Many of you have asked us this question recently! I know a lot of you are trying to decide whether getting a van is right for you and cost can play a big role, so we’re sharing what we spent and how we spent it.

First thing to know is that we did not go the budget route. We had the budget for some bells and whistles (like heated floors) and decided it was better to put those luxuries in now versus upgrade later.

The second thing to know is we do NOT live in it. It’s for weekends and road-trips when we aren’t at our house in Colorado.

🚐2019 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
Purchased very lightly used
Exterior modifications already complete
Empty interior
4x4, high-clearance

🛠 Build from Open Road Upfitters in Wisconsin
Queen sized memory foam bed that flips up into an inward or outward facing couch
Swivel front seats
Kitchen (sink, fridge, microwave, stove top)
Composting Toilet (basically a bucket with human cat litter in it)
Shower nozzle off the back
Heated floors
Propane heat
2 tables/desks (one slides out from under the bed, the other swivels out from on top of the toilet)
Plenty of cabinets and drawers
Solar panels on the roof

🤔 Was it worth the price?

Yes. We prioritize spending our money on experiences, and this van enables us to have some incredible experiences. I love the feeling of sleeping in the van, of being able to wake up at the trailhead, the freedom of being able to sleep wherever we can park, and that we can comfortably work, sleep, cook and hang out all in this one space. I love opening the back and side doors and enjoying the views from the comfort of our home on wheels. That said, it was pretty expensive and it’ll be a few years before I will feel like we got our money’s worth!

Have you ever thought about buying an adventure van?
