2017 Outside Van Mercedes Sprinter 3500 4×4 high roof 170

Professionally built by Outside Van (OSV) — one of the most respected custom van builders in the country. This is a purpose-built, expedition-grade conversion — not a DIY or mass-production RV.

Here’s a link to the van when it was new on Outside Van’s website: https://outsidevan.com/van-gallery/a-m-p-van/

Originally commissioned as a fully custom build for a high-profile client and executed to OSV’s highest standards. This van has a documented history.
