It’s been a year (or more) since most of us have traveled, for obvious reasons, and the itch to get out on the open road is hitting harder than ever before. Waking up and throwing open the doors of a custom camper van to take in Rocky Mountain vistas or Yosemite’s great climbing walls seems like exactly what we all need after a year indoors.
Of course, that is an incredibly romantic view of van life. In all honesty, most people love hot showers, regular toilets and sitting on their porch too much to put big bucks into upgrading a Sprinter or Econoline. But there’s a way to have an amazing van life without the amazing budget, because Omaze is giving a van away.
Win a Sprinter Van with an Eco-friendly $80,000 Vansmith Conversion – Enter at Omaze
Take one look at this Mercedes Sprinter 4×4 camper van conversion and you know that it is special. Complete with an $80,000 conversion from Vansmith, it features a 3.0L V6 turbodiesel that puts out 325 pound-feet of torque and has a towing capacity of 5,000 pounds. It also has a 210-watt solar power system so you don’t have to worry about where you’ll charge your iPhone or drone at night, a Mazzair roof fan, an 85-liter fridge, a 5-foot-long kitchen, full-sized bed and an LED lighting system. Finally, Vansmith includes its Green Package, which, according to Omaze, comes with “wool insulation, blue-stained pine ceiling, bamboo countertop, carbon offset package with 72,000 lbs of carbon offsets,” and a green logo.
The rest you can customize yourself to fit your lifestyle. Choose from a rear-mounted bike rack, upgraded suspension for tooling around Moab (or wherever you like to roam), throw some all-terrain rubber on there… the options are nearly endless, and it adds up to an awesome camper van worth $142,000.
You’re probably asking yourself, what does it take to win? First of all, according to Omaze, “no donation or payment is necessary to enter or win this sweepstakes.” $10 will get you 100 entries, while $50 will get you 1,000 entries and $100 will get you 2,000 entries.
The donations themselves benefit The Honnold Foundation, which Omaze says, “promotes solar energy for a more equitable world. They believe in solar as a proven, environmentally sound solution to global energy poverty, and award grants to organizations whose projects are innovative, equity-focused and have the potential to shift the narrative on what’s possible for energy access worldwide.”
