The Story:
T1N are the most durable and robust build of Sprinter built in Germany. They are known as the Million Mile Sprinters and are commonly known to go for 500k miles or more. Ask any Mercedes Mechanic: 2004 – 2006 T1N Sprinters were built for the FedEx fleet for long term usage.
We’re sadly needing to part ways with this van since a new job opportunity is taking us to the east coast, and we’re unable to take her with us. She’s been great to us and is looking for a new owner! Perfect for couples, friends, and solo travelers! We’ve
traveled in this van through winter (lowest temps -7°F) and summer (high temperatures >100°F) with no issues. We love our van and hope you will too!

Great condition / Low mileage / High quality build. Rare body type with lots of amazing stock windows! Extensive maintenance records and receipts.

We left open space in the galley for flexibility – we have used it for camp chairs, inflatable mattresses to host friends, or squishing in extra bodies when the weather is bad. Added a nature’s head composting toilet to the galley, so feel free to throw in storage around it or leave it open if you don’t want this flexibility!
