Hi folks,

My neighbor has a fairly new Sprinter with Winnebago conversion.

It is a nice truck.  4 wheel drive and full of nice features. 

I liked two things the most about it.  It is new so very reliable, and it has a small shower and toilet.  Third I did like the awning as it will automatically retract if wind comes up. 

But, That’s it.  I feel like the space is so much more than a vanagon yet, it does less. Or certainly no more.  In fact it sleeps three adults if you try hard, I have slept 4 just fine. 

        He said it drives best about 55 miles an hour to 65 but not that fun to drive.  70 is a real challenge. 

He was also not happy with the conversion materials quality.  And he said a rattly noisy ride. 

Give me a reliable Vanagon and I’ll deal without the shower and toilet. 

        We have an amazing ride if we can just keep them happily going down the road!
