MERCEDES SPRINTER ACTION VAN:
I've got the perfect mobile base camp for weekend warriors, road trippers, and adventure junkies: the Action Van.
This 2011 Mercedes Sprinter has been professionally built to provide the ultimate blend of creature comforts, gear storage, and configuration flexibility. It's completely self-contained and designed for off-grid travel. With impeccable maintenance, upgrades to components like tires and suspension, and less than 33,000 miles, this Sprinter is better than new.
For an exhaustive list of build details, key features, and notes on the overall design approach, please visit the Action Van site:
