If you are gonna fling poo at Cole, at least be factually correct.


Haha!......glad someone's been payin' attention!!:victory:


Edit: Since I spent the last two days donating time moving a disabled elderly guy from one apartment to another with my sprinter! I figured I'd make a few of these tonight!:drool:.........and then maybe I'll go post some more on the Samba :coffeedrink:

.....picture of the Sprinter all loaded up in an apartment loading dock today. You can drive these things nearly anywhere and nobody questions you. :sombrero: we had to drive up and down the pedestrian mall here (16th street in Denver) to access stuff. Just sayin', for the content of the thread......people ignore things like the Sprinter, might not get away with this in something that looks like a camper!

I wish we got passenger Sprinters in the US. That would pretty much settle it for most people (I bet)

When I was shopping for my Sprinter I came across a few passenger Sprinters. They usually cost a few thousand more than a similar cargo Sprinter. I wish I'd of found a deal on one. Having the rear heat /AC plus interior panels would have been a nicer starting point.

Huh.

Every Sprinter I seemed to find out here was cargo only. I would love a SWB Sprinter passenger. I actually gave up looking for Sprinters and just figured it did not exist. On the plus side I don't need to buy another vehicle right now so I can take my time and find the right one.

Edit: Cole, FWIW there is no way I could ignore your Sprinter IRL. Push bar, 8in lights and AT tires with a red paint job? Not subtle (to me at least) :)

Yeah, just saying that it still looks like you're there to deliver something:coffeedrink:

The big bump on the roof for the rear a/c + heater is a no go for me - wouldn't last with the trees and such around... I do see one up here at the MT BAKER ski parking lot a couple of times where the plastic cover was replaced with aluminum and a horizontally mounted propane tank was tucked in behind it to power a propane heater for camping... looked like a nice setup.

Well, I sure hope the OP (no sexist id's here) finds the rig for them (also not sexist) and they are happy. :)

My understanding is the first generation Sprinter passenger vans had rear aux A/C only, no heat component. Easy enough to add an aux heater under a seat, but not factory.

I like windows, I think they are easier to cover with cloth or tinting on the inside, compared to cutting holes in the van.

My ideal is sprinter 140" passenger, remove the second row 2 seat, and move the rear 3 seat up in that position. Seating for 8 and a bunch of room for bicycle and stuff.
