Hi,
we're posting our Sprinter here. For the sake of being completely upfront, we're not 100% sure we're going to sell but pretty damn sure. It depends partly on my wife's job situation, but also we like to simply rid ourselves of the monthly payments. We had plans to build it out fully but we'd like to downsize to a smaller van, with no monthly payments, hopefully an AWD Astro. Happy to start a conversation with anyone interested and answer any questions. We are the second owners. The first owner bought it from Mercedes of Eugene, OR, where he was a regular client. He ended up not liking it and traded it in for a couple sedans instead.
- $42k doll hairs
- 2014 Sprinter 144" wheelbase, high roof, 4 cylinder, 7-speed automatic
- 23k+ miles
- Insulated from tip to tail, floors, walls, ceiling. Done with Quiet Ride denim insulation.
- Fantastic-Vent, w/ remote and rain sensor. (The professional install leaked within 6 months, I think the bozos used silicone. All good now, I dried a little wet insulation and resealed with -
Geocel ProFlex RV sealant, great stuff, btw)
- Platform bed with ~queen size 4" mattress. Without exception, we sleep better on this than on our "nice" Tuft and Needle mattress at home.
- 10' Fiamma F65 awning (not shown in pictures), attaches via the roof rails
- Roof rails from Eurocampers.com
- Swivel seats
- I made a full size paper template of the floor, to make it easy to cut flooring to size
Attached are pictures of an email from the dealer to us about the options this van had when it came from the factory. It has a ton of little features that had to be paid for when the van was new, things like 2 stage sliding door, factory tie down rings, blind spot monitor, lane keep assist, premium appearance package (I think this was one of the most costly), etc, etc, etc.
Did I leave anything important out? I've been putting off posting this because I intended to drive the van somewhere pretty for pictures, but finally said the hell with it. Here are a few pictures of the van, in it's daily glory at home and at the gym.
EDIT: The van is currently in Oakland, Ca. and we are moving to Seattle (with the van) mid-May. New owners will have to take delivery of the van in Seattle.
EDIT: The dimensions of the bed/mattress are 69" x 66". This will not accommodate tall people, anyone over 5'9", probably. If you fit the bed then it's luxuriously wide, but if it's too small for you, you'd need to design a new sleeping solution for your height. From the beginning this bed was built as a temporary solution to get us camping quickly. The platform can be removed very easily with two people and the only thing left would be perfectly flush rivet nuts (threaded nuts) in the van walls. Also the clearance below the bed is 26.5".
Thanks.
