2006 Dodge Sprinter T1N Camper Van – Custom DIY Build – Boulder, CO

Meet Big Blue – a 2006 Dodge Sprinter T1N diesel, custom-built into a cozy, four-season adventure camper.

217k miles with a new turbo, suspension, and tires; runs great and is ready for weekend climbing trips, long road journeys, or full-time living.

I’ve lived in this van through multiple Colorado/Idaho/California winters, including 0-degree temps and big snowstorms, for backcountry skiing and climbing. Performs great in snow and rain.

These legendary T1N Sprinters are known to go 500k+ miles when maintained, and this one is already dialed for vanlife.

——— PRE-PURCHASE INSPECTION ———

Professional inspection completed at Linden Automotive in Golden, CO. No structural or mechanical issues were found. Following the inspection, $3,000 in maintenance was completed: replaced leaky fuel and power steering hoses, new belt drive, transmission service, and more. This van is ready to take on a trip across the country without stress.

Remaining items are cosmetic (cracked mirror, cracked tail light housing, A/C recharge needed) and are reflected in the price.

Technician’s note: “Overall the van is in fantastic shape. This has been well looked after and I see it lasting many more trips to come.”
