I helped a Westy owner friend "upgrade" to a custom built Sprinter. Total cost was just under $60k, including a low mileage 06 cargo sprinter (06 was the last year of the very fuel efficient engines). A lot of $$$, but a nice machine (and cheaper than some GoWesty Westies) This big rig gets 22-23MPG on Diesel. TONS of usable room compared to a Westy. it's a much larger vehicle, but easy to drive. You can see how we borrowed a lot of ideas from the VW Westy (kitchen on drivers side, rear seat bed etc). http://californiavan.com/sprintercamper/ Contact me via Pmail if you need more info... |
