2024 AWD Mercedes 170 – "The Ultimate Family Expedition Rig"

Seller's Description

Seller’s Note: This isn’t a weekend warrior build; it’s a redundant, high-capacity expedition vehicle designed for a family of four. We built this to be a forever van, but an international move means it needs a new home. Avoid the 12-month build wait and buy a fully sorted, professional-grade rig today. Offers welcome! 1. The "Infinite Power" System (Victron, Solar, Shore & Wakespeed) Unlike standard builds that rely on a single alternator or small battery banks, this system is designed for indefinite off-grid use. • 10.2kWh (800Ah equiv.) Lithium Bank: Runs the 24V Nomadic X3 AC for days, not hours. • Secondary Alternator + Wakespeed WS500: Dedicated charging that delivers up to 2000W while driving. This is the smartest regulator on the market, protecting your engine while fast-charging your house batteries. • 500W Military-Grade Solar: Walkable roof deck panels—rugged enough to stand on while loading gear. • Total Control: Cerbo GX with Touch 50 screen. Monitor your entire system (water, power, temp) from one hub or your phone. 2. Family-First Safety & Comfort Rare 4-seat, 4-sleep configuration with industry-compliant safety. • Seating: Dual Scheel-Mann rear swivel seats—widely considered the most comfortable automotive seats in the world. • Sleeping: Adjustable Adventure Wagon Moab Queen system above, Queen below, both with Roam Rest mattresses. • Safety: L-Track throughout for secure, crash-tested cargo and storage mounting. 3. True 4-Season Capability • Climate Control: Nomadic X3 24V AC (Ultra-quiet) paired with an Espar Diesel heater (tapped directly to the van’s fuel tank). • Insulation: Alpine Van Works custom panels with Thinsulate kit for superior thermal and acoustic dampening. • Windows: Broad Arrow dual-pane curved windows (built-in screens/shades)—better insulation than standard glass. 4. Off-Road Performance & Armor Built to handle the Pacific Northwest backroads with ease. • Suspension: VanCompass Inverted Rally Struts (Adjustable) and Falcon Rear Shocks. This eliminates the "sway" common in heavy Sprinters. • Protection: Full Backland Bison Series armor—Engine skid plate, Rear Differential plate, and True Rock Sliders/Steps. • Exterior: Tanner Rack Safari roof rack with 50” integrated light bar, side and rear lights, and flush mounted Fiamma F45s awning. 5. Marine-Grade Water System • Hot Water: Isotemp 4-gallon stainless marine heater on demand. • Purification: Guzzle H2O UV+ filtration system—safe drinking water from any source. • Setup: 20-gallon internal tank (freeze-protected) with outdoor shower and indoor-ready galley.
