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.

Mercedes was set to sell version of Nissan Titan, now Infiniti might instead
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Mercedes-Benz Titan. Mercedes-Benz Frontier. Mercedes-Benz pickup truck. None of these things roll off the tongue particularly well. We'd like to think that's the reason Daimler opted to kill the idea of rebadged Titan and Frontier pickups from corporate ally Nissan. In reality, the execution before the Frankfurt Motor Show was due to more complicated issues.
Yes, Mercedes, byword for German luxury, style and quality, would have slapped a three-pointed star on a pair of Japanese pickup trucks that have failed to resonate with consumers in the world's largest truck market. That slapping of badges isn't much of an exaggeration, at least on the outside. According to the report from Road & Track, the truck's front clip would have been tweaked, but beyond that, the sheetmetal would have been unchanged. The interior would have received a more thorough going-over by the team at Mercedes, while the suspension and noise, vibration and harshness tuning would have also received significant attention.
The trucks would have ended up being sold through the light-commercial branch of Mercedes-Benz - the same folks that will happily sell you a Sprinter van - had the deal gone through. Issues arose, though, first with the engines. Mercedes wanted a wider range of powertrains to allow it to tune models for specific markets, while Nissan said it couldn't engineer the wide variety of engines that MB wanted to drop under the hood. For the smaller truck, meanwhile, MB was interested in a hybrid or plug-in variant, according to R&T, although this was also shot down by Nissan.
These are the 'Greenest' and 'Meanest' cars in 2015
Fri, Feb 6 2015As has become tradition, the American Council for an Energy-Efficient Economy (ACEEE) has come up with a ranking of what it refers to as the "greenest" cars of 2015, and, by way of contrast, a list of the so-called "meanest" cars, so those who value eco-friendliness over all else can choose which vehicles they should or should not consider buying. As you may expect, electric cars make up the majority of the greenest cars on the list, but, perhaps surprisingly to many, the Tesla Model S didn't make the cut. It's worth noting, too, that where the electricity an owner uses to charge their electric vehicle has a big impact on its overall environmental impact. "A car that is charged using electricity generated from natural gas or renewables is going to have significantly less impact on the environment than one charged on a coal-heavy grid," says ACEEE lead vehicle analyst Shruti Vaidyanathan. The ACEEE's list for 2015 looks very different than it did in 2014. It's an interesting collection, though – and we're sure this goes without saying, really – we'd recommend doing a bit more research into each vehicle and how it might fit into your daily life before making any purchase decisions.

The best Super Bowl car commercials from the last 5 years
Wed, Jan 28 2015If you've been dipping into the Autoblog feed over the past days and weeks, you wouldn't even have to be a sports fan to know the Super Bowl is coming up. Automakers have been teasing their spots for the big game, dropping them days early, fully-formed onto the Internet and otherwise trying to amp up the multi-million-dollar outlays that they've made for air time on the biggest advertising day of the year. And, we're into it. The lead up to the Super Bowl is almost akin to a mini auto show around these parts; with automakers being amongst the most prolific advertisers on these special Sundays. The crop of ads from 2015 looks as strong as ever, but we thought we'd take a quick look back at some of our favorite spots from the last five years. Take a look at our picks – created from a very informal polling of Autoblog editors and presented in no particular order – and then tell us about your recent faves, in Comments. Chrysler, Imported From Detroit Chrysler, Eminem and a lingering pan shot of "The Fist" – it doesn't get much more Motown than 2011's Imported From Detroit. With the weight of our staffers hailing from in and around The D, it's no wonder that our memories still favor this epic Super Bowl commercial (even though the car it was shilling was crap). Imported really set the tone for later Chrysler ads, too, repeated the formula: celebrity endorsement + dramatic copy + dash of jingoism = pulled car-guy heartstrings. Mercedes-Benz, Soul teaser with Kate Upton One of our favorite Super Bowl commercials (and yours, based on the insane number of views you logged) didn't even technically air during the game. Mercedes-Benz teased its eventual spot Soul with 90-seconds worth of Kate Upton threatening to do her best Joy Harmon impression. (Teaser indeed.) It doesn't win points for cleverness, use of music, acting, or any compelling carness, but it proved that Mercedes' advertisers knew how to make a splash in the Internet Age. And, hey, it's still classier than every GoDaddy commercial. Kia, A Dream Car. For Real Life Like the Mercedes video above, the initial draw here is a pretty lady; in this case the always stunning Adriana Lima. But this Kia commercial really delivers the extra effort we expect while scarfing crabby snacks and homemades, too. First of all, Motley Crue. Second, a cowboy on a bucking rhino. Enjoy yet again.
