What Are the Best Sprinter Van Accessories? Practical Upgrades for Your Mercedes Sprinter

The best Sprinter van accessories aren’t necessarily the biggest or most expensive upgrades. They’re the ones that solve the little problems you notice every time you drive, camp, work, or travel in your van.

A good accessory should make your Mercedes Sprinter easier to use without creating another project. Think better phone placement, cleaner cable routing, more useful storage, improved airflow, a place for wet gear, and small upgrades that take advantage of space the van already has.

If you’re outfitting a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter—especially a 2019+ VS30—these are some of the most useful accessory categories to consider.

1. A Sprinter-Specific Phone Mount

A solid phone mount should probably be near the top of any Sprinter accessory list.

Your phone may serve as your:

GPS and navigation system
Music and podcast player
Hands-free communication device
Campsite or trail finder
Work device
Charging hub while traveling

The problem is that generic windshield and vent mounts don’t always work particularly well in the Sprinter cockpit. They can block visibility, interfere with vents, or add more clutter to an already busy dashboard.

A better solution is to use one of the spaces Mercedes already built into the dash.

MagSafe Cubby Phone Mount

The Mercedes Sprinter Cubby MagSafe Phone Mount fits into the factory dash cubby on 2019+ Sprinter vans.

Instead of attaching something to the windshield or permanently modifying the dashboard, the mount presses into the existing cubby. It can be configured as a mount alone or used with compatible MagSafe charging hardware.

For drivers using a MagSafe-compatible phone or case, this creates a clean, easy-to-reach location for navigation and charging.

RAM Ball Cubby Mount

If you already use RAM Mount components—or want more flexibility for different devices—the Sprinter Dash Cubby RAM Ball Mount Adapter is another useful option.

It converts the dash cubby into a RAM-style mounting point and can be configured for different ball sizes and single- or dual-ball setups.

That makes it useful beyond phones. Depending on your setup, the same mounting location can support devices such as tablets, GPS units, cameras, or other compatible accessories.

For a more general-purpose option that works across a wider range of Sprinter vans, the phone holder or charger for Mercedes Sprinter vans covers holding and charging in one part.

Best for: daily drivers, work vans, road trips, and anyone who relies heavily on navigation.

2. Better Cable Management

Device mounts solve only half the problem.

Once you add phones, GPS units, cameras, tablets, or other electronics, charging cables have a habit of spreading across the dash.

For 2019+ Sprinters, the windshield-side storage compartment provides a convenient place for power—but routing cables out of that compartment can be awkward.

The Sprinter Van Cable Pass-Through is designed to let cables exit the storage compartment while the hatch remains closed.

Its access ports can be used to route charging cables toward devices mounted around the cockpit rather than pinching wires beneath the lid or leaving the compartment hanging open.

It is a small modification, but this is exactly the kind of Sprinter accessory that can make the dashboard feel significantly more finished.

Best for: phone chargers, GPS units, tablets, dash electronics, and cleaner builds.

3. A Catch-All Tray for Everyday Gear

Storage is one of the recurring challenges in any camper van.

Even when a Sprinter has plenty of cabinets in the back, drivers still need somewhere convenient to put the small things they use constantly:

Keys
Wallet
Sunglasses
AirPods
Flashlight
Pocket knife or multitool
Lip balm
Phone
Loose change

Without dedicated organization, those objects tend to end up in cup holders, door pockets, or somewhere on the floor.

The Mercedes Sprinter Catch-All Tray turns factory cup-holder space into a more useful storage area for everyday carry items.

It is designed for 2019+ VS30 Sprinters and offers driver- and passenger-side configurations along with several appearance options.

For an accessory you’ll interact with virtually every time you use the van, cockpit storage delivers a lot of utility without taking up additional interior space.

Best for: keeping frequently used small items accessible and reducing dashboard clutter.

4. More Useful Under-Seat Storage and MOLLE Mounting

Sprinter owners quickly learn that seemingly insignificant spaces can become valuable storage opportunities.

That includes the openings around the seat bases.

The Sprinter Vent and MOLLE Accessories Panel replaces the factory seat-base cover with a panel that retains access to the under-seat area while creating an attachment point for MOLLE-compatible accessories.

It can also provide ventilation around equipment stored beneath a seat.

This type of upgrade is especially useful in camper conversions because it improves an area of the van that is otherwise easy to overlook.

Rather than adding another large organizer, you’re getting more functionality from a space that’s already there.

Best for: compact builds, MOLLE accessories, electrical-system installations, and maximizing existing storage.

5. Airflow and Window Defrost Accessories

Climate control can make a major difference in how pleasant a Sprinter is to drive.

Cold and wet conditions can create two common annoyances:

warm air isn’t going exactly where you want it, and
side windows can fog when you’d rather have a clear view.

A directional airflow accessory can help redirect existing heat rather than requiring changes to the van’s heating system.

The Sprinter Side Window Defrost and Airflow Deflector fits 2019+ Sprinter console air outlets and allows airflow to be directed upward, sideways, or toward the driver/passenger area.

It’s a tool-free, reversible upgrade, which makes it especially attractive for owners who don’t want to permanently modify their dashboard.

If your build includes a Truma Combi heater, the same idea applies to the living area. An adjustable air vent for the Truma Combi lets you aim heat at a footwell, a bed, or a wet-gear corner instead of sending it straight at the ceiling.

Best for: cold-weather travel, wet climates, winter camping, and improving cabin comfort.

6. A Place to Dry Wet Gear

Wet gear and small camper vans aren’t a great combination.

Whether you’re dealing with:

Ski clothing
Towels
Swimsuits
Wetsuits
Rain jackets
Hiking gear
Mountain biking equipment

bringing moisture inside the van can quickly make the living area uncomfortable.

Using the exterior sliding-door track as a drying location solves that problem without consuming valuable indoor space.

The Sliding Door Drying Rack for Mercedes Sprinter Vans attaches directly to the exterior sliding-door track, giving wet clothing and gear somewhere to hang outside the living space.

For a more compact multi-purpose option, the Sprinter Van Sliding Doorstop and Drying Hook doubles as both a drying point and an adjustable sliding-door stop.

The doorstop can be positioned along the sliding-door track without permanently attaching an adhesive ramp or modifying the van.

That’s particularly useful when camping on uneven ground or when you want the sliding door partially open for ventilation.

Best for: skiers, surfers, mountain bikers, paddlers, campers, and anyone regularly traveling with wet gear.

7. Sprinter Emblems and Exterior Personalization

Not every van accessory has to solve a storage problem.

For many owners, part of building a Sprinter is making a mass-produced commercial van feel like their van.

Small exterior changes can accomplish that without the expense of a complete wrap or extensive body modifications.

Rimrock Labs makes several Mercedes Sprinter emblems and badges, most of them designed around the factory rear-door and hood locations:

Flat black rear door star emblem — the blacked-out classic, 2007+ fitment
Topography map rear door emblem — contour-line fill, an overland favorite
American flag rear door emblem or the camo rear door emblem
Personalized rear door emblem — your name, trail, or business
Custom rear tailgate star emblem for 2007+ vans
Front star emblem upgrade for 2019+ vans

These won’t change how your Sprinter drives, but they can make a surprising difference in how finished a build feels.

Best for: adding personality to camper conversions and distinguishing your van from a stock Sprinter.

What Other Sprinter Accessories Are Worth Buying?

The best accessory list will depend heavily on how you use your van.

Beyond Sprinter-specific interior upgrades, many owners should also consider broader equipment such as:

Window covers

Insulated window covers improve privacy and can reduce heat transfer when camping.

All-weather floor protection

Good floor mats make mud, snow, sand, and water considerably easier to manage—particularly in adventure vans.

Tire inflator and recovery equipment

If your Sprinter spends significant time away from pavement, basic tire and recovery equipment should take priority over cosmetic upgrades.

Portable power and charging equipment

Extra USB charging, 12V power, portable batteries, or a properly designed house electrical system can be valuable depending on your build.

Interior lighting

Task lighting around beds, kitchens, garages, and work areas can make a van substantially easier to use after dark.

Roof and exterior storage

Roof racks, boxes, ladders, bike carriers, and exterior storage can free interior space, although these additions should be chosen carefully because of their impact on weight, height, aerodynamics, and accessibility.

How to Choose the Best Sprinter Van Accessories

Before buying an accessory, ask four questions.

Does it solve a problem I actually have?

The best van builds usually evolve through use.

Drive the van. Camp in it. Work from it. Take a road trip.

You’ll quickly discover whether your real problem is wet towels, nowhere to put your phone, messy charging cables, poor organization, inadequate storage, or something else entirely.

Buy for those problems first.

Does it use existing space efficiently?

Space is one of the most valuable resources in a camper van.

Accessories that use existing cubbies, seat bases, cup holders, vents, and door tracks are especially useful because they can add functionality without occupying additional living space.

Does installation require permanent modification?

Sometimes drilling and permanent installation make sense.

But for smaller accessories, a no-drill or reversible design makes it easier to experiment with your layout and change things later.

Many of the Sprinter accessories from Rimrock Labs are designed around factory mounting locations or existing features of the van rather than requiring major modifications.

Is it designed for my Sprinter generation?

Always check compatibility before ordering.

Mercedes has produced multiple Sprinter generations, and a part designed for a 2019+ VS30 may not fit an earlier NCV3 van.

Even within the same generation, variations in trim and factory equipment can matter.

Measure when necessary and compare your van with the manufacturer’s fitment information before purchasing.

So, What Are the Best Sprinter Van Accessories?

For most owners, the best place to start is with accessories that improve something you interact with every day.

Our shortlist would include:

A dedicated phone mount for safer, cleaner device placement.
Cable management to keep charging cords organized.
A dashboard catch-all tray for everyday items.
Seat-base or MOLLE organization to make unused space useful.
Airflow deflectors for better climate control.
A sliding-door drying rack or hook for wet outdoor gear.
Exterior personalization to make the van your own.

Large upgrades such as bumpers, roof racks, electrical systems, suspension, and cabinetry get a lot of attention, but smaller accessories often have an outsized impact on the way a Sprinter feels in everyday use.

Start with the annoyances you encounter most frequently and fix those first.

If you’re looking for small, Sprinter-specific upgrades designed around the factory van, browse the full collection of Mercedes Sprinter accessories from Rimrock Labs.

Most are designed for quick installation and to take advantage of spaces and features your van already has—which means you can improve the van without turning every upgrade into another weekend project.

Frequently Asked Questions

What accessories should I buy first for a Sprinter van?

Start with accessories you will use on almost every drive. A good phone mount, charging and cable-management solution, cockpit organizer, and all-weather floor protection are useful starting points. Camper owners can then add accessories based on activities such as skiing, cycling, camping, or remote work.

What are the best accessories for a Mercedes Sprinter camper van?

Useful camper accessories include interior organizers, phone and tablet mounts, window covers, airflow accessories, drying racks, auxiliary power, lighting, and storage systems. The right combination depends on how much time you spend camping and what equipment you carry.

What are the best 2019+ Sprinter accessories?

The VS30 Sprinter introduced a different dashboard and interior layout than previous generations, so accessories specifically designed around its cubbies, cup holders, vents, seat bases, and door hardware tend to provide the cleanest fit.

Are no-drill Sprinter accessories worth it?

They can be particularly useful for smaller upgrades. No-drill accessories allow you to add organization or mounting points without permanently altering the dashboard or body of the van. They are also easier to move or remove when your setup changes.

How do I organize the dashboard of a Sprinter van?

Use dedicated locations for different items rather than relying on the factory cup holders for everything. A dash-cubby phone mount, cable pass-through, and catch-all organizer can create defined locations for electronics, charging cables, keys, and everyday items.

Where can I find accessories made specifically for Mercedes Sprinter vans?

The Rimrock Labs Sprinter collection includes phone mounts, organizers, vent accessories, door hardware, drying solutions, emblems, and other accessories designed and tested around Mercedes Sprinter vans.
