Built by The Vanlife Collective in Hood River, this 2025 Sprinter 144 AWD is built on The VLC’s Sherpa platform — a clean, modular build designed for year-round travel throughout the Pacific Northwest and beyond.
The systems are simple to use, easy to service, and built to handle PNW weather conditions and terrain (aka all-conditions). With 400Ah of lithium power, 400W of solar, winter-ready plumbing, and the Elevation Station leveling bed, the Sherpa platform is designed for outdoor versatility, weekend missions and extended off-grid travel.
