Why Should You Have Dedicated Conversion Insurance?
Here at Just Kampers Insurance, we know what it’s like to own a campervan, whether from the factory or converted a panel van. No matter what type of campervan you own, we want to insure it.
When we started insuring campervans over 20 years ago, we wanted to be able to offer policies that reflected true campervan ownership, with restrictions that didn’t hold us back. That’s why we offer certain benefits as standard, like modification cover that doesn’t restrict you making changes, or cost a ridiculous amount.
And, we wanted to make campervan insurance affordable, so if you get a cheaper quote and we can’t beat it, we’ll give you a £50 Just Kampers gift voucher (terms and conditions apply).

About the Mercedes Vito/Viano Campervan
The Mercedes Vito panel van and Viano version, which has all or some of the load area changed out for passenger accommodations, have been manufactured since 1996.
Also called the V-Class, Mercedes have manufactured their minivan for nearly 30 years, and it’s never not been popular. There’s also an electric version, the e-Vito, that has been in production since 2020.
Is a Mercedes Vito a Good Campervan?
Yes. The Mercedes Vito is one of the most popular medium-sized vans for campervan conversions thanks to its practicality, comfort, and car-like driving experience. It offers a strong balance between interior living space and everyday usability, making it ideal for both daily driving and weekend adventures.
The Mercedes Vito is particularly popular for:
• Compact camper conversions
• Day vans and surf vans
• Weekend camping trips
• Everyday driving and commuting
• Pop-top camper conversions
One of the biggest advantages of the Vito is its manageable size. It’s easier to park and manoeuvre than larger panel vans while still offering enough room for sleeping, storage, and kitchen setups.
Mercedes Vito campervans are also known for:
• Comfortable driving dynamics
• Premium interior quality
• Strong reliability
• Efficient diesel engines
• Good motorway performance
Its popularity within the campervan community means there’s also strong aftermarket support for conversions and upgrades.
Mercedes Vito Wheelbase Options
The Mercedes Vito is available in multiple wheelbase and body length options, allowing owners to choose the setup that best suits their camper conversion plans.
Compact / Short Wheelbase
Approximate length:
• Around 4.9m
Best suited for:
• Urban driving
• Day van conversions
• Easier parking and manoeuvring
Long Wheelbase
Approximate length:
• Around 5.1m – 5.4m
Best suited for:
• Pop-top conversions
• Fixed sleeping setups
• Additional storage space
The longer wheelbase models are often preferred for camper conversions because they provide more usable living space without becoming too large for everyday driving.
Many Mercedes Vito camper conversions include:
• Rock and roll beds
• Pop-top roofs
• Compact kitchen units
• Storage systems
• Leisure batteries and solar setups
How Tall is a Mercedes Vito?
The overall height of a Mercedes Vito depends on the roof configuration and whether the vehicle has been converted with a pop-top roof.
Standard Roof Models
Approximate height:
• Around 1.9m – 2.0m
Benefits include:
• Easier access to height-restricted car parks
• More car-like driving experience
• Improved fuel efficiency
Pop-Top Camper Conversions
Approximate height:
• Around 2.0m – 2.2m
Benefits include:
• Additional sleeping space
• Improved headroom when parked
• More flexible camper layouts
The relatively low overall height of the Mercedes Vito makes it especially attractive for owners who want a campervan that can still be used comfortably as a daily vehicle.
Are Parts Available for a Mercedes Vito?
Yes. Parts availability for the Mercedes Vito is excellent. As one of the UK’s most popular medium-sized vans, replacement parts and accessories are widely available through dealerships, independent suppliers, and specialist retailers.
This means:
• Repairs and servicing are straightforward
• Replacement mechanical parts are easy to source
• Camper conversion accessories are widely available
• Genuine and aftermarket parts are available for most model years
The Mercedes Vito also benefits from strong aftermarket support for:
• Suspension upgrades
• Alloy wheels
• Roof bars and awnings
• Interior conversion parts
• Electrical and leisure upgrades
As an added benefit, Just Kampers Insurance customers can receive a 10% discount on parts and accessories from Just Kampers, helping reduce the cost of maintenance and campervan upgrades.
Do I Need Special Insurance for a Mercedes Vito?
Yes. Once a Mercedes Vito has been converted into a campervan or day van, it usually requires specialist campervan insurance rather than standard van insurance.
Specialist Mercedes Vito campervan insurance helps ensure:
• Modifications and fitted equipment are properly covered with Agreed Value policies
• Your camper conversion is insured for its true value
• Leisure use and road trips are included with EU Cover
• Optional extras like Breakdown Cover and Contents Cover can be added
Standard van insurance policies may not fully recognise camper conversions or modified interiors, which could leave gaps in cover. Specialist campervan insurance from Just Kampers Insurance helps ensure your Vito is properly protected based on how it is actually used.
This is especially important for:
• Pop-top conversions
• Self-build campers
• Modified interiors
• Added electrical systems
• Leisure and touring use
The Vito is the work van side of the Mercedes, and the Viano is more popular for campervan and domestic users, as it’s designed from the offset for domestic use. However, if you want to complete a self-build version, then the Vito panel van is a great option for couples or solo travellers.
Mercedes Vito Modified Campervan Insurance
By going to a high street insurer, you’re likely to be charged an extortionate amount for simple modifications that most campervan owners will do, especially if you’re converting a panel van into a campervan.
Here at Just Kampers Insurance, we aim to cover all modifications*, from paint and exterior changes to layout changes inside.
Modifications we cover include:
- Cosmetic changes including spoilers and body kits
- Racking, storage and interiors
- Adding or removing seats
- Adding or removing windows

- Non-standard alloy wheels

- Refrigeration
- Suspension modifications Lowering / Air-ride setups / adjustable ride height

How are elevating roofs on Mercedes Benz Vito models rated?
Elevating roofs on Mercedes Vito campervans are generally well-regarded by insurers, provided they are professionally fitted and properly declared as modifications. These roofs, such as the Reimo Easy Fit elevating roof, are designed to integrate seamlessly with the vehicle, offering additional sleeping space without significantly increasing the vehicle’s height when lowered. This design consideration helps maintain the vehicle’s suitability for standard parking structures.
At Just Kampers Insurance, we offer tailored insurance solutions for Vito campervans with elevating roofs. Our policies are designed to accommodate various modifications, ensuring that your vehicle is adequately covered.
It’s essential to declare all modifications to your insurer to ensure comprehensive coverage. Undeclared modifications may affect your policy’s validity in the event of a claim.

Are factory-fitted Mercedes Benz Vito features valued differently than aftermarket conversions?
Yes, factory-fitted features on Mercedes Vito campervans are generally valued differently than aftermarket conversions. Factory-installed options, such as built-in infotainment systems, air conditioning, or safety features, are typically accounted for in the vehicle’s market value and are often included in standard insurance policies.
In contrast, aftermarket conversions, including custom interiors, elevating roofs, or bespoke cabinetry, are considered modifications. These should be declared to ensure comprehensive coverage. At Just Kampers Insurance, we offer tailored insurance solutions that accommodate both factory-fitted features and aftermarket conversions, ensuring your Vito is adequately protected. It’s essential to provide accurate details about all vehicle specifications and modifications when obtaining insurance to ensure appropriate coverage and avoid potential issues in the event of a claim.
Do you insure Mercedes Benz Vito models used as day vans and occasional campers?
Yes, Just Kampers Insurance provides tailored insurance for Mercedes Vito models used as day vans and occasional campers. Whether your Vito is a compact day van with minimal modifications or a fully converted camper with elevating roofs and leisure batteries, we offer flexible policies to suit your needs.
Our policies can include options such as Agreed Value insurance, which ensures your van is covered for its full value, and optional extras like Contents Cover and Breakdown Cover. We also offer discounts for limited mileage and modifications, ensuring your policy is as individual as your conversion.
