This is a 2023 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 144″ AWD High Roof in Selenite Grey Metallic, professionally converted by Sprinter Stories LLC, a Colorado-based van conversion business founded by James Frank. With just 2,500 miles on the chassis, this is essentially a brand new conversion ready to go.
James started Sprinter Stories out of a passion for van life and the craft of building. What began as a personal dream of skiing and exploring became a full business built around designing and constructing premium conversion vans. You can see more of his work and view full specs at www.sprinterstoriesllc.com.
Before listing this van, James took it on a full test trip to verify every system including water, electrical, heat, AC, shower, and all components is working exactly as it should. Everything has been tested and is fully functional.
This van also comes with a 6-month builder warranty. If anything needs to be fixed or replaced in the first 6 months after purchase, James will handle it. He is also available for post-purchase support via call or FaceTime if you have questions getting familiar with the systems after you take delivery. You are not just buying a van, you are buying access to the person who built every inch of it.
WHAT MAKES THIS VAN STAND OUT
Before getting into the full spec list, here are the details that set this build apart from most conversions on the market:
- Heated flooring throughout the living area
- Removable boot dryer. This van was built with ski season in mind and lives in Colorado.
- 12V rooftop AC unit (11,500 BTU) for the warmer months. Stay comfortable in summer without needing shore power.
- Samsung Freestyle projector with drop-down screen. Watch movies from bed or kitchen while cooking.
- Custom walnut ceiling, walnut butcher block countertop, and walnut sink cover that doubles as a tray when flipped
- Topo map vinyl wrap backsplash. One of the most distinctive design details you will find in any van.
- Slide-out cassette toilet. Pulls out from under the bed on a drawer, completely out of the way when not in use.
- Custom shower with floor drain plumbed to the gray tank. A full functional shower inside a 144″ van.
- Garage sprayer and hose accessible from the rear of the van. Perfect for rinsing dogs, bikes, ski boots, and gear without getting inside.

- Custom welded perforated aluminum roof rack. Fabricated, not bolt-on.
