2013 Pebble Gray Mercedes-Benz 144" High Top Sprinter Van
This van was professionally converted by Outsidevan. Every detail of this van has been carefully thought through
and expertly crafted. Outsidevan currently has a 1 year long queue for conversions ... this van is ready today.
It includes *everything* AND the kitchen sink (of course). Very little expense was spared. Starting with fully
insulating and paneling the walls with carbon look. The bed is arranged as a sideways sleeper with flares by
Flarespace. This allows for waaay more space in the van overall (I also have a third panel which allows for
conversion back to a full parallel sleeping arrangement).The layout of the van allows for a few different options
for travel. If you have some friends on the trip with you, you can keep the extra row two seater bench seat in the
van. If not, you can remove the 2 seater and allow some extra space for gear.
Some of the luxuries ...
The custom galley includes a sink, butane stove, and Isotherm DR65 fridge. The countertop is sustainable durable
paperstone. The Isotherm is the perfect balance of size, accessibility and power consumption. The fridge operates
both AC and DC and switches automatically. The sink is fed by an ultra efficient pump and a 15 gallon water tank
over the rear driver's side wheel well.
In addition to the galley drawers, there are matching upper cabinets to stow more gear and supplies for the road.
There's also a removable cabinet that sits to the left of the galley for even more storage on longer road trips.
There is a shower pan and shower attachment at the rear of the van for rinsing your body and rinsing your
bikes/boards etc.
The Espar D2 diesel heater keeps things toasty. It's fueled by the diesel van fuel tank and can easily keep the van
comfy on freezing nights.
There is an extensive power system. This includes a 100amp Zamp solar panel with charge controller ... along with
two 6V 220 amp hour batteries mounted under the chassis. The house batteries are charged while the van is in motion
and of course solar charged. Additionally, there is shore power which supports plugging the vehicle into a standard
15amp outlet. This allows for battery charging and powering accessories from AC power while plugged in.
The van includes a ARB compressor for inflating tires and kites or just cleaning the van of debris from being in
the country.
The dash is wrapped to give a refined carbon fiber appearance, matching the headliner and walls.
The driver and passenger seats are both air suspension seats. This is possibly one of the top 3 options on the van.
It allows for a way softer ride. This option is no longer available from the factory on new 144" vans. The
passenger seat is also on a swivel for seating while camped. The seats are black leatherette.
There is a full walkabout roof rack for extra gear or enjoying a cup of coffee at sunrise with a view.
The van comes with a Park Tools bicycle repair stand mounted on the inside of the rear door and also comes with a
Park Tools professional tire inflator for use with the compressor. Additionally there are two fork mounts on the
interior of the van for mounting bikes under the bed ...
There is a 8' Fiamma awning that can be quickly cranked out on hot days or provide cover on rainy days.
On the exterior, you've got a towing hitch (tows 5000lbs), ladder to access the roof, blacked out wheels/detailing
and tinted windows.
The Pebble Gray color is highly sought after. It's a very subtle gray and looks awesome contrasted with the blacked
out exterior details. Tires are a year old and brakes were just services. The van is in perfect shape ready for the
road. It has 58k miles, which is just a warmup for these vans.

Smart will go electric-only in United States and Canada
Tue, Feb 14 2017By 2018, the Smart car brand will be only known as an electric vehicle manufacturer in the US. According to Automotive News, sales of gasoline-powered Smart cars will cease later this year, and Daimler will develop the product portfolio into a solely electrified one. This coincides with the upcoming launch of the new generation Smart ForTwo electric drive models this summer. Automotive News claims to have obtained a letter from Mercedes-Benz USA CEO Dietmar Exler sent to US dealers. In it, he underlines the decision to go electric-only, saying "developments within the micro-car segment present some challenges for the current Smart product portfolio," and that the change will only affect North American sales. Production of US-destined gasoline-powered Smarts will cease in April, and sales will continue until stock runs out. The current generation has been on sale from 2015, and it hasn't reached the 2014 sales peak of 10.453 units of the previous generation; last year, there were little more than 6.200 Smarts sold in the States. The first electric drive Smarts were unveiled a decade ago, but they became available in the USA five years later, initially via various trial programs, including Car2Go fleets. Related Video:
New details emerge on forthcoming Mercedes-Benz SLC
Sat, 02 Feb 2013Last we heard, the Mercedes-Benz SLC had been put on indefinite hold, but now Car Magazine is reporting that the Porsche 911-fighting "Baby SLS" coupe could be on sale by 2015. Riding on a modified SLS AMG chassis, the smaller and lighter SLC could be priced in the sub-$100,000 price bracket.
We'd already heard that the new car would feature conventional doors (instead of SLS-like gullwing doors), but this report focuses on some of the possible powertrains Mercedes-Benz is likely to use. At launch, the SLC could offer a pair of V8-powered models - a 485-horsepower SLC and a 585-hp SLC S - both being powered by a 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8. About a year after launch, a new V6 model could emerge giving the SLC an estimated 333 horsepower and its lowest price point.
It also sounds like the car's name hasn't been completely finalized as some people within Mercedes are favoring a return of the SLR name.
Top horsepower-per-dollar cars in 2017
Tue, Feb 17 2015Bang for the buck. That quasi-scientific statistic is bandied about by motor heads everywhere from classrooms to barrooms, though the truth of the matter is that it's exceedingly complex to measure. A fair performance-per-dollar index would include something like cross-referencing MSRP (Manufacturers Suggested Retail Price) with point-to-point times on a track or driving route, which is obviously hard to do comprehensively. But, for the sheer joy of talking about cars and playing with a big spreadsheet, there's always the horsepower-per-dollar index, which is more straightforward, albeit hilariously flawed. There are vagaries even with this simple formula, of course: MSRP for vehicles can change at a moment's notice, to say nothing of the bottom-line shifting that happens with local deals or showroom negotiation. For this list we're running with the straight MSRP wherever possible, and as recently reported as we can get it. All the vehicles on this list are 2017 models, and all trims are reported where the lowest price and differing power levels intersect. Some choices were made for personal preference and some for sanity, avoiding things like all 48 trim levels of the Ford Transit, all with the same horsepower). If this list were a simple top ten, or even a top fifty, you'd be bored to tears with all the red, white and blue that is represented. Following perfectly with conventional wisdom, American cars really do lead the world where hp/$ is concerned. So, for the sake of variety (and the sheer joy of seeing a minivan 'win' one round of this thing) I've sorted out some top five and bottom five lists for broad power categories. Let's dive in. Less Than 100 Horsepower Okay, okay, this is hardly a category we'll grant you. But we've often tried to click off all the sub-100-hp cars on sale in the US, and making this list gave us an excuse. It also illustrates that none of these smallish vehicles bring cheap horsepower to the table - for that you'll need a motorcycle. The segment-leading Chevy Spark (above) asks just over $139 for each hp, and that Smart Fortwo Electric Drive has hp on sale for about the same price as its very distant family cousin, the Mercedes-Benz SL65 AMG (insert your favorite Smart joke here... we know you want to).
