Mercedes Sprinter Rear Door Storage Boxes & Exterior Storage

Turn unused rear-door space into secure, accessible cargo capacity with Tec Vanlife Mercedes-Benz Sprinter rear door storage boxes and exterior storage systems.

Designed for camper vans, adventure vans and overland builds, our Sprinter exterior storage solutions help move bulky, dirty and frequently used equipment outside your living space while keeping it protected and easy to reach.

Choose from durable aluminum storage boxes, lightweight carbon fiber hybrid storage boxes, narrow Split Door boxes and complete rear-door gear rack systems.

Whether you need space for camping gear, recovery equipment, tools, skis, snowboards or everyday van-life equipment, you can build a Sprinter rear-door storage system around what you actually carry.

Why Add Rear Door Storage to a Mercedes Sprinter?

Interior space is one of the most valuable resources in a camper van. Your Sprinter's rear doors provide an opportunity to add exterior storage without sacrificing cabinetry, garage space or your living area.

A rear-door storage system is particularly useful for equipment that is bulky, wet, dirty or frequently accessed, including:

• Recovery equipment

• Camping gear

• Tools

• Hiking equipment

• Electrical cables and adapters

• Water hoses

• Leveling equipment

• Outdoor cooking equipment

• Ski and snowboard gear

• Golf equipment

• Dirty or wet equipment

• General overland gear

The result is more usable space inside your Sprinter and easier access to equipment when you arrive at camp.

Sprinter Rear Door Storage Box Options

Tec Vanlife offers several storage box sizes and materials so you can choose the right combination of capacity, shape and weight for your Sprinter build.

Grande Aluminum Storage Box

The Grande Aluminum Camper Van Storage Box is our compact general-purpose rear-door storage box.

Aluminum vs. Carbon Fiber Sprinter Storage Boxes

Choosing between aluminum and carbon fiber usually comes down to budget versus weight.

Choose Aluminum If:

• You want durable exterior storage at a lower price

• Maximum weight reduction isn't your primary concern

• You want traditional rugged aluminum construction

• Your Sprinter has sufficient available payload

Choose Carbon Fiber If:

• Reducing rear-door weight is important

• You're building a weight-conscious camper van

• You carry substantial equipment already

• You want to preserve as much vehicle payload as possible

• You want premium lightweight construction

The difference can be substantial.

The Grande Carbon weighs approximately 20.9 lb compared with 37 lb for the aluminum Grande.

The Venti Carbon weighs approximately 24.7 lb compared with 52 lb for the aluminum Venti.

When you're adding a rack, storage box and cargo to a Sprinter rear door, reducing the empty weight of the storage box can make a meaningful difference.

Sprinter No-Drill Rear Door Gear Rack

A rear-door storage box needs a secure mounting platform.

The Tec Vanlife Sprinter Rear Door Aluminum Gear Rack provides a modular mounting solution for compatible Mercedes-Benz Sprinter applications.

Rather than treating the storage box as a standalone accessory, the gear rack allows you to build a complete exterior cargo system around the equipment you carry.

You can also choose a complete Sprinter Rear Door Gear Rack + Aluminum Storage Box System for an integrated storage setup.

Designed Around Real Camper Van Travel

Rear-door storage isn't simply about adding another box.

A properly planned Sprinter exterior storage system should consider:

• Vehicle payload

• Rear-door load

• Rack weight

• Storage box weight

• Cargo weight

• Door clearance

• Rear-door hinge configuration

• Access to the interior

• Equipment accessibility

Always consider the complete installed weight of your system.

That means calculating:

Rack + storage box + accessories + cargo

rather than looking only at the empty weight of the storage box.

Compatibility can vary depending on:

• Sprinter model year

• Rear-door hinge configuration

Which storage box is best for general camping gear?

Most exterior rear-door storage configurations require an appropriate rack or carrier to safely mount the storage box. Check the individual storage box and rack compatibility before installation.

Can I mount a storage box directly to the Sprinter door?

We recommend using the appropriate compatible mounting system rather than attaching a loaded cargo box directly to an unsupported door panel.

Choose Grande if you want a compact general-purpose box. Choose Venti when additional vertical storage capacity is more important.

How much weight does a Sprinter rear door storage system add?

This depends on the rack, box and equipment being carried. Calculate the complete installed system weight by adding the rack, empty storage box, accessories and cargo.
