A Mercedes-Sprinter camper van that squeezes full-size living into a nimble footprint, complete with king bed, full kitchen, and off-grid solar power.
The Winnebago Era is a Class B camper van built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis and powered by a diesel engine. It pairs a residential-style interior, including a king bed and fold-out sofa, with off-grid capable systems like solar power and an inverter, making it a practical choice for travelers who want to venture beyond developed campgrounds.
The Era suits couples or small groups who want a self-contained rig with indoor and outdoor shower options, air conditioning, and a full kitchen setup including a refrigerator, stove, oven, and microwave. Its Sprinter foundation gives it a familiar road profile while delivering the amenities of a much larger vehicle.
Rentals of the Winnebago Era appear on Outdoorsy in destinations like Salt Lake City, Utah, where the van has earned a 5-out-of-5 rating from renters. OffGrid Campervans curates top-rated Winnebago Era listings, which you book directly on Outdoorsy.

The Winnebago Era combines a capable diesel Sprinter chassis with a well-appointed interior designed for multi-night off-grid travel. Verified rental listings confirm the following features across Era builds.
Individual Winnebago Era listings vary by build year, owner-added equipment, and location. When browsing on Outdoorsy, check whether the listing confirms solar power and an inverter if off-grid capability is important to your trip, and verify the sleeping configuration since some builds offer both a king bed and a fold-out sofa while others may differ.
Also review renter ratings and the host's trip details for pet policies, mileage allowances, and pickup logistics. The Salt Lake City listing, for example, holds a 5-out-of-5 renter rating, which is a useful benchmark when comparing Era options across regions.
