🚐 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144” High Roof DIY Camper Van

Seller's Description

🛠️ Build Story This van started life as an empty cargo van when I bought it in 2017. My dad and I spent about a year and a half converting it into a fully functional camper van — a true DIY labor of love. I lived in it for about eight months while traveling the West Coast, and it’s been lovingly maintained ever since. It’s ready for new adventures with someone who wants a well-built, road-ready home on wheels. ⸻ ⚙️ Mechanical Details • 2012 Mercedes Sprinter 144” WB, High Roof • Regularly serviced with full maintenance records • Glow plugs, brakes, and alternator recently replaced • Oil and fuel filters changed on schedule • Transmission serviced every 50,000 miles • Runs smoothly and reliably • Tires in good shape (though I’d recommend new ones for long trips) • Small cosmetic dent on passenger rear door — does not affect function ⸻ 🔋 Electrical & Power System • 340W solar on the roof • House batteries charge via alternator while driving • 3,000W inverter for AC power • Apple CarPlay stereo with upgraded speakers & subwoofer (runs off house batteries) • LED dimmable lighting throughout • Cell service booster + external antenna for stronger signal in remote areas ⸻ 💧 Plumbing & Utilities • 30-gallon fresh water tank • 5-gallon gray water tank • Water filter at sink • Propane stove & propane water heater • Outdoor shower hookup (connects to sink) • 20-lb propane tank • Nature’s Head composting toilet (works for #1 and #2) • Diesel heater under passenger seat (currently needs servicing) ⸻ 🛏️ Interior Features • Framing made from 8020 aluminum — incredibly strong and rattle-free • Couch folds into a bed • Overhead storage above cab, bed, and in closet • Built-in safe • Dometic 12V fridge • Tinted ceramic windows (UV-blocking, great for privacy and temperature control) • Clean, practical, and adaptable layout — perfect for road trips, weekend adventures, or even as a mobile workspace ⸻ 🧰 Exterior • Aluminess roof rack and ladder • 340W solar panels mounted on roof rack • Clean body with one minor dent (cosmetic only) ⸻ 🏕️ Why You’ll Love It This van is perfect for someone who wants a ready-to-go adventure rig or a solid foundation to customize further. Everything’s built on a professional-grade 8020 aluminum frame, so you can easily modify the layout without starting from scratch. It’s lived a good life — well-maintained, road-tested, and ready for more miles and memories. ⸻ 💬 Final Thoughts This Sprinter has been a total joy — from the build process to the road trips I’ve taken up and down the West Coast. It’s reliable, comfortable, and versatile. Whether you want to dive into van life full-time or just need a capable camper for weekend escapes, this van is ready to roll.
