Mercedes Sprinter 311 CDI LWB
Located in Bradford, West Yorkshire.
We bought the van at the end of 2020 and have spent the best part of 18 months converting it into a little home on wheels (if you’d like to see the journey, you can find us on Instagram at @samandsophh). We are selling as we now live overseas.
The van is a perfect home on wheels, a companion for van dwellers, explorers or people seeking a little piece of that #vanlife. Also perfect for holidays or rental businesses, a van of this type will rent for £150 a night in peak season. It is 2+ 1 berth, so perfect for couples, a young family or a solo nomad wanting that additional space.
The van is fully equipped and suitable for camping holidays or sports activities! The van has a roof rack and viewing deck that also houses the solar panel – ideal for those starry nights or a place to hold sporting equipment.

The cab is well equipped with Bluetooth telephone connectivity, a reversing camera and electric windows. It also has a USB and power sockets which can be used to full advantage when plugged into mains.

In addition to the two gas hobs inside, there is also an oven.

We did not install an awning or stickers to put on the van for it to be considered a motor home. Everything else is in place.
