🔧 READY FOR YOUR UPGRADES!

This van is already fully functional, but leaves room for your personal touches. Perfect if you want to:

1. Add bigger off-road tires for adventure trips
2. Install more windows for light & views
3. Mount a ladder + roof rack for gear
4. Add AC or a diesel heater for four-season comfort

Start with a premium foundation, then make it 100% your own.

🌲 WHO THIS VAN IS FOR?

1. Weekend Warriors & Adventurers – beach, forest, and National Park trips.
2. Solo Female Van Life – 100% separation between cabin and living area, heavy duty lock, and van alarm.
3. Vanlife Minimalists – simple, reliable setup without unneeded extras.
4. DIY Upgraders – premium foundation with room to add AC/heating or exterior mods.
5. Creatives & Hobbyists – mobile basecamp for photo, film, climbing, or biking.

⚠️ HONEST NOTES

1. Factory AC not working (common for T1Ns). No diesel heater or rooftop AC installed (personal choice omission).
2. Few areas of surface rust (normal for this year/model) and some visible dents.
3. Minor quirks: one broken dash vent, buzzing radio.
4. Strong diesel engine, well maintained.

WHY SELLING?

Lightly used (only a few camping trips). Selling due to life changes. Save big compared to $100k–$150k+ new Sprinter builds — this is an otherwise premium setup at a mid-point price.
