No Excuses

“(Latin) Audaces fortuna iuvat.  Fortune favors the bold.” -Virgil

An active family of four and their adorable dog, Riot, have no excuse when making this van their home away from home! Trips to the Oregon coast are the beginning of many adventures for this 2021 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 144.

Only found in this build is a Double Bellagio Foldaway Bus Seat. While offering DOT-approved seating two, it also folds up and against the driver wall for maximum interior space when parked. A raised 2-panel bed system creates west-to-east sleeping with the addition of flares. Below, two additional panels create a functional sleeping space. Thanks to a freshwater tank and Espar diesel heating system, the interior galley sink and exterior shower always have access to hot or cold water. With a passenger-side galley, a fold-down table can be used in the doorway for easy outdoor entertaining. Grabbing snacks and drinks from the Isotherm refrigerator in the slider means nobody must take their shoes off to go inside.

There’s no excuse to leave the backcountry early for power; this van boasts a massive 945Ah lithium-ion power system paired with a 2000W Magnum inverter with an ion gauge and a secondary alternator charges these house batteries while the engine’s running. There’s a 140W solar panel on the roof for a little more trickle charge. Additionally, on the top, gear, and nonessentials while traveling can be stored in Packasport’s Trailblazer cargo box. When settled at basecamp, quickly deploy the 10′ Fiamma awning and roll down the slider door bug screen for maximum ventilation and no pests. Handle diverse trails safely and comfortably with Agile’s Off-Road Ride Improvement Package suspension kit and “No Rub” front tire fender.
