Sherpa Cargo Carrier – Sprinter VS30 (2019-Present) & Revel (2020+)

The New Sherpa Cargo System for 2019-present Sprinter and Revel (2020+) The most versatile and innovative way to carry all your critical gear. Sherpa is totally configurable allowing you to mount almost anything: Bikes, generators, cargo boxes, Rotopax, fuel cans, skis, and much much more. Better yet, items can be quickly switched, based on trip or season. Sherpa is CNC machined from a solid plate of rugged yet lightweight aluminum. With over 150 mounting holes and 40 slots, means you can always find just the right mount.

The Sherpa is great for mounting bikes vertically for easy loading and unloading. Please keep in mind, that the Sherpa is not intended to mount E-Bikes bike vertically. Bikes will have some movement when traveling, this is normal. Always use the verticle kit and safety straps when mounting bikes vertically. We work closely with 1up and both our and their engineers have approved the vertical mounting of their trays. 

The Sherpa is designed to be configurable and changed between trips. Keep in mind that mounting items to the Sherpa can cause normal wear and tear to the finish.

Monster Box (XL Cargo Box)

Hands down the biggest box you can buy for your adventures. A box so big we had to call it the Monster. Owl’s medium and large Expedition boxes have become the industry standard for high-end builds. We still wanted more, more storage, more features, more…

Size – The biggest box on the market. Owl’s new Monster box measures 40″x24″x16″ and holds 8.8. cubic feet of gear (interior dims 39.5″x23.5″x12.5″).

Dual-Fold Door – We not only wanted to maximize storage but also provide some new features currently not available in the market. The bottom door folds down providing a stable working area for setting up a grill, food prep or many other tasks. The top door folds up and allows for use of an LED light. Now when you’re working at night you can see your work area with just a tap. 

Gear Plates – On the front of the Monster box is Owl’s signature hold and slot design allowing you to mount your must-have small trail accessories. (shovel shown is not included with box)

Weight – All aluminum construction means this giant box is still a lightweight (65lbs)

Mounting – While the Monster box can mount to almost anything, it is pre-drilled for the Owl B2 (the recommended mounting structure)

Accessories – To make the bottom door even more work-friendly we CNC’ed a cutting board insert (available soon, sold separately).

Adjustable Shelf – The shelving in the Monster box is adjustable up and down, you can even add an additional shelf if desired. This means you can pack in four Owl Gear Totes and still have some room above! The Monster box comes standard with one adjustable shelf but more can be purchased separately. 

*Note – If you wish to mount bikes above the Monster box (they will be very high) it can be done with the addition of a Mini-Sherpa. Additional holes will need to be drilled in the Mini Sherpa. 

Mini-Monster Box

We were blown away by how much people loved our Monster box for its storage capacity, clamshell opening and work table. People loved it so much that they wanted us to make it in a more compact “Large” size in addition to the XL Monster. Enter the Mini-Monster. The only thing mini about this box is its name. The Mini-Monster Box is the same size as our standard Large Expedition box (the most popular van box in the world). 

The Mini-Monster shares all the details that made the Monster box so popular. It is constructed entirely of aluminum, pre-drilled for the B2, and trail-tested to last a lifetime. 

Size – 30″-Tall/24″-Wide/16″-Deep

Dual-Fold Door – We not only wanted to maximize storage but the MM also has our pioneering dual-fold doors. The bottom door folds down providing a stable working area for setting up a grill, food prep or many other tasks. The top door folds up and allows for use of an LED light. Now when you’re working at night you can see your work area with just a tap. Does not work with top-mounted “Gear Cage.” A new Gear Cage is in development.

Gear Plates – On the front of the Mini-Monster box is Owl’s signature hold and slot design allowing you to mount your must-have small trail accessories.

Weight – All aluminum construction means this box is still lightweight, less than 60lbs

Mounting – While the Mini-Monster box can mount to almost anything, it is pre-drilled for the Owl B2 (the recommended mounting structure)

Adjustable Shelf – The Mni-Monster box comes standard with an adjustable shelf that can be moved up and down. Additional shelves can be purchased separately.

Alpine Box (Ski, Snowboards, & Golf)

Owl pioneered the first storage box for skiing four years ago. Since then, they have become a staple of almost every resort parking lot. These boxes keep your gear safe, salt-free, and, most importantly, outside the van.  

What does Owl do when they have the most popular ski box in the world? We completely redesigned it, that’s what! Introducing the ALL NEW Alpine Box, a massive box that can swallow skis, snowboards, golf bags, and more. 

Snow Shelf – The Alpine Box has two shelf options: The Snow Shelf, which can hold skis and snowboards, and the Flat Shelf, which can be used for storing gear. Depending on what you’re storing you can add multiple shelves. A Snow Shelf in the middle and a Flat Shelf above.

We sell out of our snow storage every year, so don’t be left out in the cold

Expedition Tire Carrier – Sprinter VS30 (2019+)

This is the gold standard of Sprinter Tire Carrier. Owl invented hinge mounted tire carriers back in 2018. Since then, we have refined the carrier to be lighter, stronger and even easier to install. This carrier is bulletproof. With literally millions of customer miles on them, they are the most tested carrier in the world. The all-new carrier features an all tig welded aluminum frame that allows mounting of a 33″ tire or a box (box mounting tabs sold separately). If you’re looking for a cheap RV overseas knockoff, you came to the wrong place! 🙂

Sprinter Side Steps (Explorer)

Owl’s Side Steps have quickly become one of the most popular upgrades on the market. Mandrel bent aluminum, laser cut treat plates and Owl industry-leading quality have made these steps the choice of top OEM manufacturers like Storyteller and Airstream. 

Design: The shape of our side steps was carefully considered to offer the optimal blend of function and protection. We went big with the front step as it is the most used. Then the side steps taper back toward the rear of the van. This tapered design allows the van to more easily navigate tight terrain and not get hung up on rocks, logs etc. Additionally, we extended the driver’s side tube all the way down the van to help protect the rocker of the van.

Size Matters: Vans are big vehicles, and if you’re anything like us, you’re always trying to squeeze your van down tight trails. Clearance is why we wanted a side step that was high and tight, as they say. We purposely build these side steps to be narrower than most on the market. You’re much less likely to get your sidesteps hung up on a rock or other obstacle….but we also added an oversized treadplate as an option. See below.

Tread Plate – (New bigger Tread Plate included): Ease of getting in an out of your van is paramount. That’s why we designed an optional oversized tread plate. Our tread plate adds an upturned lip and greater width right where you exit the van. This upturned lip catches and holds your shoe while entering and exiting. While this add confidence all the time, it is especially important in wet conditions. As a bonus, we even designed in a ridged boot cleaner to scrape off dirt, mud, and snow before entering the van. The folks here with test units have fallen in love with this design.

Mountability: Because vans are small and quality gear is expensive, we design multiple functions into almost every part we build. The side steps are laser cut with our signature “Sherpa” hole pattern to mount additional gear. Rotopax, Shovels, jacks, you get to choose your own adventure. 

Aesthetics: Side steps can change the look of a van in both a good and a bad way. We hope you love our new Sprinter Side Steps’ clean industrial lines and modular look! We pushed our design teams to include all the above functional improvements while making a beautiful step. We understand this is all subjective, but the team accomplished their goal if the response so far is any indication.

Pet Friendly: This is one of those items that many people don’t think of before purchasing side steps. Since so many of us travel with our beloved furry friends, we thought it only appropriate to keep them top of mind as we designed this product. Pets don’t wear shoes, so the top of the step must be comfortable for the pet’s paws. Our steps are flat and without any sharp points that pets would step on, making it comfortable for them to use. The most important aspect of pets using side steps is the gap between the step and the van. Pets can be very excited when returning from a big hike or leaving on that next big adventure. Unfortunately, the pet’s legs can slide into the gap between the step and the van while entering. We have seen countless dogs break their legs in this scenario. It is hard to talk about but important to think about when purchasing steps.

Explorer Ladder + Tire Carrier (2019+ Sprinter VS30)

Introducing the NEW Explorer Ladder + Tire Carrier. This new Ladder + Tire Carrier combines the incredibly popular mountable steps from our Explorer Side Ladder with our iconic Ladder + Tire Carrier. This new design expands the function of the Ladder + Tire carrier to allow for mounting additional accessories on the rungs of the ladder. Additionally, this new step design expands the foot pad creating an even more stable platform to climb. Lastly, these new steps just look fantastic….but then again we are biased 😉

The Owl Ladder + Tire Carrier was pioneered by Owl and has now become iconic in the Adventure Van industry. Years of development and testing have led to one of the most functional and bulletproof products on the market. The Owl Ladder + Tire Carrier for Sprinter is the seamless integration of two great products into a single unit. Get all the functionality of a ladder to access your roof as well as mount a full-sized tire. 

Trail Tested – Our team is obsessed with quality and we abuse our gear on the toughest trails in the world. This means that when you order an Owl Ladder you are getting thousands of miles of torture testing before that gear ever reaches you. When you’re off the beaten path, miles from rescue, you can rely on your Owl gear to get you home.

Why Mount A Tire On The Rear? – This is a common question and the answer is simple. If you’re going to be taking your van off-road, then you’re going to need a full-sized spare. A full-sized spare is the first and most important piece of gear you can take off-road. The OEM space under the van is undersized for a proper spare. Even if you can stuff your tire under, it can often be hard or impossible to get out in muddy or off-road conditions. Remember, you should always prepare your van up for when things go wrong not when they go right. 

Quality – Owl uses a more expensive but bendable aluminum alloy which allows us to make the product stronger and lighter. Other companies use cuts and welds instead of mandrel bends. Bends are always stronger than cuts and welds. This is why our team works to take out as many cuts and welds as possible even if it means the product is harder to build.

Trust – When you buy Owl you are getting the backing of the originators and still the industry leader in rear door carriers. This means years of rock-solid performance and literally millions of customer miles ensure you can count on your Owl Ladder + Tire Carrier. 

Weight – We manufacture the Ladder + Tire Carrier to be incredibly lightweight while still incredibly rugged. Our Master welders take computer bent and cut aluminum tubing and TIG weld each joint to ensure perfect fit and performance. We encourage you to look at the welds and fit of Owl gear, even to the untrained eye, the attention to detail is instantly apparent.

Explorer Sprinter Side Ladder

Sprinter Side ladders are one of the most identifiable items that make a van look like an Adventure Van. While popular, side ladders also have some major drawbacks when it comes to offroading or overlanding. That’s why Owl waited until we had a completely new design that addressed those past problems and brought the side ladder into a new form

Problem – Until Owl, the biggest problem with side ladders was the potential of heavy damage to your van. When current side ladders get hung up on a stump or rock, they not only damage the ladder, but they typically do heavy amounts of damage to the bottom side and rockers of the van as well. Repairs can run into the thousands and involve cutting and resending large sections of your van…not a fun way to end a trail run… But we have a fix!

What the team did is purposely engineer a weak point in the ladder when a force is applied laterally. When you climb the ladder the force is vertical in the downward direction. Should a heavy lateral load be applied to the ladder, such as getting hung up on a rock, the bottom aluminum bolts will sheer off. This allows the bottom of the ladder to break free from the van and limit any additional damage to the van. Mountain bikes have used this type of system for years on derailleur hangers. Derailleurs are the very expensive gear-changing systems that hang off the side of bikes. They are attached with a similar thin tab of aluminum. This way, if the bike is in an accident the small aluminum tab breaks and keeps the derailleur in one piece. Most times, you simply replace the cheap aluminum tab and you’re good to go. 

Shape – When designing this new side ladder, we started by laser scanning the side of the Sprinter so we could contour our tubing to perfectly follow the side of the van. This allowed our tubing to be much tighter to the van than competitive ladders. The result is a ladder that keeps your van as narrow as possible and drastically lowers the risk of catching the ladder on an obstacle.

Modularity – Vans are wonderful for adventure because you can take them where you can’t take larger RVs. That also means vans are tight on space. That is why we build in modularity to almost every product we sell. This means a side ladder is more than a side ladder. It can become a place for additional fuel or water, maybe surfboards or traction boards? With the ability to easily mount items to the proprietary hole pattern on the ladder, we open up a world of possibilities beyond simply going put to the roof. 

Universal mount-ability – The Owl Side Ladder mounts to the factory roof rails already on the top of your van. It does not mount directly to the roof rack like many competitive offerings. This means the Owl Side Ladder works with the roof rack you already have. No need to build any custom mounts or buy extra parts. We include our very low-profile steel mounting plate that passes under all racks we have tested

• RVIA certified rated to 300lbs (tested up to 1000lbs)

Sprinter Hood Solar Panels (VS30 2019-present)

Introducing the VSS systems for Sprinter. Easily add solar to your Sprinter Van, Revel or Storyteller Overland. This innovative new solar solution from Cascadia 4×4 allows you to add 90 watts of additional solar to a spot on the van that is otherwise useless. 

During daylight hours these panels provide a constant flow of clean solar energy to your primary or secondary vehicle batteries. This gives you the ability to run 12V accessories like fridges, phone/laptop chargers, lights, power inverters etc. without the need to start your engine and without the fear of draining your battery and leaving you stranded. The VSS System™ is completely plug-and-play and can be installed in as little as 1.5 hours.

We chose the most stable and durable multilayered semi-flexible solar panel construction available to ensure that these solar panels can withstand extreme environmental conditions, maintenance-free, for years

90 watts of energy on the hood of your Mercedes-Benz Sprinter from solar panels that are only 3mm thick, meaning vehicle aerodynamics are not affected and the weight of the system is negligible.

Durable marine-grade solar panel construction. The panels are made from 8 laminated layers consisting of a Dupont™ Tedlar® backsheet and high tech polymers allowing them to stand up to harsh environmental conditions like rain/snow/ice/mud/rocks/sticks etc. High durability makes this panel perfect for an off-road vehicle. 

Plug-and-play MPPT solar charge controller. This waterproof unit mounts in the engine bay and is highly resistant to heat and vibration. It automatically controls how much electricity reaches the battery and prevents overcharging. The charge controller has been pre-wired with fuses, terminals, and connectors to take out all of the guesswork in setting up the VSS System™. 

Custom cut vinyl base sheets protect the underlying vehicle paint from damage. 

Factory-like appearance. The VSS System™ follows the contours and edges of the Sprinter van hood perfectly giving it a seamless and sleek aesthetic.

We add strips of 3M neoprene foam to the base of each panel. This high-density foam acts as a thermal barrier to protect your vehicle’s paint from damage and also aid in solar panel cooling. 

Air Compressor Mount (2019-Present VS30 Sprinter)

Having an on-board air system on a vehicle has so many great uses.  From airing up bike tires, to air mattresses.  Drying off wet items, blowing out dust from the interior or just airing up those big tires on the van after some off-road adventures.  The Van Compass Air System Mount makes it easy to bolt your choice of air compressors under the hood of the 2019+ Mercedes Sprinter VS30. 

Mounting the air compressor in the engine bay, next to the intake of the cabin air filter ensures that the air compressor will be kept out of the elements and free from road debris, dust, mud, water, snow and caustic de-icing chemicals found in snowy areas.  

This bracket mounts using existing holes already in the engine bay for a simple “no drill” installation and can be fully installed in under an hour.  We’ve designed this bracket to have a bolt pattern for a plethora of different brands and sizes of compressors.  Here’s a list of all the compressor mounting patterns already designed into the bracket:
