The wallowon Sprinter is due to its torsion bar suspension, the Ducatos etc have leaf springs, Its a common complaint of the Merc chassis that they sway a lot!

My Sprinter has leaf springs?

I much prefer the merc MWB, 5.93 metres, perfect size for travelling around.

Wallowing Sprinters! My 316cdi is steady as a rock we took friends out for the day and the daughter left the water Jug on the work surface after a 40mile return to base it was !!still there and Who left that out of the cupboard!!! it must be the way people drive them. I'm a saint!!! The Mercedes mechanicals are far superior to Fiat (personal experience)

Here is my peugeot boxer Lwb self build with transverse bed and bathroom works out well for touring Europe & UK
Loads of room all space utilised.

It is quite possible to travel with dogs in a small van, we have a 5.4m van conversion on a Ducato base and are 2 adults and 2 dogs (Schnoodle - medium sized, all arms and legs; and a Border Terrier). I'm 6ft and our transverse bed is the right length for me. Our van has everything in it including the usual wet room, I'd suggest looking at a 6m van, long enough to give decent living space but small enough to drive around and park up - there will always be car parks where you find it more difficult to park, we can't always park our van but there are also plenty of others in which there is no problem.

Btw older sprinters and crafter's tend to rust. Not so sure about new ones or when they get better.


Engines are generally good. Perhaps better than fiat etc ...

Narrower of course.

Cheers James

Correct
Didn't Mercedes only start galvanising their body shells in the not too distant past?
