This is a very well equipped 2016 Metris cargo van converted into a fully insulated camper with a Webasto heater and a galley. It has just about every safety and comfort option that MB offered for the cargo van in 2016. I'm the second owner and did the camper conversion. The title is clean with no accidents.
