ADV Mercedes Sprinter LWB Side Pods
Achieve up to 6ft 7in of cross-van sleeping space to your LWB Mercedes Sprinter.
Sleep sideways. Gain living space. Build a better layout.
- Up to 6ft 7in cross-van sleeping length
- Equal-depth pods for maximum bed width
- Can be installed alongside factory Mercedes middle glass
- No sliding door interference
- Fits Left-Hand Drive and Right-Hand Drive vehicles.
These ADV side pods are designed for builders who want a proper transverse bed without sacrificing interior living space. By extending the van’s body, they give you the extra width needed to sleep sideways and free up more room for storage, seating, or a larger kitchen layout.
Engineered specifically for the LWB Sprinter, both the left-hand and right-hand pods are the same depth (115mm). This maximises sleeping length while still allowing compatibility with the factory Mercedes middle glass, with no need to taper either side to clear the sliding door.
Built using the same high-grade GRP construction and vacuum infusion process as our other ADV pods, they deliver a strong, lightweight, and practical solution for high-end campervan builds.
After internal fit-out, you’ll achieve up to 6ft 7in of usable cross-van bed space.
Fits Left-Hand Drive and Right-Hand Drive vehicles.
- Up to 3.5× better insulation than standard GRP pods
- Heat-resistant resin that won’t distort in extreme temperatures
- Lightweight but structurally strong for long-term durability
Crafted from high-grade GRP using a vacuum resin infusion process, these pods deliver a strong, lightweight structure with a clean finish. The integrated core material improves the strength-to-weight ratio while also acting as an effective heat insulator, helping keep the van comfortable in hot or cold conditions.
Unlike traditional wet-lay GRP pods, ADV side pods use an ultra-high HDT resin that resists distortion at elevated temperatures. Whether you’re parked in the desert sun or winter conditions, they’re built to hold their shape and perform consistently.
All ADV Certified Installers have been thoroughly vetted and approved by our team to ensure the highest standard of workmanship. Only verified partners displaying the official ADV Authentication Badge are authorised to fit our products, giving you total confidence in the quality of your installation.

We'll only be using ADV as our supplier going forward.
5 Star service from Dan and the team at Adventura designs.
We ordered a set of pods for a 2019 Sprinter. The build quality is far superior to other pods we have fitted here at GV Conversions in the past.
They arrived in top quality packaging which protected them on the journey. The fitting was spot on. Thanks again ADV! Keep up the good work 👌

Built To Keep You Comfortable - In Any Climate
Why these pods are different
- 3.5× better insulation than standard pods
- Made from resin that's ultra-resistant to warping
- Lightweight but structurally strong
Analysis comparing the thermal resistance (R-value) of side pod systems shows that ADV Side Pods significantly outperform alternative pods. ‘Alternative pods’ value is based on the same component, manufactured to achieve similar levels of strength using traditional wet lay up GRP production methods and the materials that can be utilised when producing GRP this way.
With over 3.5 times better insulation than Alternative Pods, ADV Side Pods dramatically reduce heat transfer - helping maintain internal van temperatures and improving comfort.
Whether you're battling freezing conditions in the mountains or travelling through scorching desserts, ADV Side Pods deliver unmatched thermal protection.
When it comes to internal van temperature regulation, ADV Side Pods leave the competition behind.
