Tour a luxury Sprinter 170 Extended that was exquisitely designed. This van has almost every high-end option available. And, while most people can’t or don’t want to invest quite this much in their van, if you want to see all the high-end options all in one place, so you can pick and choose what you would like to incorporate into your build, check this van out.

This video was filmed in August, 2022 at Descend on Bend. There is a lot of happy background noise in the outdoor scenes. Turn on Closed Captions if you have trouble hearing these sections.

Here at TheGalavan I feature vans, primarily designed and built by women (but sometimes by very talented men 😉), to give you inspiration for your own van build. I’m always on the lookout for other van life enthusiasts who want to collaborate and share their love of this lifestyle. I also love to cook from scratch in my van and share accessories, tips, and tricks to make van life easier and more successful for you.
