Description
Custom camper vans are becoming more and more popular, and it’s widely acknowledged the Mercedes Sprinter provides the perfect foundation for a home on wheels! This LWB 2008 model ticks all the boxes when it comes to campers: space, equipment and reliability. Originally from the UK before arriving in Jersey in 2016 and has covered 152,419 miles from new.
The exterior of this Sprinter looks fantastic. Starting with the bodywork, having been stripped back to bare metal before the build commenced, it’s a very solid foundation. Following this it was then professionally resprayed in Mercedes grey metallic which is presented in excellent condition. The black bumpers, grill and side panels providing a smart contrast. This camper van also has a full-length roof-rack which houses both solar panels to aid electrical power requirements and also an electrically operated Bundutop roof tent. Completing the exterior are the 18-inch black alloy wheels which are all in great condition with all four-tyres providing a significant amount of tread.
Exploring the front cabin, the black leather and grey Alcantara driver and passenger 2 seater bench are presented in excellent condition. The surrounding door cards, and dashboard follow this theme which also includes a touch-screen Android infotainment system.
Moving into the double insulated rear area via the passenger side sliding door, you enter a smart ‘L’ shaped seating area. Under the cushion seats are handy storage units, with further storage available above. Natural light is available via the windows on each side of the camper and through the front cabin, however it also has customisable LED lighting throughout the rear cabin. Adjacent to the seats is the kitchen space which incorporates a cooker, hob, sink and fridge/freezer. There is also a wall mounted TV which can swivel to suit seating position.
We then move to the bathroom area. Behind the retractable sliding door is a ‘wet’ compartment with vapour barrier which houses both a WC and shower unit. Finally, the remaining space to the rear of the camper provides smart leather bench seats on each side which fold down to make a substantial double sleeping area.
Under the bonnet is a 2.1 litre turbo diesel engine which provides drive to the rear wheels via a 6-speed manual gearbox. It’s covered less than 400 miles since it’s last full service which included new brake discs and pads both front and rear. It will also be fitted with a new power steering rack before handover to the new owner.
This Mercedes Sprinter has had a significant amount of time and money invested in it to build a excellently prepared and equipped camper. There are only a couple of items which need to be connected such as the water tank and central heating to fully complete configuration and ensure it’s ready to be enjoyed to its full capacity, whether that’s camping locally or stretching its legs and touring in Europe.
