Crafted in Hood River, Oregon by a professional conversion shop with deep roots in PNW outdoor culture. This is a 2026 conversion on an undriven 2024 Mercedes Sprinter 170 AWD. The chassis is unused, and everything inside is brand new. Seats 4, sleeps 4, and ready for any landscape calling your name.

The Jade is The Vanlife Collective's premier extended-length build designed for families, full-time vanlifers, and anyone who refuses to put a timeline on their trip. Financing is now available through Oregon local Consolidated Community Credit Union. Jade vans are pre-approved, 30% down, loans up to 15 years.

This upfit is designed for extra comfort and extended use. The Elevation Station 2.0 raising bed gives you a full living space during the day and a short queen bed at night. A second 44x72 booth bed sleeps two more, and it primarily functions as a spacious 4-person dinette. The power setup 400Ah LiFePO4, Victron Multiplus 2000W inverter, 400W solar, 100A alternator charger, shore power is spec'd for extended off-grid use. Velit diesel heat keeps you comfortable year-round, and a fold-away Friedman Seat provides two additional seatbelted positions for a total of 4.

The Jade is pre-wired for A/C and pre-configured for expanded power, water, and storage. Road-ready from day one, but every system is designed for expansion. You're buying a platform you can customize at your pace and as your adventure-tastes evolve.
