We have enjoyed our 3 Year Road Trip around North American with the Sprinter, which we purchased in 2014 from Sportsmobile Texas where it was on consignment. The Sprinter will be on the Olympic Peninsula in Port Townsend, WA at the end of February. We are currently in Joshua Tree and plan on heading north on the west side of the mountains toward the end of January. We would consider showing the van as we travel.

Sportsmobile Texas built the van in 2007. It was used sparingly over the next 7 years ending with just 13,500 miles in December 2014, when we picked it up in Austin. They had completed some modifications after our purchase, including 200 watts of solar and inverter, diesel heater and re-configuring the couch to a partial platform bed for additional storage.


The van does not have house propane. I've used a Snow Peak Baja Burner exclusively as it allows us to cook inside or out without duplicating cooking devices. The solar panels power everything adequately, including the microwave.

It's a great vehicle for living in for a weekend or a a few years.

We are selling because we plan to be out of the country for a while, and don't want to have to store the van while we are gone. And besides, it needs to be used, not sitting in a Geezer lot.


Miles: Currently 70,300 but will probably end up with a little over 73,000 when sold.
Engine: 2.7L 5 Cylinder Turbo Diesel, which does not need Blue Def.
22-25 MPG depending on speed and terrain

Sprinter Sale

Update as of February 14, 2018

I am showing the Van to an interested party on March 1 in Seattle. They are traveling from the east coast with the intention of purchasing the Sprinter. I do have a list of other potential buyers and will be contacting those people if the van does not sell on March 1.
