Mercedes-Benz will debut a new camper van based on the latest-gen V-Class At the Caravan Salon in Düsseldorf, Germany. Called the Marco Polo after the famous Italian merchant traveler, the camper van is a rival for the VW California.
Alright, developed in cooperation with camper van specialist and Mercedes-Benz partner Westphalia, the Marco Polo is fitted with a series of practical features - from the stowage facilities and seating/sleeping arrangements to the camping equipment for outdoors.
According to Mercedes-Benz, the interior features high-quality materials, a warm color scheme and a modern furniture design, with all these giving the impression of “unexpectedly generous space.
The carmaker adds that the Marco Polo is equally suitable for long journeys and day-to-day and urban motoring thanks to its "powerful and efficient engines, comfortable suspension, compact exterior dimensions and good maneuverability".
Furthermore, the kitchenette is equipped with two gas burners, a sink and a compressor refrigerator with a capacity of 40 liters and a cooling output of up to minus 20 degrees Celsius. The fresh water tank has a capacity of 38 liters, the waste water tank 40 liters of course.
The two-seater bench in the rear can be repositioned on rails, while the backrest, which is divided into two, can be individually electrically adjusted on each side. At the touch of a button, it can be converted into a single bed within seconds or into a double bed measuring 2.03 m by 1.13 m. Under the pop-up roof there is another bed measuring 2.05 m by 1.13 m.
