2017 Custom Sprinter for sale- $145K

[robbiearl]

Hi Class B Gang - I spent a lot of time lurking here a couple of years ago as I was formulating ideas for how I wanted to build my rig but I am now sadly selling it after very little enjoyment.

The design point for my van was to have an rugged exterior but a more stylish interior hence material selections like walnut. The other key design point I had was for an entirely off grid set up since I like to traverse forest roads and avoid campgrounds.

Van was customized by Johnson Custom Vans in San Diego.

Mileage - 5K - Drove it from San Diego to Austin November 2017 and just completed an Austin to Charleston, SC trip in April 2018. I live in Austin, TX and the van is here with me.

Suggestion for increasing sales potential among knowledgeable buyers:

Post pics and further details on what "off-grid" means in the context of this vehicle. Or redirect to a website with that info. Walnut will generate only a limited amount of interest. The incremental value is in the electrical upgrades relative to what else is serving as competing sales.

You might want to re-word this.

It sounds like there is something wrong with the rig.

@BBQ - Funny that you mention that because I did want to edit the expression but couldn't edit the original post.

To clarify the sadness comment, the van is in perfect condition but I'm sad to be selling it after not owning it very long. My sister ended up in a really bad accident a few months ago and I am now on point to care for her quite a bit which is limiting my time to enjoy the van.

Is the water heater electric?, is there any furnace?

Electric - no furnace

If these are Lifeline GPL-31XTs, they are awesome batteries.
