2006 Sprinter T1N High Roof Camper | Solar + Lithium | Adventure Ready
140” WB | 2.7L Diesel | 221K Miles | $26,500 | Indio, CA
Meet Babushka, our adventure-ready Sprinter campervan! Thoughtfully converted, carefully maintained, and ready for her next chapter.
We’ve owned and enjoyed Babushka since 2020, rebuilding her interior and investing in significant mechanical maintenance along the way. With a comfortable living space, off-grid power, and generous storage for outdoor gear, she’s ideal for road trips, weekend adventures, and extended travel.
Why This T1N?
The 2004–2006 Sprinter T1N is sought after for its durable 2.7L five-cylinder diesel engine, simpler mechanical design, and reputation for longevity. It predates the DPF/DEF emissions systems found on later diesel Sprinters.
Fuel economy can reach approximately 25 MPG on flat highways at 60–65 MPH, depending on conditions.
Built for Adventure
- Off-grid power: 200W Renogy solar, 125Ah Ionic lithium battery, Victron controller, 750W inverter, and 110V/USB outlets.
- Kitchen & water: 45-quart refrigerator, Dometic two-burner propane stove, deep stainless sink, 20-gallon freshwater tank, and outdoor hot-water shower.
- Living & sleeping: Fixed bed with extension to 74” long × 66” wide, 6” memory-foam mattress, passenger swivel seat, Lagun table, and bench seating with two lap belts.
- Comfort: Dometic Fantastic Fan, T-vent window, insulated window coverings, and portable Mr. Buddy propane heater for supplemental use while awake with adequate ventilation—not for overnight heating while sleeping.
- Adventure storage: Approximately 48 cubic feet of rear gear storage, ideal for climbing gear, camping equipment, and outdoor adventures.
- Extras: Backup camera, weBoost cell signal booster, and LED lighting.
- Quality craftsmanship: Interior rebuilt in 2020 with Baltic birch cabinetry, butcher-block countertops, and durable Lonwood flooring.
The high-roof, 140” wheelbase configuration provides standing room and comfortable living space while remaining relatively easy to maneuver and park.
