Ready for your next adventure. This 2002 Freightliner Sprinter 3500 dually (dual rear wheels) is built on the practical 144" wheelbase with a high-top roof, giving you full standing room inside.
The conversion:
Solar power for internal lighting and charging electronics.
Yeti Goal Zero 400 as battery bank and inverter
Kitchen sink with both fresh and grey water tanks
Fantastic Fan for ventilation and airflow
Retractable sun awning for shade outside
Sleeping & storage:
A comfortable queen-sized bed with a 6-inch memory foam mattress. The bed platform is fully modular — sections lift up to convert the space into a couch or to access the generous under-bed storage. Flexible layout for whatever the day calls for.
Engine: 2.7L OM612 inline-5 turbo diesel. Known for being durable and economical, routinely going 300k+ miles with proper maintenance.
Transmission: 5-speed automatic — the Mercedes 722.6 (also called 5G-Tronic or NAG1), used in the Sprinter from 2002 onward.
Configuration: 3500 series, the heavy-duty model with dual rear wheels for higher payload capacity and added stability.
Diesel economy: The 2.7L turbo diesel typically returns far better fuel mileage than comparable gas vans of the era.
174,000 miles
Rear Windows, Two Side Windows, Slider Door on Passenger side.
The T1N is widely regarded as one of the most reliable and sought-after camper-van bases ever made, with strong parts availability and a large community for support.
The transmission needs some work. It runs fine once the van has fully warmed up, but a buyer should plan for transmission service.
This is a solid platform for anyone wanting a turn-key adventure van with room to make it their own.
