Details:
-100 AH Lithium Ion house battery - very nice (and expensive) upgrade over the typical AGM car batteries most conversions use

-exterior hook-ups for shore power and solar power
-Isotherm refrigerator, 4.6 CF (larger than most van fridges)
-Dometic electric sink with two 6-gallon fresh water tanks, which can be refilled at any grocery store.

-both front seats swivel to face the van living space
-the factory bench seat behind the driver seats two and can be rotated when camping to fit under the side window and face the van living space

Nice rig, tastefully done

If I were in the market to replace my van . . . this would be the one.


Edit: How involved is it to rotate those rear seats?

[jamesindenver]

It's pretty heavy, but not bad for two people, and now that I have the technique down I can do it myself without a problem. If we are just passing through a place (park, sleep, keep driving) we won't rotate it. The van just doesn't feel quite as open and roomy that way, but you can easily walk around the bench since it's a 2-seater and not 3.

What a GREAT looking rig! Hope it sells quickly...if not, try to remove the "boon docking" photos and replace with cleaned and waxed driveway photos...I am sure most rigs on here have been 4x4'ing or on back roads, but letting folks think it is a virgin/pristine rig, might help seller not think they are getting something that has been fully utilized? Not to be deceitful, just thinking...any thoughts?

[Grampswrx]

Awesome! Finally someone is selling something that is built for more than just 2 people. Good luck with the sale!

[renegadeoverland]

this is absolutely gorgeous. Had this been posted 2 months ago (and had I been able to get a loan) this would have been a very serious consideration. As it is, I am happy with my van .... GLWS

[jamesindenver]

Thanks for the kind words everyone, we sold the van to a local family, so I hope to run into the van around town for years to come.

Although I am not a Sprinter fan this would convince me! Very nice! Where do you stow the counter bed supports?
