Description
This cosy, characterful van has been such a lovely part of our lives for the past 6 years. We’ve been to France and Spain with her and even enjoyed a few cheeky overnighters in city centres due to her not looking like an obvious motorhome. Also THE finest way to go to festivals and the ideal refuge after a spontaneous swim in the sea or a long rainy walk.
• 2012 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2.1L Turbo Diesel
• Very smooth, responsive and powerful ride
• 6 Speed
• Good service history, fully serviced July 2025
• MOT to April 2027 (minor advisories that do not affect the running)
• Bluetooth connectivity
• Cruise control
• Electric windows
• 32 – 35mpg depending on the types of driving.
• A few superficial dents in a lower panel on right hand side of the vehicle, which have been treated and resprayed. These are cosmetic only. (see photos)
At just over 162k miles on the clock, she’s nowhere near retirement and this one has taken us from long motorway journeys to navigating narrow French villages (the turning circle for such a big vehicle is amazing!) and has always offered a smooth and reliable ride.
Conversion Description
With wood panelling, a hand laid parquet floor and cute kitchen, this van offers a really lovely place to spend time – alongside some excellent tech which will enable you to live off-grid. Janis (Joplin) provides a cosy, very comfortable space to sleep – enabling you to enjoy trips that last much longer than a weekend. (My partner is over 6ft and can easily stand up in the living area and fit in the bed.)

• Stainless steel sink with electric pump powered tap
• Large fresh water and grey water collection tanks under sink

Bed Description:
The U shaped seating area converts into a sturdy platform bed, with the seat cushions rearranging to form a mattress. The seat cushions are upholstered in a sturdy fabric that can be zipped off for washing and the foam inserts are firm but comfortable. We have always slept very well in here and the bed is large enough for a 6ft+ human to use 🙂
