We’ve seen the whole “living in a van down by the river” thing come full circle from Chris Farley joke on SNL to something people actually aspire to. When it comes to the camper van you want to live in, you won’t find better than the options from Portland-based Outside Van. The passionate team of outdoorsy van people specialize in converting Mercedes-Benz Sprinter vans from durable cargo haulers into luxurious living spaces on wheels, like the Power Station you see here. What started as a capable 4×4 Mercedes-Benz 170 3500 Sprinter was outfitted with more than twenty grand in power equipment, ranging from rooftop solar panels and long-life extreme capacity high-output AGM batteries, to a Magnum inverter and an e-bike charging station. They also added a brand new laser cut shower with plenty of hot water from the Webasto heating system, a stainless fridge, bamboo cabinets, premium sound system, the list goes on and on. The Outside Van Power Station is essentially a modern, five-star hotel room on wheels.
