My wife and I live in downtown Seattle and have the opportunity to purchase the house we've been renting. To make our dream of owning this home come true, we must sell our beloved Sprinter Westfalia (aka "Walter Westy").
​​
When we purchased Walter four years ago, he was in excellent, A+ engine/mechanical and A- physical shape, but numerous interior systems were broken, namely; the A/C, the Espar heater, the grey water, black water, and propane level sensors, the cd player and all the speakers. Since buying the van, we have invested over $15,000 in repairs, maintenance, and upgrades, making Walter Westy the ultimate "VanLife," go anywhere vehicle.

For full details and photos of our 2006 Sprinter Westfalia - please visit www.WalterWesty.com.

Price: $59,000 or best offer

Here is a list of features and known issues. Please visit our website and submit the interest form if you are interested in learning more.

MAIN CABIN

  • Espar D2 Airtronic Heater - (UPGRADED)
  • Literally brand new this year. Less than a few hours ever used, if that (we installed this summer and it's been hot)
  • Digital temperature gauge - set it and forget it. Keeps the van at your ideal temperature
  • Same heater model as used in large yachts. This thing keeps the van at any temp you want, even if it's -20F outside.
  • A/C (UPGRADED)
  • Low profile 110/12V Kerstner roof air conditioner
  • Was broken when we purchased. Replaced the motor and compressor. Now blows very cold.
  • Wish we didn't waste all the money on this upgrade as we've never once used it since installing the Fantastic Fan (See: Wet Bath section below)
  • Like New Generator​
  • Has less than 25 hours of use. Perfect operating condition​
  • Central Computer Head Unit (UPGRADED)
  • This unit was all but broken when we purchased. You had to use all of your might to press the buttons​ and get a response.
  • New contact points were installed throughout - now it works flawlessly
  • Custom Black Out Partition (UPGRADED)​
  • Installed hooks concealed in the hidden tabletop compartment and sewed a blackout curtain to fit the widt​h of the van. From the exterior, this partition makes it look like a cargo van. We've gotten away with sleeping in "No RV Parking" spots countless times because of this
  • LED trim lighting (UPGRADED)
  • TV Antenna - boomerang style
  • Cable TV & telephone hook-ups (1 each)
  • Smoke, carbon monoxide, and LPG detectors


KITCHEN


  • Two propane, stovetop burners​
  • Warming rack
  • Microwave (we took it out for more storage, but have the original)
  • Storage
  • Large roll top cabinet​ w/storage above
  • Cutlery and kitchen tools drawer
  • Two large cabinets below the sink
  • Two side cabinets for additional storage
  • Large, countertop storage bin
  • 2.1 cubic foot Refrigerator/Freezer combo​
  • Heat-insulated vent windows in roof
  • Heat-insulated vent windows in roof
  • LED lighting (partially UPGRADED)
​​

WET BATHROOM

  • Shower - with piping hot water for way better than expected showers!
  • Sink
  • Toilet
  • Under sink storage
  • Clothes drying rack
  • Fantastic Fan (UPGRADED)
  • This fan was very expensive, but we'd buy it again in a heartbeat. Instead of using the loud A/C unit that eats up your propane, we simply turn this on and crack a window near the bed, creating the perfect breeze that will keep you cool all year long.​


INTERIOR DRIVER COMPARTMENT​

  • Pioneer Bluetooth/MP3/CD Player (UPGRADED)​​​
  • Speakers (UPGRADED)
  • You'll never get amazing sound in this van, but this is as good as it gets without cutting into the van. The speaker ports only hold 4" speakers. The only way I've seen to get quality sound is to cut the dash and refab it to accommodate 6" speakers​ and add mounted tweeters.
  • Swivel seats for driver and front passenger
  • Driver and front passenger air bags
  • 3-way adjustable driver seat
  • 3-point seatbelts and head restraints for all seats
  • automotive Air Conditioning
  • AM/FM stereo with single CD player & two 20 watt speakers
  • Compass
  • Power windows, mirrors, and doors
  • Power door locks with remote keyless entry


LIVING/SLEEPING AREA

  • Large power skylight with remote and rain sensor
  • Integrated screens/shades on all windows and skylight
  • Heat-insulated vent windows in roof
  • Laminate countertops
  • Vinyl flooring throughout
  • Storage racks - rear doors
  • Built-in safe
  • Roof bed - 6’6” x 4’8” with high comfort springs, safety net
  • Mattress (UPGRADED)
  • RV mattresses are notorious uncomfortable. While this one is better than most because of the comfort springs,​ we knew we could do better.
  • Customized a 2.5inch dense memory foam mattress topper and sewed sheets to fits the bed.
  • SERIOUS UPGRADE over every other Sprinter Westfalia on the road
  • Sofa - converts into a 6’4” x 4’2” double bed
  • Crappy Coby Tv (UPGRADED/REMOVED!)
  • Not all things are created equal...like Televisions from 2005, so I removed it. If you really want a tv, you can buy a 1080p for < $200​
  • Large removable dining table and side folding table
  • Main switch for 12V supply and water pump
  • 12V fluorescent lighting with R.F.I. ballast under overheads (UPGRADED)
  • Many of the fluorescent lights with high efficiency LEDs​, resulting in longer cabin battery life
  • 2.5KW generator with remote start
  • 30 amp power hookups



EXTERIOR

  • Awning
  • Umbrella
  • External power connection
  • UPGRADED - power hookup adapter - takes up far less storage space than the original cable (which we have)​
  • External fresh and wastewater connections
  • Outdoor shower (UPGRADED)
  • This was broken when we bought it. We had a custom coupler made and refit. Now we use it all the time for hosing off our hiking boots and our gear.​
  • LPG - WATER - WASTE
  • Propane tank permanently mounted under vehicle 28 lbs.
  • Fresh water tank with drain 26.4 gal.
  • Gray water tank 18.5 gal.
  • Black water tank 9.6 gal.
  • Fire extinguisher
  • City water hook-up
  • Gravity fresh water fill
  • RV Stickers (UPGRADED)
  • We removed all of the UGLY stickers that made the van look like a geriatrics transport vehicle. They were professionally removed and there isn't the slightest fade or outline remaining. Cost nearly $600 to have done, but we simply couldn't stand how hideous it looked with them on there​

I had the pleasure of using “Walter” this summer for 10 days while we toured the Olympic national park. The van is in great condition and our family enjoyed it!
