This is a 2021 Mercedes Sprinter Diesel 170” RWD. The build was completed mid-2022 and has since been very well taken care of. It only has 31,000 miles on it and has been serviced for an oil change and fuel filter change at a Mercedes dealership. This van has taken us to so many beautiful places and we are now looking for it to be a new home for someone wanting the same. This van has all the capabilities of taking you off grid and keeping you there for awhile. We have never had a single issue with the build or the van itself. We built it to be our full time home so it has pretty much every luxury you would need and is built to last. Below we’ll include all of the specs and materials we used in the build:
