm trying to find out what the best 4X4 tyre might be to use on the van. It's jacked up quite high being 4X4 so Ideally I want to fit the large All Terrain type tyres with a nice bit of tread to fill the arches a bit more. Was looking at BF Goodridge All Terrain T/A at 235/70 15. Anyone got any...

Yes the Brian Lopez set up seems like a good way to maximize space to me. The Sportsmobile has a bit of a price tag on it though, plus you can't get them over here. There is a big motocross scene here in the UK but I'm going to be using the truck for filming purposes around Europe. The bikes...

Hoping to finish with something like this......

Hey Thanks. Yeh it doesn't make sense that you don't get them in the US you have all the best places to drive them:)

Hello I'm new here. Just thought I'd post some images of my newly acquired Mercedes LWB Sprinter 4X4 which I aim to convert into an expedition type camper with storage in the back for motorcycles and equipment. I've had a Sprinter 2wd before and they are good vans in my opinion. This one...
