2020 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 WINNER Adv. Van Expo Most Unique DIY

$82,000. All reasonable offers will be considered.

Maintenance up to date.

This Sprinter was built for real off-grid travel, with a full 80/20 aluminum extrusion frame underpinning the entire interior — stronger and more modular than a typical wood-frame build. Has held up completely for 5 years, even over rough forest service 4×4 trails. Full walkthrough video available. 3M Thinsulate and sound deadening throughout ceiling and walls, rear and slider doors.

Sleeping & Layout

Stretch out front-to-back in a bed built for two 6-footers. Fold up the murphy-style bed each morning to reveal a full passenger-side work surface and interior sink, or shorten it for daytime access to the sink — no need to choose between a made bed and a usable kitchen.

Kitchen

Slide the entire kitchen — griddle/stove, fridge, pantry drawers, dishes and utensil drawers— out the rear passenger side and cook a full meal with the doors open to the view, or keep it all tucked inside when the weather turns. Only the Blackstone propane griddle/stove combo is restricted to outside use; everything else works either way. Rinse dishes at the small interior sink with its fold-down RV faucet, gray water captured in a two 3.5 gallon swappable tanks so you’re not hunting for a dump station every night. A large Lifetime style folding table neatly stores vertically in the garage for quick and easy setup.

Power & Water

The Renogy 100Ah LiFePO4 battery (charged on the road via a Victron Orion DC-DC charger) quietly keeps the Dobinson’s Danfoss compressor 12v fridge cold, lights on, Maxxfan running, pump pumping and devices charged for days without needing a hookup or a generator. A 33-gallon Northwest Conversions wheel well tank feeds an Aqueous 6L 12V water heater (with a manual switch to turn on while driving, thus heating water to hot while the alternator recharges the battery. Turn it off when you arrive at camp and a mixing valve gives you an evenings worth of warm water). Aquor connectors are used for fill/drain, exterior cold water faucet and to supply exterior propane water heater, and a hot water outlet for hot water from the 12v heater. All cold water is filtered through a Blu Technology 2 stage filter.

Bathroom & Shower

Enjoy a hot shower outside in the Joolca Ensuite shower tent with the Joolca HotTap Nomad heating water on demand — real showers, wherever you park. The Wrappon dry flush toilet, with custom raised height and mounted in a Front Runner ammo box (with all the refills and power cord on hand in the box) means a real bathroom setup without towing a trailer or making a public restroom run.

Comfort & Extras

Sleep easy with the MaxxFan pulling a breeze through on warm nights. Pull out the Free Spirit Recreation rear awning — custom-height poles let both rear doors swing open even with it deployed — for instant shade over your outdoor kitchen. Sink into the custom 6” mattress and seat bench cushions after a day on the trail. The Aluminess rear ladder gets you to the roof, the Backwoods Adventures Mods rear storage box holds the Hottap and two 5 lb propane tanks, and Front Runner ammo boxes keep gear organized and out of the way, and The Wanderful headliner shelf enclosure and Lagun table mount keep the interior functional and clutter-free. WeatherTech front floor mat and seat-back organizers keep the cab looking new, and the Ram Mounts phone mount keeps navigation within reach.

Crew seats were removed for build space and sold but attachment hardware is retained if a buyer wants to purchase replacement and reinstall.
