Our Take: A really interesting project for someone to get the last bit over the line to finish up this 170” Dually 4×4. Electrical largely done, interior benches and cabinetry looks like it’s a good way along, partial build for a heater, etc. Frankly, if we could fit a 170” into our driveway, it would be hard to pass this one up!

Description from the seller:
- The floor has sound deadening, foam, and a polyurethane coated marine ply. The walls have sound deadening and thinsulate. There are a few spots that still need thinsulate, but I still have an unopened roll.
- The van is a cargo van, but has had windows from Van Windows Direct installed on the front two panels and the rear doors.
- The benches have been constructed with 80/20 and covered with oak ply
- Two table tops have been made out of solid Oak, one of which has been installed on a Laguna swivel table – the other is currently uninstalled
- A temporary version of the sink cabinet has been installed, with a Dometic fridge
- A propane tank has been installed on the underside of the van for a propane Truma heater (that has not been hooked up)
- The electronics have been installed, including the following:
- 2 x 200Ah 12V Victron Lithium Batteries
- 30A Orion Alternator Charger Kit
- Victron Multiplus Inverter
- 400W of Zamp Obsidian Solar Panels
- Victron and Blue Sea accessories for every other component
- The speaker system has been upgraded
- Helix V Twelve DSP
- Focal KX2 Mids and Tweeters (tweeters installed but not mounted)
- A RoamBuilt SafariRack 2.0 Curved has been installed with 5 Baja Design LP9 Pro lights – these lights turn night into day – it’s hard to overstate how bright they are, though they also have a low beam mode (that is still quite bright).
Additionally, the van comes with the following parts intended for install:
- Trionic 50 gallon water tank sized to fit inside of one of the bench compartments
- Five Baja Design LP9 (_not_ Pro) Lights
- Roambuilt Straight Side Ladder
- Truma Varioheat Propane Heater
- Second Laguna table hardware
Aside from finishing the project, there are also some issues that you will have to fix:
- I installed a mechanical sliding door, realized it was poorly made, and uninstalled it. There are a couple pieces of that hardware remaining that will need to be removed.
- The rear view mirror has been removed and will need to be replaced
- A couple plastic trim pieces are missing – I will keep looking for them, but there’s a chance that a piece or two will need to be ordered from Mercedes.
- The solar panels have been disconnected because I needed to move the wiring
