Feel Good Story:
Offered here is a low milage 2006 T1N Sprinter. This is the last year (and most reliable) T1N before Mercedes changed their exhaust system. The van is in excellent working condition, with all mechanical work done at Sprinter Pitstop.

The van has 4 seatbelts (rear bench installed by Sprinter Pitstop), and we are reluctantly selling because we will soon need one more seatbelt. We’ve taken this van all over including: Bend Oregon, Yosemite, Mammoth, Utah, Mojave, Big Sur, Kings Canyon and of course more local trips to San O. We’ve comfortably winter camped in temps as low as 20 F with no issues.

The van was designed and built for a family of 4 + dog(s). The primary goal was modular interior storage (including surfboard), large queen bed for parents, a dog crate, and room for 2 toddlers to be buckled and sleep. We also prioritized clean-air products, including low-VOC flooring, wool insulation, Espar heater, and cedar ceiling.
