I saw a Sprinter adventure van for the first time at OuterBike in Moab, and immediately recognized it as the ideal alternative to living out of a Dodge minivan. I retired as an IT exec at an investment firm at 56 and had conjured up the crazy idea that I could ride all the epic mountain-biking trails in the West in a single summer. A foolish notion, I know, but it did lead me to Moab, and my first encounter with a Sprinter van.
Connie and I had met prior to my trip, and upon my return to Virginia, she joined me from her home in New Jersey. The next day, we purchased a 2012 two-wheel drive 144” Sprinter 2500 van. I built it out (I am a former boatbuilder from before my IT days, so vans were easy) as a mobile mountain bike garage with sleeping quarters, and it served this purpose admirably.
