Diesel

This is a Dodge sprinter diesel van that I converted myself into a camper van RV. It has 42K on a rebuilt engine. Engine and tranny work fine, but does not run because the rear differential has gone out. In 2006, I replaced the rear differential for just over 2k at a dealership. It is was built by Mercedes and sold by Dodge so basically the entire vehicle is a Mercedes built vehicle. The engine is a 5 cylinder diesel. As for camping accessories, it has running water and sink with a 20 gallon water tank, a 3-burner range with a small oven, a Dometic fridge with freezer and a Westfalia fold out bed (bed came out of an old VW camper). There is a 20lb propane tank holder on the back door, but the propane hoses and connections have been removed since I do not want to sell it with my DIY propane set up. There are two 6 volt golf cart batteries for a second battery system and it is wired to charge off the alternator with a relay. Also comes with an inverter. The passenger seat has a plate that allows it to spin around. Also has a vent in the roof. Plenty of storage and nicely done interior with lots of wood paneling. It is insulated throughout. It could use a few touch ups on the interior, but it is mostly in great shape. Also could use side windows which I never got around to putting in. Engine runs fine, but has a little less power than it did before the rebuilt engine was put in, perhaps 20% less power on hills. But it drives like it always did around town. I have replaced the turbo, EGR valve and harmonic balancer in the last year. The diesel injection pump was replaced in 2010. Gas mileage is great for such a large vehicle and averages around 22 MPG on the highway. Michelin tires have less than 8k on them. There is some cosmetic paint damage at the rear wheel well and a few paint chips in the paint on the front hood area. The front bumper is a little loose. For someone who wants to replace the differential, this is a great camper van.
