"THE PLOVER" — 2018 MERCEDES-BENZ SPRINTER 2500 4x4 | OUTSIDE VAN CONVERSION
170" Wheelbase - High Roof - Sleeps 2 - Seats 4 - Only 37,908 Miles
A no-expense-spared, fully off-grid 4x4 adventure van with just 37,908 miles, built by Outside Van (Troutdale, OR) — one of the most respected custom van builders in the country — on a 2018 Sprinter 170" High Roof chassis, then finished with a complete overland suspension and armor package by Agile Offroad (Santee, CA). Over $233,000 invested in the build alone — roughly $202,000 in the Outside Van interior and systems and $31,000 in the Agile Offroad package — on top of the chassis. Full build invoices available. Graphite Grey, factory swivel cab seats, backup camera, 3.0L V6 turbodiesel.
This is not a production camper van. It is a one-off, invoice-documented expedition build with the electrical capacity, water capacity, heat, air conditioning, fuel range, and recovery equipment to live comfortably off-grid in any season — and the low mileage means it is just getting started.

WHY THIS VAN
Comparable Outside Van builds are selling factory-certified at $189,000 — without the Agile Offroad suspension, armor, winch, auxiliary fuel, and onboard air this van carries, and typically with more miles. A new build to this spec would run well over $300,000 with the current chassis and a multi-year waitlist. This van is ready now: broken in, sorted, and barely used.
Every core system was professionally designed and installed by Outside Van and Agile Offroad. Complete build documentation and invoices convey with the sale.
Clean title. Serious inquiries welcome — happy to walk through any system on a call or video.
