Up for sale is our 2006 Dodge / Mercedes T1N Sprinter Camper Van, custom outfitted in Chicago in 2017. Our growing family has sadly outgrown this vehicle, and we are hoping to pass it on to the next adventurous owner. Meticulously designed and maintained under our ownership, the “VAAN” has taken us from coast to coast and many spots in between. We relocated to Seattle in 2021 after a year of van travel during COVID, and it has proven itself from the Olympic Peninsula to the Cascade range and up and down the Pacific Coast. This past summer (2024) was our first renting the van out on Outdoorsy to adventurers from all over. Check out our Instagram + Outdoorsy pages for more content, info and reviews:

The VAAN is a well-appointed, custom camper with a modern aesthetic perfect for a solo traveler or two adults. The van’s interior was designed & fabricated by architects with CNC milled components, premium finishes and tasteful details throughout.
A convertible sofa/bed + passenger swivel seat create a spacious main cabin, ideal for cooking and lounging. Easily transform the camper to sleep mode by folding the sofa flat; magnetic window covers and a cockpit curtain provide privacy while sleeping. Access the ample storage space below the bench seat for luggage and camp gear. The kitchen galley boasts a large countertop with a 2-burner propane range and undermount sink with swivel faucet and 50L refrigerator. Behind the driver’s seat stands a wardrobe fit for two, with matching large shelves and drawers for personal items.
The VAAN is powered by 200W of roof-mounted solar panels and a Goal Zero Yeti 1000Wh power station, supplying charge to the refrigerator, recessed dimmable LED lighting, 3-speed roof vent fan and faucet pump. Charge your electronics directly from the inverter with multiple 3-prong + USB ports. Rinse off after an adventurous day outdoors with the roof-mounted / solar heated road shower.
T1N Sprinters are known for their reliability, longevity and efficiency. Averaging 22-24 mpg, this van will get you further than most with less in the tank; the short body/low roof and superior turning radius makes this van drive/feel like a car, and maneuver easily around town and into tight parking spaces.
