Any 4 persons Sprinter 170" floorplan / layout with fixed seats?

[Lovetheworld]

I have looked around, but it seems kind of hard to find a 4 person (family, 2 kids) floorplan for a 170" wheelbase Mercedes Sprinter.
It is typically 2 persons, or it is in an extended wheelbase, the longest version.
Of course it is always a compromise. So you could have the rear bench with table be a fold-able bed. Or not have a toilet/shower space.
I have seen one 170" Sprinter that had bunk beds in the middle, but that makes it a very small van.

Most likely I am trying to squeeze too much in the limited space, but perhaps somebody got creative and made it work.
We would like not to do too much folding and setting up, just parking the car and being able to cook or sleep immediately.
At the same time I don't want to cut into the roof, and since it is already a passenger version, I will be reusing one of the many rear seats.

My friend Ben has one. But I don't have any picture.

Seems like a decent setup with the beds in the back

Short wheelbase, no toilet/shower, no kitchen, basically two blowup beds. Not what the op is looking for.

Yes I saw that one. My idea is combining a kitchen with a table in between the front seats and rear seats. And then try to cram in all the features behind there.
Possibly using the popout podthings to sleep from left to right, but at 6'3 / 190cm it might not be ideal. It would save a lot of space though. Anyway, the video does show an option to arrange the beds. I was thinking more classical, having the height of our bed at window level.

We will see. Maybe we have to make some sacrifices, can't have it all.
But fortunately, we always take very little stuff with us, so we don't need too much storage space.

That's what I was thinking. It's a different way to have the beds arranged and always have them deployed. Then you could put the kitchen between seats with a pop out table since you have the longer wheelbase. I feel like a standard kitchen design would fit there. Maybe with swivel front seats?

 

[Lovetheworld]

Yes definetly the swivel seats. And then find a way to slide the kitchen all the way outside

hard to find a 4 person (family, 2 kids) floorplan

So, I'd say 4 bunk beds in the rear 6'8"..... center aisle.
Look at how they did it in old sailboats, live outside the box.

 

[Lovetheworld]

Yes it is going to be longitudal beds in the rear and no fixed bathroom. Then I think it i relatively easy.
With these side pods/flares sleeping from left to right, we would have some option to integrate a tiny bed room, but not sure if it is worth it. I care more about a toilet than about a shower, but I am also building it with resale value in mind.
Because the van is maybe a bit too big for our liking. But we have to find out during camping and driving.
