FAQ
Tiny Planet is a family-owned company in Sacramento, California, USA, founded in 2021 by Denis Maksimov and Sofia Maksimova. We design and build premium adventure vans (camper vans) on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, about 100 vans so far, at up to 3 vans a month. Every van is built at our factory at 8866 Fruitridge Rd, Sacramento, CA by a team of 30+ people, and you can visit the factory by appointment to see builds in progress.
Tiny Planet builds three Mercedes-Benz Sprinter camper vans for travel and adventure. If you are shopping for 4x4 vans, all three have all-wheel drive (AWD) and share the same systems and package structure. Orbita (170″ wheelbase, from $225,000) has a convertible dinette that becomes a California king bed and sleeps 3 to 4, or up to 8 with Max. Aura (170″, from $230,000) has a permanent queen bed and the longest galley. Pulsar (144″, from $229,000) is the compact, most agile model, with a Shower or Crew layout. See them side by side on the compare page.
Yes, and we have proof. In 2025, our founders Denis and Sofia drove Orbita 25,000 miles across three continents in six months with their young daughter, including freezing temperatures across Siberia and Mongolia. Every system we sell was refined by that trip. Our vans use residential-grade materials such as bamboo plywood and real stone veneer, and systems from Victron, EPOCH, RIXEN'S and Mercedes-Benz. New builds include up to 5 years of Mercedes-Benz coverage and a 1-year craftsmanship warranty.
Yes. Tiny Planet builds off-grid vans for long-distance travel in every season. A lithium battery bank of 460Ah, 920Ah or 1380Ah (6, 12 or 18 kWh), 600W of rooftop solar and alternator charging run 12V air conditioning and an induction cooktop without hookups or a generator. Expedition and Max packages add hydronic heating, heated floors and winter-ready plumbing for cold weather. Water capacity is 35 gallons fresh and 20 gallons grey, and Starlink-ready wiring supports remote work. Our vans sleep 2 to 8, depending on the model and package.
Yes, within our three models. Choose Orbita, Aura or Pulsar (Pulsar also comes in a Shower or Crew layout), pick the Essential, Expedition or Max package, add options such as a larger battery or an awning, and choose one of two interior finishes, Bourbon or Smoke. We do not build fully custom interiors. The Build your van configurator shows your price as you choose.
New Tiny Planet vans start at $225,000 for Orbita, $229,000 for Pulsar and $230,000 for Aura. Expedition packages start at $286,000 to $291,000, and Max packages at $324,000 for Orbita and $328,000 for Pulsar. Prices include the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter AWD chassis and the full conversion. To see examples of recent builds, visit our vans for sale page.

You can also schedule a factory visit at 8866 Fruitridge Rd, Sacramento, CA: visits are free, take about 2 hours and Matt welcomes you in person.
