If you ask me, the Vito Marco Polo is a far more interesting vehicle; the culmination of Westfalia and VW (Eurovan) engineering. The sprinter wouldn't fit in my garage, and is (although larger) a more cumbersome daily driver. The Marco Polo is more in line with our typical Westfalia Vanagons (IMHO). http://www.mercedes-benz.com/e/rv/marcopolo/default.htm Pax-- G. Matthew Bulley Mount Olive, NC

Music to my ears. So the conversion will be done by our pals, Westy co. The short blirp (publishing term) can be seen here: http://www.mercedes-benz.com/e/rv/jamescook/ with links to the PDF brochure (thirty-plus pages) and other information..... This looks like a cool van.... Reid |
