Mercedes-Benz Westfalia, ultimate travel van!

Description

*Please note this vehicle is not available immediately, this add is created to find a new owner for the van once I leave the country. I expect to be leaving North America in approximately 2-3 weeks. This is not a Volkswagen vanagon!

What am I selling? A Mercedes Benz 310D Westfalia, one of the most reliable old school campervans ever made.

I bought this Mercedes to turn it into my house on wheels for my travels through N-A. It took me over a year to find one in decent shape with the 5-cylinder engine and clean interior. After buying the van I spent over 6 months (starting November 2017) rebuilding the van to a as new condition. List of things done to the van (I am sure I forgot some):

- Rust free

- New insulation

- New wiring

- New professional paint-job

- New flooring

- Newly upholstered interior

- New mattress (extended and foldable)

- New propane gages

- Customs set of beaded car seat covers (old school seat ventilation)

- Custom Oak tables

- New insulation and sound absorption in the cabin.

- Custom ladder and spare wheel holder on the back.

- It’s all in the details, I even replaced all outside screws with stainless-steel screws

- Sand blasted and powder coated rims, these are very rare 15inch original T1 sprinter rims.

- 180W 28" CREE LEDBAR, 12000 lumen

- Had a Bear-lock placed. This locks up the gearbox, protection against theft.

- 5 Michelin extra strong van tires with just +/-8000 miles on them

Before I shipped the van to N-A I had it fully checked by a Mercedes specialist, he replaced every part that would need to be replaced within the next 30k miles. A list of the technical work done in early 2018:

-Gearbox revision

-New radiator

-New brake pads

-Brake lines

-Oil refresh

-Dynamo reserviced

-Will add more detail asap.

Please be advised that there are a number of different engine types on the market, this engine is the most powerful 5-cylinder Mercedes engine with 100hp. This van will take you up any mountain and cruise on the freeway comfortably at 65mph. Driving through lots of different terrains I get an average of 29 miles per gallon. It also has the overdrive manual gearbox, cruise control, abs and power steering. And last but definitely not least it has a diff lock on the rear axle which will get you a long long way up some of the toughest roads.

If you are reading this, you have probably taken the time to read through all the above and are seriously interested in this van. It has always been a dream to own one of these vans and I have put a lot of love and care into making it the best van possible.
