We have the parts you'll need to add an awning to your 2012 Mercedes Sprinter but due to the size you are wanting it will have to be an RV style awning as the longest one for passenger vehicles like the Thule you mentioned is 10 feet long.
To add a 12-1/2 foot black awning to your trailer you will need the following:
Solera 12' Solid Black RV Awning Roller and Fabric - # LCV000231439
Solera Manual Crank Style Awning Drive Head - # LC300031
Solera Manual Crank Style Awning Idler Head - # LC273479
Solera Manual Awning Pull Strap - # LC292794
Solera Awning Support Arm 69" Standard # LC281154
You will also need the Solera Rail Extrusion # LC715217. This comes in 8' sections so you will need 2 of them for your 12' awning.
