Beautiful, low mileage, MB 310 for sale for your overland travel plans near or far. See the state or the world at 85 kilometers per hour!
This van was originally a crew transporter for a Swiss Fire Department so it spent most of its life inside being maintained by the department. It was sold to a gal who used it briefly to transport sled dogs in the Alps. The third owners upfitted the van and used it to start their 2-year overland travel adventure. The 310 is the grandfather to the current version of the Sprinter and is known for its longevity and reliability. There were approximately 900,000 of these vans made so parts are not unreasonable or scarce.
The van went from Zurich to Morocco and back for its shakedown run. It was then shipped across the Atlantic where it stopped briefly in Iceland to play before continuing on to Halifax. From Halifax, it worked its way along the Trans Labrador highway and onto Inuvik and then into Anchorage where the third owners changed their overland plans and that led to our good fortune in finding this rig.
The van was converted to 4 wheel drive by a Swiss company called Larag almost as soon as it came out of the factory. Of the two companies that did 4wd conversions on these vans, this is the more desirable as it uses Mercedes Benz parts from a G class SUV so all conversion parts are OEM.
The interior has been insulated and upfitted using an 80/20 style aluminum framing system. There is a queen size bed and a storage galore. The house power system includes a solar panel for passive charging and for AC power there is a small inverter. For heat there is a Webasto forced air furnace. There is a 10 gallon onboard water storage system with a pump and an alcohol stove for cooking and a refigerator. To air the tires up there is an onboard air compressor. For navigation/communication needs there is a Panasonic Toughbook with a touch screen. Outside the van there is a Oz Tent Foxwing awning with two side curtains and a wifi sniffer antenna so you can use public hotspots via a router integrated into the van. The interior and exterior of the van are setup with LED lights. There is an auxiliary 19 gallon fuel tank for longer range. There is a 2 person Swiss DMV equivalent certified bench seat. The seat certification paperwork is included. The van will come with many spare parts (listed below) and a full size spare tire.
We imported the van and registered it in Alaska. We have already spent a week camping out in the van and have fallen in love. Unfortunately, we really under estimated our space needs with 2 boys and 3 dogs. Asking $24,900- come make us an offer.
