Upgraded Suspension: Sprinter conversions with stock suspension handle poorly under load and are dangerous to drive off pavement. The unevenly distributed weight coupled with dirt roads and elevation can result in catastrophic failure that will leave you stranded and in need of extremely expensive repairs. This van’s suspension comes fully loaded with a professionally outfitted system from 4-Wheel Auto-parts (May 2023). The modification includes new tires, wheels, shocks, sway bar, and a parabolic spring kit. Each item was custom selected and aligned to evenly distribute the build’s weight and maximaize stability. This $8,000 package will provide you the peace of mind and capability necessary to navigate to the most epic campsites.

Electrical: This system was designed to provide every amenity of normal life. It’s been tested in the cold of winter in Maine and the heat of summer in Arizona. The 12VDC Dometic A/C unit provides refuge during the hottest of summer days. Either the external Eco-flow generator or Renogy DC-DC alternator charger can independently support running the A/C indefinitely. While the battery supports 7-10 hours of night-time independent operation.

Builder Bio: Hello! I spent the last 18 months converting this sprinter to facilitate my passion for adventure. Prior to this project I worked professionally in carpentry and home construction for two years before studying electrical engineering at the US Naval Academy. After obtaining my bachelor’s degree, I commissioned as an officer in the U.S. Navy’s submarine force where I certified as a nuclear engineer. Safety was my utmost concern in the design of this van and I’ve invested heavily with my time and money to ensure this home will last. I won’t claim to have the same experience as professional van-builders, but rest assured, this tiny home is safe and ready to explore for decades to come.
Thanks for checking out my van! Feel free to shoot me any questions.
-Tommy
