[WTB] Family Camper Van

[dr. benny]

Hey folks,

I'm looking for a family camper van (likely a sprinter or transit) on the west coast of the US, but willing to travel for the right van. Preferences include short or medium length and mid or high roof. Looking to seat 5 people and sleep 2 adults and 2 young kids. It will be a weekend warrior vehicle. Pricing is TBD, but a new custom van is out of our budget unfortunately. Not looking for perfection and sadly don't have the time to build something myself. Options/Layouts/Equipment are negotiable. I'd love to hear if you have something that will work for us! Thanks.

-Ben

You have to give the people something to work with. Are you the must have under $15k guy? My budget is $15-$25k guy? I'll have to ask my wife for the $49k vehicle I love guy?

Hey GHI, thanks for the suggestion.

Are you the must have under $15k guy? -- No.
My budget is $15-$25k guy? -- This would be nice.
I'll have to ask my wife for the $49k vehicle I love guy? -- My wife is the one pushing me to get a van . 50k is our upper limit for the van of our dreams.

Take a look at Sportsmobile's used vehicles at https://sportsmobile.com/ It took me about five months to find the one we bought, and kept for 4 years of travel around North America.

If a RWD sprinter conversion is what you’re after, check out Sprinter Source classifieds. Many older vans will come in well below your $50k budget.

Mine is listed on here, seats 5, bed for two adults and only a hammock or cot away from sleeping two kids also. But it’s a low-tech / dry setup; not an RV as much as a 4x4 tent with fridge.

I have a 2014 short wheelbase, high roof, 2 wheel drive that I’ve been contemplating selling. If you’d like more info you can text me 951-634-1823 and I can send pictures and stuff.
I built it up for my family of 4 to take camping (we have two young boys). It’s a modest build, more of a “gear hauler” and place to sleep.
let me know if you’re interested.

I have a 2003 sportsmobile EB27 with cruiser top(high). Upper and lower bed. The inward facing couches have seatbelts plus the 4 captain chairs. It has 57,000 miles. It’s not for sale BUT i would trade it for a really nice pop top van.
