Sidewall cross section
What the sprinter and camper vans wall is actually made of
Every water and delamination decision on this vehicle comes back to the layer order in the sidewall. Outermost layer first:
- 01Painted steel skin
- 02Body cavity void
- 03Closed cell insulation
- 04Furring strip
- 05Wall panel or upholstery
- Bond system
- Mechanical fastening to the factory rib, with contact adhesive holding insulation and liner
- Moisture path
- Water enters at aftermarket roof penetrations, window cutouts and the sliding door track, then runs down the inside face of the steel skin and collects at the rocker seam.
- Crossover point
- Once corrosion has perforated the rocker or a structural rib, the section is cut and replaced. Filler over a perforated panel is not a repair.
- Where this is evaluated
- In shop at the Yorba Linda facility. Moisture mapping is part of the priced evaluation and is credited against an authorized repair.

Will insurance cover conversion van on my sprinter and camper vans?
If the damage is from a covered loss, generally yes, and the shop bills direct with every major carrier. Wear, age and deferred maintenance are usually owner pay. The evaluation tells you which side of that line the damage falls on before you file.
How does water reach this area on a sprinter and camper vans?
Water enters at aftermarket roof penetrations, window cutouts and the sliding door track, then runs down the inside face of the steel skin and collects at the rocker seam. That path is why the entry point and the damage you can see are rarely in the same place, and why the evaluation maps the whole run rather than the stain.
