Thor Motorcoach presents the Sanctuary, a camper van built on the robust Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 2500 4×4 chassis, designed to bring all the comforts of home to your wilderness explorations. Marketed as an ideal option for newcomers to the RV lifestyle or those seeking a more compact recreational vehicle, the Sanctuary aims to redefine mobile living.
The Sanctuary is offered in two distinct floor plans to cater to different needs. The 19P model, priced at $148,680, features a rear bench that conveniently converts into a bed. Alternatively, the 19L layout, with a slightly higher MSRP of $151,060, provides a permanently fixed bed at the rear and repositions the seating area to the van’s center.

Each model also incorporates a wet bath, complete with a cassette toilet, sink, shower, and a Truma Combi water heating system, ensuring hot water and climate control on your journeys. A 72-liter freshwater tank provides ample water supply for extended trips.
Externally, the van is enhanced with a standard Thule power patio awning featuring integrated LED lighting, perfect for creating an outdoor living space. A Thule bike rack mounted on the rear door allows for easy transport of bicycles, and a ladder provides access to the roof rack, expanding storage and adventure gear capacity.
For onboard entertainment and connectivity, the Sanctuary is equipped with the Winegard Connect 2.0 system, integrating a WiFi extender, 4G hotspot, and a TV antenna. Additional amenities include a 24-inch television, a portable JBL Flip speaker, and seamless smartphone integration through Apple CarPlay and Android Auto.

Powering your off-grid adventures, the Sanctuary includes a 190-watt solar panel mounted on the roof. Standard power features consist of an Onan RV QG 2500 LP generator and a 1,000-watt inverter. For those seeking enhanced power capabilities, an optional upgrade is available, featuring a substantial 400 amp-hour lithium battery, a more powerful 3,000-watt inverter, and a 170-amp alternator, ensuring you are well-equipped for extended off-grid stays.
