Airstream has unveiled the 2020 Atlas RV camper built on the popular Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 3500 chassis.

The company partnered with the automaker for the camper RV series to give the Atlas a “Mercedes-Benz performance and Airstream quality,” according to its website.

Airstream’s choice of a Sprinter base is unsurprising: the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a popular campervan chassis pick for both large companies like Airstream, and smaller independent van conversion companies.

In total, the 2020 Atlas has similar amenities as other luxury camper RV conversions – such as a kitchen, bathroom, and sleeping area – but with the Airstream and Mercedes touch of luxury. The camper RV is 24-feet long and sleeps two. However, the van can seat up to four people: two at the driver and passenger seats, and two on the couch, which comes with seatbelts.

---

Like a pop top camper, the sides of Atlas' body can extend out further for a more spacious interior. This extra space allows passengers to pull out the Murphy bed in place of the couch.

---

The 73-inch by 73-inch mattress is made of springs that allow for a "supportive" and "ergonomic" sleep, according to Airstream.

Two of the couch's seats can recline, allowing passengers to prop up with a footrest.

---

There are also two small height-adjustable tables that can be placed in front of the couch and the passenger seat, while its swiveled back, to serve as a dining and workspace.

---

For a relaxing night in the RV, Airstream built reading lights and book shelves by the couch-bedside.

---

Further entertainment options includes a 40-inch Samsung LED Smart TV with a sound bar can extend out of its storage unit with the push of a button.

---

Customers can pick from several interior color schemes, including a "Tommy Bahama" edition of the Atlas that offers a bar and custom tropical-esque upholstery and decor.

---

Like many non-camper homes, the Atlas has a bathroom with a medicine cabinet vanity, faucet, shower, and porcelain toilet. The latter is a deviation from the typical pull-up or portable toilets found in many camper vans.

---

Bathroom storage comes in the form of a closet with hangers and drawers, storage space under the sink, and a cabinet behind the vanity.

---

The kitchen is equipped with dual burner gas stove tops, a sink, a convection microwave, a 9.1 cubic feet refrigerator-freezer, a pantry, and a kitchen fan.

---

The water for the sinks and shower — heated through a tankless water heater — is sourced from the 23-gallon fresh water tank. There are also 31-gallon grey and 23-gallon black water tanks onboard Atlas.

---

Atlas can also be used off-grid with its 3.2-kilowatt diesel generator, converter inverter, and two 12-volt batteries.

---

There’s also a 300-watt solar system onboard for an environmentally friendly supply of energy.

---

An air conditioning and heat pump unit aboard Atlas controls the temperature inside the camper cabin. But for times when passengers want some fresh air instead, the camper also has a sunroof that comes with shades and a screen.

---

There's also an electronically-powered awning that allows passengers to enjoy a sunny afternoon outside in the shade.

---

Atlas' exterior also has storage compartments, motion-activated lights, an outdoor shower connection ...

---

... and cabin door steps that retract when the door closes.

---

In total, Atlas is 10 feet, six inches tall, and 8 feet, three inches wide including the air conditioning unit. However, the camper's interior standing height is only 6 feet, 6 inches, with an interior width of 7 feet, 4.5 inches.

---

The tiny home is powered by a Mercedes-Benz 3.0-liter V6 diesel engine, allowing the vehicle to achieve 188 horsepower and 325 foot-pounds of torque. In total, Atlas has an estimated 16 to 18 highway miles-per-gallon rating.

---

The van's dashboard has charging ports, cup holders, and a storage compartment. The driver and passenger's seats can also swivel to face the inside of the van.

---

The Sprinter has also been modified to include Airstream's "Air Ride Suspension" that allows the van to optimize its drive while on the road.

The 2020 Airstream Atlas starts at $238,071.
