Hi everyone, we are selling our well-maintained diesel 2005 Freightliner T1N Sprinter with a beautiful camper buildout, affectionately named “Little Bo-Peep”. Asking $31,500, cash or certified check; not entertaining trades at this time. Located in Salt Lake City, Utah.
More images, and full maintenance logs available on request.
This sprinter lived in western North Carolina in its early life, before moving out west to Arizona, Colorado, and now Utah, helping it to be rust-free. It served a couple of years as a delivery van in Arizona. Previous owner in Colorado began the camper van conversion. We finished the conversion and completed all mechanical maintenance. We replaced and repaired parts with the intent to own it for another 10 years and 100,000 miles, but we’ve decided that we want to focus on a bit more overlanding and are moving over to a 4×4 build.
The T1N sprinters (’02-’06 in the US) are some of the best Sprinters to ever be made, known affectionately as the million mile sprinters, the owners are near fanatical. Easy to work on and reliable, the T1Ns are both fuel efficient and a work horse, and can tow well, making them perfect for camper van build outs.
No cap dance, no black death, rust-free, all major known potential T1N issues have been resolved or prevented.
