Illahee

Illahee: Country, land, ground, earth, region, district, soil, dirt, where one resides.

Illahee, a striking 2021 Graphite Grey Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 170, was designed for a family of four to enjoy cross-country travels, including skiing, biking, and hiking. With a nod to the Washington State Ferry sharing the same name, this van will return from the beautiful Pacific Northwest to its new New England home.

Seating four and sleeping four is a breeze! There’s room for two on the raised 3-panel bed with sofa panel hinge. Below, a 2-panel bed nestles against opposing dinette benches with a hidden panel. When used, this panel creates a T-shaped horizontal sleep arrangement. The galley kitchen features an upgraded rectangular deep under mount sink with a countertop-mounted faucet and pull-down sprayer. In addition, there’s an induction cooktop, Vitrifigo DW180 RFX Stainless Steel Double Drawer, and an overhead microwave. There’s also plenty of storage space for pots, pans, and food.

Camping off-grid is easy with a 630Ah lithium-ion power system, a 2000W inverter, and a secondary alternator that charges these house batteries while the engine runs. Plus, there’s a 140W solar panel on the roof! The Espar diesel heating system provides hot water from the 19-gallon freshwater tank to the galley sink and rear exterior shower. The Webasto heater creates warm cabin air. With upgraded all-terrain tires and 17″ Black Rhino Warlord wheels, we’ve outfitted the rest of the suspension with an Agile Ride Improvement Package alongside Agile’s “No Rub” Front Tire Fender. The van’s rear is home to our utility ladder with Mac Track on each step. Next to the ladder, you’ll find Owl Vans Sherpa Cargo Carrier.
