Because every unit bolts together and bolts to the floor, you can set it up yourself over a weekend, reconfigure it as your needs change, and even remove it entirely if you want to haul cargo. The all-aluminum, bolt-together framework is trusted by van builders across the country who need a solution that holds up on dirt roads, mountain passes, and everything in between. Built and shipped from St. George, UT, this is an American-made product backed by personal, hands-on customer support - not a call center. Whether you're a first-time van builder or a seasoned overlander upgrading your rig, the TNTvans 71\" Sprinter 144 Bed Kit gives you a professional-grade result without professional-grade complexity.\n\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003chr\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eProduct Specifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eView Product Specs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003ctable border=\"1\"\u003e\n\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBed Length\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e71\" (units along the wall)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBed Height Options\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e19\", 30\", 40\", 51\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (19\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e62 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (30\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e70 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (40\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e78 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eWeight (51\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e86 lbs\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClearance (19\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClearance (30\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e28\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClearance (40\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e38\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClearance (51\" height)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e49\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBase Storage Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e17.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBin Shelf Storage Height\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e10.5\"\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eFrame Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eProprietary 6063 aluminum\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShelf Material\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA-made cabinet-grade Baltic Birch plywood, SEFA 8.0 certified\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~7 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eVan Install Time\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e~2 hours\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCompatible Van\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMercedes Sprinter 144\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eShipping\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eShips flat-packed via UPS; free to contiguous US\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eAssembly Required\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eYes - DIY kit with step-by-step instructions included\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eManufactured\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eSt. George, UT, USA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\u003c\/details\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003ch2\u003eFAQ\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"custom-product-faq\"\u003e\n\u003cdetails\u003e\n\u003csummary\u003eWill this kit fit my Mercedes Sprinter 144 exactly?\u003c\/summary\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"faq-content\"\u003eYes - this kit is specifically designed for the Mercedes Sprinter 144 wheelbase.
