2004 Dodge Sprinter Dually – Peggy!

Embark on an unforgettable journey with my 2004 Dodge Sprinter 3500, powered by a dependable Mercedes engine. This well maintained 211000 mile camper van stands ready to take on the continent. Its 140-wheelbase, high-top design, and dually-rear-wheel drive offer a roomy and comfortable interior for life on the road. At its heart lies a 2.7-liter Inline-5 Mercedes diesel engine, perfectly balancing efficiency with robust performance. Designed for ultimate discretion, the van enables a 100% stealth mode, giving you the freedom to sleep wherever you choose, avoiding costly hotel stays. Prepared for immediate occupancy, it comes with the promise of no unforeseen complications.

Features

• High ceiling! 73″ from floor to ceiling.

• Pull out table
• Refrigerator doubles as a bench seat
• Dually rear wheel drive! Improves towing capability, and makes it easier to get out of loose road scenarios
• 2-way battery charging system (solar/engine alternator.) As long as you have diesel in your tank, you can power your electronics.
• 300-Amp Hour AGM system
• 1000-Watt power inverter
• Several USB outlets 
• Multiple 110V AC outlets

• 2-burner propane gas stovetop and OVEN
• 50qt Refrigerator
• 12″ Deep kitchen sink
• 5-gallons of freshwater
• Electric Water Pump
• Max Air Fan (comes with rain guard) over bed and vent over kitchen
• Pull out sliders for cargo and mountain bikes
• Curtains that conform to the shape of the front seats, allowing privacy for the living space.
• 55-Watt poly-crystalline solar panels
• Mirror and magnetic boards make the interior fun and creative. I can replace the sticker.
• Carbon monoxide, smoke alarm, and fire extinguisher for safety.

Scenarios I made the design around

• Warm Wilderness Hangouts – The two swivel seats combined with the bench seat and bed allow for 4 people to casually hangout and hold a conversation over drinks. A natural place to return to after being cold outdoors.
• Work from the Road – A table pulls out underneath the bed and combined with the bench seat and inverter, allows you to work.
• Powershowers – I’m not big on outdoor showers but it’s undoubtably nice to have once or twice a week when I’m camping. The outdoor shower is perfect for this.
• Privacy Is My Main Sleep Aide – I hate people looking in on me. I designed the cockpit curtain system to prevent anyone from being able to shine a flashlight or headlight into my interior. It’s seamless so I can sleep comfortably.
• Cooking Cross Ventilation – The vent and the fan allow you to cross ventilate the space, making it super easy to dispel cooking smoke even while stealth camping.

Vehicle History/Maintenance

• I am the second owner of the vehicle and the person who converted it. It was previously a fleet vehicle for a locksmith. I have owned it for 5 years and have put 60k miles on it traveling the western united states.
• I have a full record of all the maintenance done on the van. You’re welcome to check it out, I might be willing to send it via email, just ask
• Here’s what I’ve replaced: High Pressure Water Pump, High pressure fuel pump, Glow Plugs, Radiator, Harmonic Balancer, Struts and Tie Rods. I have done regularly scheduled oil replacements/topoffs.

Current problems?

• Every 50th acceleration from the 3rd to the 4th gear the vehicle shutters a little. The fix is to either relax the acceleration and reaccelerate or to apply enough power to get onto the next gear.
• Some of the tires are unevenly worn on one side from when I didn’t rotate them on time.
• The AGM batteries are at the end of their 5 year lifespan. I can replace them for you, or take the cost of replacing them into account. If you prefer LiPo batteries, this is a chance to get them.
• Small scuffs on the exterior. You can rewrap the exterior in Tijuana in a color of your choosing.
• This vehicle is adventure ready.
