What is a Sprinter van?

One of my friends is using his newly remote job to travel the country in a campervan. He keeps talking about how he eventually wants to upgrade to a Sprinter, but I have no idea what that is. What exactly is a Sprinter van?

Van life has become more and more popular, especially as more jobs go remote. So if your friend has a
Sprinter van
that’s not all that uncommon. A Sprinter van is a full-size van manufactured by either Dodge or Mercedes that functions as a passenger van, cargo van, or campervan.
The Sprinter van debuted in Europe in 1995 as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter and gained nearly universal acclaim, earning the International Van of the Year Award. With continued success and the merger of Mercedes and Chrysler, the Sprinter van came to the U.S. in 2003.
From 2003 until 2009, the van was sold as a Dodge Sprinter. But in 2010, the van was again rebranded as the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter in the U.S. market.
Now that you know what a Sprinter van is, you can have some intelligent conversations with your friend. You can also suggest that your friend use the
