My van is a 2004 long and tall Sprinter passenger, nicknamed “Tall Can.” I scored it from my Brother in law's Mother a year ago with 38K miles and a fair price. I've logged 10k this past year and done a few mods to make it work great for shuttling friends while mountain biking and lugging dirt bikes around. It has been a great vehicle so far with no problems. I flashed the computer with Green Diesel Engineering Eco tune a month after ownership. The tune really helped the van's power and I see 19-21mpg going a true 70 on the highway loaded with bikes and friends.
I have had it set up with the two rows of seats and a bike rack in the back for a while. I have decided to covert it to a camper van with a rear platform bed that holds the MTBs underneath and a hitch rack for the moto. I've sold off the stock bench seats for some funds.
Here's the van on the drive home from the Bay Area. My girlfriend and I drove HW1 to home in San Luis Obispo Ca. We camped in Big Sur the first day we owned it and have camped in it many times this past year on a blow up air mattress. We are ready for an upgrade. Follow along and give me input on my build. Cheers.
