Quick answer

What is National Traveler?

Its two primary packages are the longer Golden Eagle and the compact Silver Eagle.

A new name in premium passenger travel

Introducing National Traveler luxury Sprinter vans

For travelers who need more passenger room than a traditional SUV—but do not need a camper van or full-size motorhome—a luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter passenger van can occupy an appealing middle ground. National Traveler builds specifically for that space, combining an expansive Sprinter cabin with upscale seating, practical materials and technology intended to make long drives more enjoyable.

The brand is now available through Dave Arbogast Conversion Vans, giving shoppers another way to compare luxury passenger layouts alongside our broader selection of luxury Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans.

National Traveler offers two core configurations: the Golden Eagle on a 170-inch-wheelbase or extended Sprinter platform and the Silver Eagle on the more maneuverable 144-inch-wheelbase platform. Together, the packages cover six, seven, eight, and nine passenger travel needs.

How is a National Traveler different from a factory passenger van?

A factory passenger van prioritizes maximum seating and general transportation. A National Traveler conversion is designed around fewer passengers, more individual space and a more premium rear cabin.

  • Individual captain’s chairs: Select layouts feature soft-touch, diamond-quilted seats that can swivel, slide and release from the floor.
  • Passenger-focused climate: A dedicated rear heating and air-conditioning system helps support cabin comfort in changing weather.
  • Onboard entertainment: Package-specific smart televisions and rear audio give passengers more ways to enjoy the trip.
  • Flexible everyday utility: USB charging, cupholders, storage and removable seating help the cabin adapt to different journeys.

Designed around the passengers

Luxury features that remain practical

National Traveler’s appeal is not based on one feature. It comes from combining comfort, flexibility and everyday usability in the same cabin.

Flexible seating

Quick-release captain’s chairs can help owners adjust passenger space and cabin utility for different trips.

Rear climate control

A separate rear-cabin system supports passenger comfort without relying only on the front dashboard controls.

Entertainment and audio

Smart TV and rear sound packages make the cabin more enjoyable for road trips, events and group transportation.

Premium flooring

Weather-resistant vinyl plank flooring provides an upscale appearance while remaining easier to maintain.

Charging and storage

USB connections, cupholders and illuminated storage help passengers keep essentials organized and accessible.

Exterior upgrades

Available cladding, side steps, two-tone treatments and upgraded wheels distinguish the conversion from a standard cargo van.

Who is it for?

A spacious alternative for families, executives and groups

A National Traveler can make sense when passengers are the priority and a conventional SUV feels too confined.

  • Family vacations and long-distance road trips
  • Executive and corporate transportation
  • Hotel, resort and hospitality guest service
  • Sports, entertainment and event travel
  • Comfortable transportation for multigenerational groups

What should you compare before buying?

Start with the number of passengers you expect to carry most often. Then compare wheelbase, aisle space, seating orientation, removable-seat hardware, entertainment equipment, upholstery, flooring and exterior options.

Equipment varies by individual vehicle, so confirm the build sheet, chassis configuration, warranty documents and installed features before purchase. Our specialists can help you compare current and incoming vehicles based on how you plan to travel.
