Matilda the Mountain Van

We built Matilda with the intention of only using her for personal use, but as we’ve explored Colorado and beyond with her it only seemed fitting that we share her with the rest of the world. Matilda is built for off-grid adventure with solar panels, battery bank, electric stove, refrigerator and freezer, tons of gear storage, and more. Here’s a little more about Matilda and what she has to offer: - 2019 Mercedes Sprinter 3500 XD, 170” wheelbase, dual rear wheels - Efficient 3.0 liter V6 Diesel engine gets ~22mpg highway and 18mpg combined when fully loaded - Queen size bed. Comes with all necessary pillows, bedding, and soft wool blanket. - Seating for four. Both front seats swivel. - Option to add-on a 4 person ground tent with sleeping pads and sleeping bags. - Both front seats swivel. -Marine style table between front and rear seat enables dining for four. You can store it away while driving to create more space. Our little one sleep in her pack’n’play in this space. - Ample DC and AC electricity provided by 200 watt solar array snd 200 amp hour battery bank - Dometic dual zone fridge/freezer to keep your food and beverages cool. This was a huge upgrade for us compared to our yeti coolers.

We also have covers for these to keep it dark at night and further insulate the van - Dual zone dimmable lighting - Tinted windows and curtains (designed by my wife) for added privacy - Kitchenette with beautiful black locust countertop, induction cooktop, skillet, chef’s knives, utensils, pots, plates, and more. - Electric tea kettle - Aeropress coffee maker, coffee grinder and coffee beans - Cooking basics: oil, salt and pepper - Wall mounted storage for all your kitchen supplies and snacks - 7 gallon freshwater tank - Two wash basins with sponges and dish soap - Camp chairs for your entire crew - Folding table for outdoor cooking and dining - Tons of storage under the bed for all your gear - Cloth towels and paper towels - Toilet paper Optional add-ons - Cassette toilet - Bike rack (up to 4 bikes) - Four person tent with sleeping pads and sleeping bags - Bike, canoe, kayak rentals $35-$150/day
