The next chapter

Why we’re selling.

We purchased our Sprinter new in early 2022 and built it for weekend adventures and longer travels after retiring in 2023. It has taken us on some truly memorable trips, including a tour of the Pacific Northwest in 2025.

Family health needs are keeping us closer to home for the foreseeable future. With the Sprinter getting less use than we intended, we’ve decided it’s time for someone else to enjoy its next chapter.

We’ve loved building and traveling in this van—and perhaps another build will be in our future.

Travel photos show personal camping and bike equipment. The Kuat Pivot v3 and Thule T2 bike rack are excluded from the sale.
