The Sprinter is a commercial powerhouse and vanlife icon, and more recently the 4WD variant has become a popular platform for overlanding. It’s a desirable choice on our forum with recent adventure-ready examples including this 2017, a 2018, and a 2022. The first generation (or T1N) is considered by many as one of the very best and often the pick for around-the-world trips (this featured 1998 Mercedes Sprinter 312D 4×4 has spent 18 years globetrotting). Today’s 2001 Sprinter has covered just 116,484 miles and showcases tasteful modifications and a partially converted camper interior. In addition, at $30,000 CAD this vehicle represents great value and would be the perfect blank canvas to convert into a full-time rolling home. If you’d like a better idea of how this generation can be outfitted for travel then check out the inspiring builds showcased by Adventure Van Conversions and Tiny Home Tours.
