Can you stand up in a Mercedes Sprinter Van?
Standing up in an empty van
The interior roof height of a Mercedes Sprinter is
1740mm (H1) - 2030mm (H2) - 2260mm (H3) .
If you are of medium height (178cm or 5"10') you
can't stand up in a Mercedes Sprinter H1.
But you can stand up in a Mercedes Sprinter H2 and up.
What happens if I insulate the van?
Are you planning on insulating and cladding the floor and roof? In that case you can't stand up fully in a Sprinter H1. But you would still be able to stand up in a H2 model and up.
What's a Sprinter Van high top?
Mercedes provides their Sprinter Vans with both high and low tops. High tops are elevated roofs to provide more headroom. Generally, everything above H2 is considered a high top, and should offer sufficient space to stand up fully.

Are Sprinters good camper vans?
Yes, they are often used by professional camper conversion companies for their top lines. They are too expensive for the budget lines though. Sprinters are, in comparison to let's say the Fiat Ducato, pretty large.
For example, the Sprinter L3 is as large as Fiat's L4. But the Sprinter L1 is one of the shortest vans around. This versatility makes it a great conversion van. An L3H2 model should give you up to 8m2 - which is used for the back of a modern van.
