For sale is a very rare 2003 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 316 T1N 4x4, cab and chassis with a 118" wheelbase and aluminum ambulance box camper conversion. $44700.00
This is not a typical lifted or converted 2WD Sprinter. It is a factory Oberaigner 4x4 with the ZG2 transfer case, center locking differential, and rear locking differential. It also has the Sprintshift transmission and no EGR system.
The van has approximately 198,000 miles, but the OM612 engine was rebuilt about 12,000 miles ago. A huge amount of mechanical work has been done since, making this one of the more sorted and well-documented T1N 4x4s you are likely to find.
This is also a 118" wheelbase van, the shortest T1N Sprinter wheelbase offered, making it one of the most maneuverable and tightest-turning Sprinter configurations available.
The aluminum box makes a great camper platform. It has a practical conversion already in place with cabinetry, solar, diesel heat, shore power, inverter, fridge, stove, sink, skylight, vent fan, rear heat, rear AC. It is ready to use as-is, while still leaving room for the next owner to personalize it.
