This Mercedes Benz Sprinter 4x4 camper van is an impressive piece of kit although it does come at a price. It is ready for some serious off roading. At Caravan Salon Dusseldorf 2017, it is the Marco Polo that takes pride of place but I am sure that all of us hard core campers would prefer this model to anything else!
I live in a motorhome full time and travel around Europe in it. I spend most of my time in Poland, Germany and Italy. Vanlife is my life.
In my RU-vid channel, I present reviews of recreational vehicles. Here you will find campervans and motorhomes from the cheapest camper vans to the most expensive luxury liners, from various companies including Hobby, Hymer, Carthago, Westfalia, Wingamm, Clever Vans, Pössl, Bürstner, Niesmann Bischoff, Action Mobil, Reisemobil Manufaktur, Robeta, Trigano, Challenger, EuraMobil, Laika, Forster, Mobilvetta Design, Affinity, Globe Traveller, Benimar, Roller Team, Adria, Tourne, Megamobil, VW, Mercedes, CS, Renault, Ford, Fiat, Carado, Sunlight, Baileys, Chausson, Balcamp, Knaus, Weinsberg and others.
I cover equipment, including 12v electrical equipment and talk a lot about lithium batteries.
I also show some of the places I have visited in Europe in my own motorhome, as well as the places you can stay at! I try to give as much coverage as I can to official campsites and free places which I use for overnighting. Therefore you can find here the aire or stellplatz that you are possibly looking for.

Other western countries seem to have much better designed and styled camper vans than we have in the US. Its a shame we are forced to buy the shlock they peddle here while Europeans get their pick of such beautiful coaches. (SMH...) Nice video, thanks!

You can't buy a Sprinter 4x4 RV in California? Since when? Lots of companies make them, and much more practical and space efficient than this one. Check out Winnebago Revel, Action Van or Sportsmobile for a start.

a big missed opportunity is an option without any skyights and the whole roof covered in one single expanse of PV cells, with the cooker being a pair of high performance ceramic hobs. not just more sustainable, but also much more off grid...
@VanlifewithAlan
@VanlifewithAlan 6 лет назад
Guy, I am curently doing a major refurbishment of my own van with almost everything being turned into electronics. The question we have to ask is whether the PVs would supply the power (in this case a maximum of around eight square metres) and could the cost be justified - around an extra EUR15k at least for the PVs plus batteries?
@magnoliabranca5149
@magnoliabranca5149 5 лет назад
Guy Cruls we are used to use these stoves here in Europe I personally HATE induction stoves as most people here who love to cook. I agree about the skyight

A fixed bed in a campervan is a total waste of space if your not in bed! Your only in bed a third of each 24 hour period so make it foldaway to use the space for something else during the day more useful.Price is ridiculous too.My Merc campervan self build only cost ten times cheaper and I wouldn't swap it for that carp.
