The second-generation Marco Polo Vito in 1996, the Vito-based camper had movable seats mounted on a rail system, cupboards with practical roller shutters, a storable table, and clear access to the rear thanks to a foot-operated parking brake.
This was the iteration when a pop-up roof was introduced, which increased the headroom so passengers could stand in the cabin. However, the height was lowered to under two meters (6.6 feet), allowing the van to fit into more garages.
For the third-gen Marco Polo introduced in 2003, the camper model was based on the Viano. The van started to use an electrically operated pop-up roof and a bench seat with electrically folding backrests. It also had air cushions in the seat bolsters, providing better lateral support.
In 2015, Merc launched the fourth-gen Marco Polo based on the V-Class MPV, which is sold as the Metris in the US. However, the Metris was discontinued after the 2023 model year due to poor sales.
