Hi all,

After traveling the U.S. for a number of months with my wife, we're looking to sell our van as we switch to city life and we hope to save up and build another!

It's a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 144" High Top with 269K miles. The van is currently located in San Francisco, CA.

The CL ad with photos is below. More photos or a video walk through available upon request.

More info:

Meet Roosevelt, our trusty steed. He's our rough on the outside, beautiful on the inside 144" wheelbase Sprinter van. You likely won't find one just like it and it has a ton of charm. Roosevelt was previously a construction van and took his fair share of dings and dents prior to getting a remake and remodel. This is a conversion built out by myself, my wife, and two professional carpenters prior to traveling the USA chasing #vanilfe dreams. After traveling for four months and seeing the western half of the U.S., we're setting up camp in San Francisco, CA. Rather than park our beautiful van between foggy hills, we'd like to see it continue to journey throughout North America with new owners who will love it as much as we have.

Highlights

Our conversion has plenty of windows providing ample natural light, even on a cloudy day. For each window, there are custom made window shades that also insulate the van.

Bed - convertible - one where the dinette table drops down, the backrest cushions are placed in between the seat cushions, and viola! you have a memory foam bed.
Storage - Bench tops fold up providing ample storage for gear, the van's battery bank, and security safe. All cabinets are IKEA made with butcherblock countertops customized to fit the van layout. Wall shelves line one side of the van acting as a library, pantry, and storage for cookware/dinnerware. For additional storage, we add a bulkhead shelf above the cab and there is an ottoman behind the passenger seat. There's room for a shortboard surfboard, skis, or a snowboard behind the driver seat.
Bathroom - One perk of our build is that it comes with a separate bathroom! This bathroom is waterproof and can be used as a shower in addition to a private area to take care of nature's business. The bathroom floor is a custom made shower pan that drains to a tank mounted under our van. In the bathroom, we've installed a Thetford Porta Potti Toilet.
Hardwoord Floors/Ceilings - Our floors and ceiling are pergo hardwood floor and look amazing (even when a bit dusty!). To curve with the walls of the van, we used tongue and groove paneling giving it a fairly marine feel.
Insulation The walls, floor, and ceiling were insulated with a combination of high density foamboard, recycled denim insulation, and reflectix. Wheel wells, walls, and cab floor were deadened with Noico sound deadening mats.
Power - 300W of solar feed into a 12V 300Ah battery bank. We've added a 500W inverter as well.
Ventilation - MaxxAir 4500 fan
Refrigerator -TruckFridge 12V refrigerator (2.4 cubic feet)

The engine was rebuilt by Custom MB Sprinters in Portland, OR (a whole lot of parts were replaced including intakes, oil cooler, turb o seals and gasket, a variety of glow plugs, and a number of filters). It has 269k miles on it and running strong.

The transmission has the fabled RSN (rumble strip noise) and likely will need some transmission work in the future though we just put 15K miles on the van and the RSN was present the whole time. It didn't slow us down or cause any issues.

We're asking $40,000 OBO for this van. If you're looking for an adventuremobile for full time living, weekend fun, and everything in between, make us an offer.

Buyer can pick up the vehicle in San Francisco or I am willing to deliver locally in California.

More info about our van and travels can be found on our website at viathevan.com and additional photos can be seen @viathevan on Instagram. If you have any particular questions or would like more photos, feel free to contact us via email.
