What is the best feature of the Sequoia + Salt Sprinter? The standout feature of this custom 170 AWD Sprinter is the innovative Lippert EuroLoft elevator bed, which allows the van to maintain a massive U-shaped lounge that seats six while still providing a full-sized sleeping area at the touch of a button. This layout is specifically designed to function as a "mobile hotel" for a tall family, featuring extra-long benches and high-end white oak finishes.

In this episode of New Jersey's Outdoor Adventures, Patrick Botticelli meets with Chris from Sequoia + Salt for an in-depth tour of their latest camper van build. This isn't just another RV life tour; it’s a masterclass in custom craftsmanship. From the Agile Rip Kit and Black Rhino Warlord wheels on the exterior to the 920Ah Victron lithium power system inside, every inch of this Mercedes Sprinter 170 is optimized for high-end travel.

We dive deep into the technical specs of this trailer tour alternative, including the Aqua-Hot 125D hydronic heating system, 400 watts of solar, and a Starlink Mini for off-grid connectivity. Whether you are interested in DIY camper van ideas or looking for a professional builder who can handle complex requests like electromagnetic wave shielding, Sequoia + Salt proves that a luxury van tour is about more than just aesthetics—it's about 800 hours of precision labor.

The primary value of a high-end custom build like this is contextual design. This van proves that "luxury" isn't just about expensive materials; it's about solving specific user problems—such as 6'7" occupants needing extra-long beds or a family needing a mobile base for sporting events rather than traditional camping. True craftsmanship is found in the 800 hours of labor spent on serviceable systems, mitered joinery, and specialized tech like magnetic wave shielding.
