*Please note this vehicle is not available immediately, this add is created to find a new owner for the van once I leave the country. I expect to be leaving North America in approximately 2-3 weeks. This is not a Volkswagen vanagon!
What am I selling? A Mercedes Benz 310D Westfalia, one of the most reliable old school campervans ever made.
I bought this Mercedes to turn it into my house on wheels for my travels through N-A. It took me over a year to find one in decent shape with the 5-cylinder engine and clean interior. After buying the van I spent over 6 months (starting November 2017) rebuilding the van to a as new condition. List of things done to the van (I am sure I forgot some):
- Rust free
- New insulation
- New wiring
- New professional paint-job
- New flooring
- Newly upholstered interior
- New mattress (extended and foldable)
- New propane gages
- Customs set of beaded car seat covers (old school seat ventilation)
- Custom Oak tables
- New insulation and sound absorption in the cabin.
- Custom ladder and spare wheel holder on the back.
- It’s all in the details, I even replaced all outside screws with stainless-steel screws
- Sand blasted and powder coated rims, these are very rare 15inch original T1 sprinter rims.
- 180W 28" CREE LEDBAR, 12000 lumen
- Had a Bear-lock placed. This locks up the gearbox, protection against theft.
- 5 Michelin extra strong van tires with just +/-8000 miles on them
Before I shipped the van to N-A I had it fully checked by a Mercedes specialist, he replaced every part that would need to be replaced within the next 30k miles. A list of the technical work done in early 2018:
- Gearbox revision
- New radiator
- New brake pads
- Brake lines
- Oil refresh
- Dynamo reserviced
- Will add more detail asap.
Please be advised that there are a number of different engine types on the market, this engine is the most powerful 5-cylinder Mercedes engine with 100hp. This van will take you up any mountain and cruise on the freeway comfortably at 65mph. Driving through lots of different terrains I get an average of 29 miles per gallon. It also has the overdrive manual gearbox, cruise control, abs and power steering. And last but definitely not least it has a diff lock on the rear axle which will get you a long long way up some of the toughest roads.
