Gypsy is a 2016 Mercedes Benz Sprinter 2500 170WB 4cyl diesel, she is wrapped in windows for full panoramic viewing and easy driving, which is exceedingly rare. If you are out in the great outdoors it should feel like it. Amazing fuel economy at 22-24MPG and drives like a charm. There is a super comfy memory
foam queen bed, the front dinette can convert into a twin like bed and there is a blowup bed if requested for the front cab. And when you grow weary of camping, the rear bed can also be replaced by a beautiful large walnut dinette table for lux tailgating, family game time or fine dining out, which increases the seating up to 5 total
(with seatbelts).
Full insulation including magnetic window and vent coverings along with a 13,500 BTU AC (shore power only) and diesel powered Espar forced air heater make this an easy 3 season camper (4 if you don’t have to drive in snow!). The Fantastic overhead vent fan is great for air circulation and pulls a nice breeze through the bedroom slider windows. The “house” AGM 448 amp hour battery system with 2000W pure sine inverter is charged seamlessly either by driving (the van alternator), 200W roof mounted solar panels, or
110v shore power. This can allow you to live off the grid for short periods of time, or nearly indefinitely if you use the 110v appliances sparingly and have full sun, or drive a
bit every couple of days. The control panel is centrally located along with all of the system controls to easily monitor charging/battery status. There is plenty of overhead dimmable LED lighting, along with strategically placed LED task lighting fixtures. USB and 110v outlets to charge all your devices and make your AM coffee and toast are conveniently place throughout.
The larger than average kitchen is clean and efficient with a Dometic two burner propane stove served by a 3.3 gallon under body tank, built in microwave, stainless deep body sink/pullout faucet,
low power draw 3.8 cu ft AC/DC Dometic fridge/freezer, and custom home quality solid Walnut counter/cabinets. The water is supplied seamlessly by either shore hookup or the 22 gallon fresh tank and heated by the Espar system on demand. Hot showers can
be had off the tailgate and there is a brand new 12 gallon gray water tank.
Although she is plush, Gypsy has plenty room to store lots of gear (we manage quivers of windsurfing equipment which is long and bulky or surfboards) both at floor level and in the many
overhead walnut cabinets. There is a trailer hitch for your bike rack or other toys.What's included• Dish soap
