Noel Farrell completed self conversion of a pre-owned 2012 Mercedes’ Sprinter van in 2 months

2012 Mercedes Sprinter Luton conversion almost finished after 2 months of hard work, but it was worth the efforts. 

I bought it a few months ago in early 2022. I'm told that the van was used for transporting movie sets by its earlier owners.

Richard Hoyles completed self conversion of a 2015 Mercedes’ Sprinter van

Here's my 2015 Mercedes’ Sprinter van in mid August 2022 during the couple of nights I spent living in it during a trip to Arundel, a market town and civil parish in the Arun District of South Downs, West Sussex, England. 

The van has already clocked 210,000 miles on the odometer. I have done the entire build myself spread over 3 years as and when time and finances permitted, after acquiring it from its previous owner in early 2019. 

I am using a portable camping toilet at the moment. Note the toilet under under installation in the centre cupboard. It will end up on a pull out tray as such. The shower will be on one of the back doors, and will have a screen to put around whilst having a shower. 

There's still a lot more of work to do on it. 

I can see it steadily getting to the finishing line.
