Mercedes-Benz Sprinter La Strada Nova EB

Homebuilt motorhomes are undoubtedly cool, but many RV buyers don’t want to take on the work that is involved in building one. For anyone looking to write a check and drive away in a camper, then the La Strada Nova EB is the brand’s new flagship, and it offers all the comforts of home.
 

Based on the Mercedes-Ben Sprinter, the Nova EB’s most noticeable feature from the outside is its fiberglass monocoque with flush-mounted windows. An extending awning provides shade. The company also pays attention to minimize the visible hinges and locks by using push-button latches wherever possible. In total, the vehicle measures 22 feet 11.2 inches (699 centimeters) long, 7 feet 1 inch (215 centimeters) wide, and 9 feet 10 inches (299 centimeters) tall.
 

Inside, Nova EB makes the most of its ample space. The kitchen includes a two-burner stove, sink, and refrigerator. There’s also a wet bathroom with a toilet, shower, and fold-down sink.
 

When it’s time to sleep, there are two separate, single beds. If you want to cuddle with your partner, a panel can slide into the middle to create a queen-size bed. They’re on raised platforms to create room for drawers underneath.
 

At the back, there’s a storage area that’s big enough to carry bicycles or other bulky outdoor items. Owners can access this spot either from two doors on the outside of the van or from a door on the inside.
 

The Nova EB starts at €100,930 ($111,055) in Germany. Options can take that figure far higher. For example, buyers can opt for all-wheel drive, rather than the standard rear-drive setup. La Strada also offers 127 upholstery choices, including full leather and leather/fabric combinations.
