Upstanding Van

2016 Sprinter 144 standard (low) roof, 4x4 in-progress conversion. Currently a bare-skinned tent on wheels. We still need to get it insulated, walled in, and our cabinetry installed. But while we build, we travel; and the rig's been tip-tip in Baja, up to British Columbia, and all the way to North Carolina on and off-road. It goes where I point him and doesn't say a word. All he ever asks for is more gogo juice - Diesel Only for this boy.

Hey guys. Michael "Punky" here. Former Navy Frogman, worldwide traveler, and north county San Diego dweller with my wife, Katie, and our 120lb Mastiff, Hank. Been an avid traveler since leaving high school and have traveled on both my feet, two wheels, and four wheels. I've owned Jeeps, Trucks with campers, and three vans (two Westfalias and this Sprinter), and way more motorcycles than I should admit. My wife and I use our vehicles to get us to some amazing destinations and have always built them out as backpacks/tents on wheels w/only the necessities. We rent out our BMW R1200RS moto on Twisted Road, and my Toyota Tundra DC 4x4 and Mercedes Sprinter 144 4x4 here when we're not using them. If interested, give us a shout. We want them to be used for what they are intended for and to help others to explore and get out there. Cheers from SOCAL!
