2022 Mercedes Sprinter 4×4

2022 Thor Sanctuary 19L 4×4 – The “Holy Grail” VS30 Build | $37k in Owl/Van Compass Quality Upgrades

Description:

THE ULTIMATE HYBRID: FACTORY RELIABILITY + ELITE OFF-ROAD PERFORMANCE

Serious Sprinter enthusiasts know that 2022 was the final year of the True Selectable 4×4 with Low Range. Unlike the newer, automated AWD systems, this VS30 chassis gives you total mechanical control and superior crawl torque for technical terrain.

54,500 mostly highway miles, driving from Cleveland OH (our home base) to Hood River, OR and Rodanthe, NC once a year for kiteboarding missions.

This rig started as a factory Thor Sanctuary 19L (MSRP $158k) providing a professional floorplan and full kitchen. It was then transformed with over $37,000 in professional upgrades, $195k of Base Van & Upgrades, from the best names in the industry: Owl Vans, Van Compass, and Backwoods Adventure Mods.

WHY THIS VAN? You can buy a custom build and wait a year for a builder, or buy a factory RV and realize it can’t handle a dirt road. This Sanctuary 19L is the rare “best of both worlds”—a turn-key, reliable home with a professional-grade off-road drivetrain that can’t be bought from Mercedes anymore.

NOTE FOR BUYERS: The coach is titled as a 2022 Thor Sanctuary, built on a 2020 Mercedes VS30 chassis. Because the factory Mercedes warranty begins on the initial retail ‘In-Service’ date (October 2022), the highly coveted Mercedes 5-Year/100k-Mile Diesel Engine and Powertrain warranty remains fully active until late October 2027
