This recently converted van located in Southeast Austin is chock full of goodies. SO many that I've detailed them further below.
I will post better photos soon. The van was converted just two months ago, and I've spent that time doing some final improvements of my own (new kitchen plumbing, adding a small toaster oven, adding reading lights, etc.). So the photos show some of that work in progress. Once I get the new seat cushions next week (last week of January), I will take new photos of everything. But getting the listing going in the mean time!
The van itself is a 2012 Mercedes, so it's got some miles on it, but has I've put 20,000 miles in over just six months and she's been great overall.

Recommendations
I've taken this thing all over the western U.S. in the past six months. California, Oregon, Washington, Montana, Wyoming, South Dakota, Kansas, Colorado, Oklahoma, Arizona, Nevada, New Mexico, in both hot and cold weather. So, it's a pretty capable vehicle.
Other things to note
I'll provide more detailed do's and don'ts and tips I've learned from practice, such as: - Driving tips, since you've got a lot of weight behind you - Wifi password and data usage details, climate control tips, etc. - Some vehicle quirks/dashboard lights that that come on for no apparent reason or effect on vehicle function, which I'm troubleshooting - Tips for things that could come up in your travels, like refilling DEF fluid, where different things can be found

The van was great! We loved taking it out to Arizona and back. Evan was super communicative and walked us through everything we needed to have a successful trip!

This was the PERFECT rental van ever! Evan has packed it both with necessities and things you didn’t know you need but definitely help your trip run as smoothly as possible. We love that it’s dog-friendly and let us bring our three dogs on the adventure of a lifetime. We can’t wait to rent again!

We had a great trip in Evan's Sprinter! Started in Austin, headed to New Mexico, then Arizona and then all the way south to Big Bend National Park to avoid a snow storm! The van was great, and exactly as described in the listing. Evan was terrific and easy to deal with.
