Gualala (pronounced WAH-la-la), a small Northern California town, was named by the Native American Pomo tribe meaning “where the water flows down.” Our van was named Gualala the EcoSprinter after we had driven the van through this beautiful coastal town. The town’s free spirit, beautiful coast, and natural landscape are the inspiration behind Gualala the EcoSprinter!
Gualala the EcoSprinter has been lovingly built over two years. The owners made sure every little detail possible to ensure your comfort was included. And for those thinking about fuel efficiency on a long journey, the Mercedes-Benz Turbo diesel engine gets up to 22 miles per gallon!
This is a high roof van so you can stand upright (up to 6’1”) to cook dinner on the double-burner gas stove with built-in propane tank or the induction cook top. There’s a removable dinner table (walnut live-edge), a slide-out cooking platform for outdoors cooking, ample storage, lockable drawers, and even a bolted-down safe to store your valuables.
You’ll be able to enjoy a good night’s rest on the full-size futon bed. When the futon isn’t being used as a bed, use it as a couch for reading or lounging about. And to add to the fun factor, bring along your bikes (or rent them; we can make a bike rack available upon request).
The kitchen is fully stocked with everything you could possibly need to cook up a feast. You’ll find knives, forks, spoons, mugs, wine glasses, utensils, large, medium and small pots, large and medium skillets, salad bowl, colander, cutting board etc. There is also a high-efficiency Dometic fridge/freezer with a built-in ice maker - so that your perishables stay nice and cold, and you can enjoy that lovely sunset with a drink!
The EcoSprinter has a 20 gallon water tank with electric pump that feeds the faucet (removable wash basin) as well as an outdoor, heated shower (good for about 9 minutes of showering..). Yes, there is a heated shower; these are rare in most camper vans. You’ll probably want to take lots of showers! Note that the water can be refilled by a regular water hose.
To keep you warm at night, a high-efficiency heater provides heat (running off the main diesel tank at ~0.1 gallons/hour). In the summer a fan and screened window keep you cool.
Safety features include a backup camera and a gas & carbon monoxide alarm.
This cozy van truly has it all; now it just needs you! 😉
