🔒 The ARB Air-Locked Luxury Sprinter Apartment — Off-Grid, Off-Road, Family-Ready

This one-of-a-kind 2022 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170” RWD is more than just a van — it’s a fully self-sufficient, off-road-capable luxury apartment on wheels. Handcrafted over 2,000 hours using premium components and meticulous design, it was purpose-built for full-time off-grid living and has already proven itself on a four-month family expedition through the deserts of Baja and the mountains of Utah.

Outfitted with nearly every external upgrade imaginable, this rig includes a walkable solar deck, dual Starlink ports, ARB rear differential air-locker, WARN winch, RTX rooftop A/C, and a full Victron smart electrical suite. It transitions effortlessly between city stealth camping, remote overlanding, and family-friendly travel. Inside, the convertible rear dinette forms a spacious queen bed, while the living space features diesel cooking, underfloor heating, dual fridges, a private indoor shower, and family-focused additions like a retractable toddler gate.

One of the most game-changing upgrades is the ARB rear differential air locker, which makes this 2WD van outperform many 4WD and AWD setups in most off-road scenarios — with snow and ice being the only exceptions. For those unfamiliar with this elite modification, we’ve linked YouTube demonstrations at the bottom of the listing to see it in action.

Everything has been designed to be demountable, maintainable, and well-documented — including full manuals, wiring diagrams, and build photos. Whether you’re chasing work-from-anywhere freedom, long-haul overlanding, or a rugged yet refined mobile basecamp for your family, this van is turnkey-ready, obsessively outfitted, and fairly priced for the craftsmanship and capability it delivers.

Due to an unexpected return to Australia for business commitments, our once-in-a-lifetime travel plans have been cut short — for now. Rather than storing this incredible rig indefinitely, we’re offering it for sale in the hope that someone else can take her out on the road where she belongs.

If it’s not sold by June 9, she’ll go into long-term storage for our own future adventures — so don’t miss your chance.
