Your Get-Away Van: 170″ Sprinter with HUGE Kitchen/Garage

Meet Alan – small and nimble for discreet boondocking but large and roomy enough to be your full time home! He’s bright, beautiful, and smartly designed! The build out was done in late 2020 by an engineer and project manager team who thought through every detail to make this beauty spacious, comfortable and functional. He has gone cross country twice! He’s ready for more adventure. Sadly, he has not been getting out as much so we believe it’s time for him to find some new explorers!

Kitchen:

So many features make this a stand out for a camper van. Big prep area, concrete look counters with subway tiles, 2 burner gas stove and oodles of storage including room for a microwave make this a cook’s dream. Full sized sink with foot pump faucet give complete control and ease with dish washing. 3 X 7 gallon water tanks allow many days off grid and convenient fill up. A 7 gal gray water tank is easy to remove and dump. Large 3.2 cu ft. refrigerator and pantry add to the ease of adventure. The pantry alone holds a month’s worth of food.

Dining/Office/Couch/Extra bed:

The large storage bench couch fulfills many purposes. It seats 3 comfortably. Pull out the long hidden table for extra prep space, dining or working. Lift cushions for storage area. Remove back cushions to make a small bed for a guest. Spill a drink? All cushion covers are removable and washable.

Bed/Garage/Bathroom Components:

A large platform (64″ W x 72.5″) holds a wool topped Savvy Rest organic cotton and natural latex foam mattress for your comfort and pleasure. It sits on a coconut coir mat for ventilation. We chose a full size mattress with a body pillow for extra width. Beneath the platform is a large garage space for all your adventure gear. Access this space as well as the portable toilet from an interior door. The garage space also holds an outdoor shower with 7 gallon water tank.

4 Season comfort:

Be warm in winter with a propane heater directly connected to the 20 lb propane tank (in a vented locker in the garage). Be cool in the summer with the MaxxAir fan (with rain shield), 2 bunk windows with screens above the bed, and two large windows with screens in the living space that open wide. Alan has been fully insulated with foam board, spray foam, and reflectix (on thermal bridges) and comes with custom-made reflectix window covers for every window including the cab and windshield.

Solar/Electrical:

The off-grid capable 400-watt solar system contains 3 x 87-amp hour Duracell AGM batteries, a Renogy 2000-watt inverter, a Renogy 40-amp DC-DC battery to battery charger, and a Samlex 12-volt 15-amp battery charger. So Alan can charge in 3 ways: through solar while driving or parked, through the alternator while driving, and through shore power (such as an extension cord) while parked. You can monitor the electrical system using the Renogy Bluetooth module and phone app or the ammeter display module mounted inside the pantry cabinet.

Safety:

Great safety features include a dual-purpose backup camera and dashcam which can be set to record, a Slick Lock slam lock installed on the rear doors. a smoke/CO detector in the living space,and a propane detector near the floor. There are two fire extinguishers, one in the cab and one in the garage space. There is a safe with a power supply hidden behind a couch cushion. It has space for laptops and other equipment.

Beautiful interior and functional details:

White nickel-gap shiplap and durable vinyl plank floors throughout, small shelves and mirror in entryway, hooks for backpacks and jackets, above door hooks for hanging wet towels and swimsuits. There are multiple 120v outlets and several USB ports throughout.
