WHY THIS VAN
Turnkey and van-life ready. Mechanically sound. Rust Free.
This is a purpose-built 170” wheelbase Sprinter with a premium off-grid electrical system (Victron + 400Ah Battle Born), tuned suspension (Van Compass Stage 4), huge 42-gallon fresh water capacity, and a beautiful natural-wood interior. Comfortable for 4-season travel with a roof “porch,” dual MaxxAir fans, wood stove, and thoughtful storage. I just went through this thing top to bottom to ensure whoever buys this will have a trouble free experience.

THE WOODWORK
• Cabinet doors made from solid oak slabs milled from my family’s farm, sealed on all sides—adds warmth, unique character, and durability. The oak/pine combo gives a tiny-home feel that photographs beautifully. Since the oak slabs are solid pieces – they have moved slightly (normal for solid oak), but still look and function great.

WHAT I LOVE
• Off-grid autonomy (400Ah lithium + 420W solar + huge water + dual fridges)
• Ride quality (proper suspension for a finished van)
• Roof deck evenings + wood-stove winters
• Practical, serviceable gear (Victron, Battle Born, Nature’s Head, Pepwave)
WHY I’M SELLING
• I travelled in this van for 1 year following the conversion. Then, I got married a year ago and now have a baby. I have not had a chance to travel at all recently, and I hate to see her parked in my driveway. I hope you will enjoy her as much as I did. Reach out.
