Campervan conversion on the highly desired T1N Sprinter. Please read the entire ad. I have answered a lot of potential questions in the description. Serious enquiries only please.

I originally bought this van from its previous owner in 2018. It was used by a roofing contractor before I bought it. Since then, I have done a comprehensive restoration of the “cargo area”, including lifting the factory floor and properly addressing any rust issues from the inside. On the mechanical side, there has also been comprehensive replace/restore/repair work done by professional sprinter specialists across the country as I have used the van to take me on some incredible trips.

It has now come time to sell it (as much as I will miss it), as I am going in a different direction and my needs have changed. I’ve listed all the work done below with full transparency. In its current state, I have just completed a cross-country journey from the east-coast to the west-coast and another one from California to South Dakota and back.
