Darren from Odyssey Camper recounts his 6,000-mile journey in a Mercedes Benz Sprinter cargo van, offering insights for those considering a similar vehicle for RV conversion. He details both advantages like fuel economy, power, spaciousness, and handling and disadvantages such as turbo lag, difficult entry/exit, parking challenges, and a poorly designed backup camera. The author also discusses specific maintenance considerations and unique driving experiences compared to a personal vehicle like a Honda Odyssey, ultimately concluding that while the Sprinter has strengths, it's not a good replacement for his minivan. The blog post serves as a practical, firsthand review for potential van builders, highlighting unexpected aspects of driving a large cargo van.
