Niki & Dan

2022 Sprinter 4x4 2500

170” Wheelbase

This van was built for comfortable 4 season travel - particularly in winter months. Niki and Dan are avid skiers who like to spend time in the mountains. They previously owned a Winnebago Revel, but the shorter wheelbase, tight interior layout and constant plumbing, electrical and other quality issues left them wanting more.

We worked with them to custom design and build this Sprinter 170 to suit their needs perfectly. It’s rugged on the exterior and underneath - built to go anywhere and do anything. Inside brings the comfort and features of home along with you.
