Van was purchased in Oct. 2017 with 209,267 miles (current mileage as of 9/24/24 is 217, 425). The Van started out life as a cargo/work van for an electrical lighting contractor. Subsequently, van was used for several years as alternate transportation for my Interior Cabinetry and Woodworking Business. Van is registered as a Dodge Sprinter Van (from the day when Mercedes/Daimler own Chrysler Motors). Van has been rebadged with Mercedes Benz emblems (who wants their Sprinter van to look like a Dodge)
In 2019, work commenced on converting the van from a cargo/work van to a CamperVan. Major modifications include removal of the bulkhead partition (separating cargo area from driver/passenger Area), removal of front passenger bench seat to Sprinter Buckets seats for both Driver & Passenger. Complete exterior paint job, sound deadening insulation throughout, and installation of CamperVan components and systems (Renogy Solar capture and storage system, plumbing, electrical, interior cabinetry, appliances. Note: In Sept. ’24 a set of two(2) 200ah lithium batteries have been nstalled.
The camper van conversion is designed to comfortably accommodate two people for both weekend trips and extended touring and/or living. The design emphasis focuses on comfort, convenience and storage. The van can accommodate up to four passengers with seat belts for four).
Currently this van has 217,425 miles and is priced accordingly, The van is mechanically very sound and is powered by a six cylinder diesel engine. (the Mercedes M042 engine). In spring of 2023, the van was thoroughly inspected, and corrective maintenance was performed including new seals and fluids (service documention available. Since this work was performed, less than 2,500 miles have been put on the vehicle.
Concerns:
As part of the van conversion a new Xtron Radio was installed This radio has a 9” touch screen with Bluetooth capabilities and is specifically designed for the 906 Sprinter Van body style. The one drawback is that AM band radio reception is very poor.
The original passenger bench seat and removed and replaced with new set of Sprinter bucket seats (driver & passenger). As a result, the passenger side airbag was disabled and the SRS warning light on the dash is perpetually lit.
