Adventure Ready

This 2017 Mercedes Sprinter 2500 was professionally built by Outpost Vans and designed to balance comfort, reliability, and simplicity on the road.

It’s been used for surf trips, mountain bike missions, cross-country travel, and remote work while living on the road. Every part of the build was designed with durability and real-world usability in mind.

Equally comfortable parked at the beach, deep in the mountains, or posted up off-grid in a national park for as long as your supplies last. The goal with this van was simple: build a rig capable of handling adventure without overcomplicating it.

And that’s exactly what it is.

VEHICLE PLATFORM

The 144" Sprinter platform strikes one of the best balances between interior space and drivability. It's long enough to comfortably build out a travel setup, but still compact enough to navigate cities, mountain roads, and tight trailheads. The proven OM642 V6 turbo diesel engine is known for durability, torque, and long service life when properly maintained.
