2015 Mercedes Sprinter Cargo 2500 170” WB. 77K mi 2.1 lt 4 Cyl. Twin Turbo Diesel engine. (23-25 MPG).
Overview
Our Mercedes Sprinter has been loved and carefully lived in for the past 3 years. Hopefully, our obsession with cleanliness will be reflected in the lack of wear and tear on the interior, despite three years of full-time use. It was built with passionate and meticulous attention to detail and materials, the van was “furnished” by an Amish master carpenter, including attentive finishes like beveled edges and rounded corners, as well as a plant nook and kitchen backsplash. Exhaustive research into green building materials led us to use half-inch Purebond hardwood plywood (formaldehyde-free) for all woodwork, low-odor Greenguard-gold certified paint, and environmentally friendly tung oil to finish the counter tops. Additionally, the van is well under its 8550 GVWR allowing for 23-25 mpg average fuel efficiency.
It was built to be a self contained completely off grid camper. We can comfortably stay in one place for up to ten days at a time. Robust all electric, single fuel source. Nature’s Head composting toilet, garage mounted rear hot shower and ample fresh water storage. We hope you’ll love adventuring in Ubu as much as we have.
