2017 Mercedes Sprinter High Roof Boondocking Campe

This is our fifth Sprinter build conversion-rental, we call her "Mexicali Rose". The 2017 2wd Sprinter was purchased in the eastern US, and detoured by way of Baja California, Mexico, for few weeks before trekking home to Alaska up the Alcan in January. Now in the last phase of construction in our shop in Talkeetna, she will be renting spring 2024. This interior build is a duplicate of our 2022 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 that we have built especially for use in Alaska Boondocking. We are one of the most experienced builder-renters in the state, and love what we do. Lets us help you with planning a memorable Alaskan Journey.


Like our 2014 2wd, this van is super easy to drive and park. It's also built for anyone over 6ft tall with a true full size queen bed.

Anchorage van pickups at or close to the airport are easily arranged between 9am and 8pm. Most of the time we'll pick you up upon your arrival at Ted Stevens Airport or at a local hotel free of charge.

Please refer to our other three vans, "2022 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 High Roof""2021 Mercedes-Frieghtliner Sprinter 4x4 High Roof" and "2014 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter High Roof 144 2wd" for our extensive experience, rental history, and excellent reviews.

This van was constructed winter-spring of 2024. It is 2-Wheel-Drive (with traction control) and is 19 feet long.




The van is designed to be fully self-contained NOT needing electrical hookups, and features a 400-watt solar system that easily meets the needs of most summer trips. You'll charge the system from the sun and when the truck is in running.

This Mercedes Sprinter is meticulously maintained, and comes with an extensive road emergency kit. This 3.0L V-6 Turbodiesel truck is the gold standard of functionality and gets up to 18 mpg. It's a joy to drive on the Alaskan open road.
We've added a gps, backup camera-dash screen that will interface with your phone.
