Bertie V2

“Taking on a challenge is a lot like riding a horse, isn’t it? If you’re comfortable while you’re doing it, you’re probably doing it wrong.” Ted Lasso 

Van life has been an essential aspect of this couple’s outdoor enjoyment. Naming their 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170, Bertie V2 pays homage to their first van, a 1964 VW Split screen Microbus, Bertie Bus. This duo lived in Bertie Bus while exploring the beautiful expanse of New Zealand for years before settling down in the United States. This growing family wants to share those adventures in style and create new outdoor adventure memories.

Unassuming but significant, Bertie V2 packs a lot on the roof. Featuring our custom safari-style rack with an aluminum tubular frame, components include Maxxair 10 Speed Deluxe fan, Rigid Industries 50″ Radiance+ RDS LED Off-Road Light Bar with White Backlight, 140W solar panel, two low profile cross pars, and a Fiamma awning! All of these are accessible using the rear utility ladder. Featuring our 3-panel bed system, Bertie V2 offers additional sleeping thanks to two 36” bench seats and a fold-out hinge.

Bertie V2 is ready for any adventure thanks to an Agile Off-Road Ride Improvement Package aiding its suspension. In addition to upgraded 17” Black Rhino Warlord wheels and BF Goodrich K02 tires, the final touch for ruggedness comes in Agile’s newly developed “No Rub” Front Mini Fender. This adjusted fitting makes large tires and wheels possible. Bertie V2’s power source comes from 600Ah lithium batteries, a 280XP Wakespeed high amp alternator, and a 2000W Magnum inverter.
