Overview
Is the freedom and beauty of #vanlife calling to you? Yeah...us too! Stanley is a 2015 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter that has been custom designed and built (by us!) so that we could adventure comfortably as a family of three! It has been meticulously and thoughtfully created for the type of family that doesn't want to stop traveling when a new baby is in the mix, but may need a few more amenities now, and wants to travel in style!
Stanley is designed with water and electrical hook ups (no sewage hook ups), but is more-so designed for those that value being off-the-grid and enjoy dispersed camping/boondocking. This includes solar panels, an efficient 12v fridge/freezer, no propane that needs to be refilled, and a toilet that can be dumped in any bathroom or outhouse.
**NOTE** Stanley is currently under construction and is being rented in its current state.** Details listed below are already completed and usable.

SLEEPING
One Short Queen Bed (4 inches shorter than a standard queen)
One Crib-Sized Mattress (on the floor, with crib bars available upon request)

WATER
25 Gallon Fresh Water Tank

INTERIOR TOILET (Hidden!!)
Thetford Porta Potty (includes flushing, and can be dumped into any regular toilet)
The bathroom is hidden under the counter on the driver's side. The counter flips up and is on very strong hinges. Not the most private bathroom experience, but worth it to us to keep an open concept layout.
EXTERIOR SHOWER
There is an exterior shower hose which is great for rinsing off dirty feet
**NOTE** Please follow "LEAVE NO TRACE" principals and don't use soap/shampoo
KITCHEN
Two Burner Induction Stove
Dometic 12v Fridge and Freezer Combo
