It seems so soon to put this up, but our time with “La Poderosa” (feel free to rename her) sadly is limited. We’re so grateful for all the adventures she has taken us on (and will take us on) and hope she will give her new owners as much joy as she did us! The previous owners left her in excellent condition (engine as well as all living systems) and we kept her that way and even managed to come up with some minor improvements (which was hard). With her powerful engine and high clearance she led us up some bumpy roads and had us cruising comfortably (automatic, cruise control) along endless highways. She was our tranquil oasis in bustling cities and our refuge in inhospitable mountains. Equipped with everything you need to drive away and many extras (e.g. fishing harpoon) she is ready for her next adventure.

Fully converted into a camper, ready to move in and drive away.
Everything except the badge is Mercedes (they just sell it under Dodge in the US).
The van is not marked as a camper and can be easily mistaken for a delivery or taxi van, this allowed us to “stealth camp” in cities without a problem.
Plenty of tools for car and house maintenance. Sprinters are used all over the continent, getting parts or mechanics have never been a problem.
If you are interested, contact us on WhatsApp (+31 6 36546313 or +31 6 11025273) for any questions. Detailed maintenance history available as well as a handbook by the builder and a PDF with more photos and a more detailed description, but we’d also love to show and tell you everything and get to know you though a videocall(:
Chiao,
Wouter and Bouke
