    SprinterWild 2015 Mercedes-Benz build and open road adventures!

    Too Much Stuff Having owned a Ford E-350 Sportsmobile van with a regular length body I knew in advance that I had way too much stuff for my van. At the dealership I took a few hours to move all of my stuff into the van and it looked like a caravan of folks abandoning stuff on the side of the...

    SprinterWild, a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4x4

    I didn't see the van build section and probably need to move my thread to the van build section. As soon as I hit 20 posts I'd like to do that and move the whole build sequence. Is is hard to move the thread?
