That's a good truck 👍
That’s cool AF. Looking forward to seeing the build!
Very much looking forward to this conversion Rich, you look well happy!
1001 camper versions on thé web, and I’ve seen many of them. The key is to watch as many of them yourself so you can plan your layout and get the best out of the space. Good luck with it, it ain’t no Land River 😂😂
Would a transit AWD have been a better choice? Merc spare and servicing are pricey.
Looking forward to seeing this concept progress 👍🏻
Look forward to the build! Stay safe Rich atb 👍🦊
Looks like a new van. Well chuffed for you bud.
I look forward to watching your journey with the Sprinter mate - Thanks for being willing to share it with us!
You've come over to the van side... welcome 🤣
Hope you're doing well x
That’s going to be good 👍 looking forward to following it
Nice one Rich will be following with much interest to see you going further can't wait to see what you get up to.
Catch you on next one.
Underseal / waxoil underneath / ceramic coat the bodywork, whatever brand you use protect it! They rot like mad.
Great project Rich, looking forward to watching it progress.
Well done Rich, good choice. Looking forward to your modifications to the vehicle.
Nice one Rich. I have the T1N 4x4 MWB high roof with separate shower and toilet, as you say, essential. Kitchen half in the door and full size double bed but down the van not across which turns into two bench seats with table, we can seat 6 at a push. We love it and it has got us to some fantastic camp spots over the years. Look forward to watching the build.
Love it mate, be good to see this transform for sure 🤙
Really looking forward to this. I reckon this will turn out great.
Looks and sounds great. Have a look at Muddy Campers. They convert sprinter vans. Use flair sides and hydraulic double beds that lift up to the roof leaving a dining area below.
Love it mate! Land Rovers are great but we do have to find equipment that fits our lives. I look forward to seeing this progress!
Great video mate can’t wait to see this build
Nice looking project!
That's great fuel mileage for that large of a vehicle. Looking forward to seeing what you do. God bless and stay safe.
Good to see , good to follow👍👍
Differet name , or star , in the front on the grill , so what ?
It`s about going out and have good times👍👍😃
And I have driven LR-products since 1984😂
Coolness. I have been looking at a SWB High Roof Transit for an Overland build. I look forward to watching the build, and hopefully I can get some ideas from yours.
this should be interesting to see how you transform the sprinter and maybe watch you offloading it. 👍👍
Nice Rich I think it’s a good move, as lovely as the land Rovers are off-road, the 80% of time when you are on the road, this will be an absolute dream compared to the Landy and far more reliable! 👍
cant wait mate
Ohhh interested. Been looking that these lately
That's the bee's knees!
Thanks
Great video mate looks like a cool bit of kit can’t w8 for the build
Were those fuel economy stats based on fully laden? Small engines are great when you aren’t heavy but are much more susceptible to heavy loads. I had my HGV swapped for a supposedly more fuel efficient smaller engined version because it was cheaper and that’s all fleet managers care about, but my fuel usage went through the roof because my regular run was always fully laden and the smaller more fuel efficient engine just couldn’t cope with the weight. Ultimately it probably won’t affect you that much and I’m in no way trying to say you bought the wrong engine, but it may be worth keeping an eye on your weight as you build the van.
you got one :D fantastic dude :D
I love these vans!
They are pretty popular here in Canada 🇨🇦
A little out of my price range….
But I keep my eyes open for a deal
Cheers
I think the vans thar come gtom.the factory with the 4x4 button plus the low range but .... when specified with oem low range its quite likely your hold a slightly larger range fuilt tank that a standard sprinter of a sprinter with just 4x4. Useful to know of your planing on installing la fuel tank protection plates.
Thanks. I’m aware of the tank on my van.
I'd lose the safety step on the ass end before you bend the rear chassis arms and get grounded
Was the van owned by Vesta's who build and main wind turbines
I'd suggest the Ecoflow power system (like Gadget John, and Liam the terrible), great looking van with plenty of scope
Looking forward to this.
Have you thought about solar on the pop top.
Recently done exactly the same, love my land rover camping but the idea of more comfortable long trips has seen me buy a lwb vivaro, not 4x4 obviously but I'm not using it for that. Just started sound deadening an insulation.
Interesting choice.
You're probably going to miss the Landy's off-road ability 5% of the time but the Merc's going to be much better the other 95% of the time.
And, it also means you could - if you wanted to - buy a small(er) 4x4 and kit it out as an overnighter without having vehicles that fulfill similar roles.
Subbed.
Good vans , what’s happened with the daf
I'm writing this not knowing if it's possible but it would be epic. Have you seen the seats on trains in Sydney? they convert between forward facing and rear facing (there's a video on youtube) you could keep the bench seat in the front if you converted it so you'd have a "sofa" in the front when camping. you'd have to have a safety lock for driving i would think but how unique would that be?
Have you sold the landies ?
Hi I’m looking at both 4wd and 2wd versions of this. Haven’t purchased my van yet… You mention briefly about the engine size and fuel efficiency. Did you buy a 314 or 2 something? I’ve heard 3 might be better but keen to know what you have and if you know if there is much of a difference Thanks
I got a 316 906.
It’s a 2.1 bi turbo. I went for that because it’s pre ad blue and better on fuel. There is a newer 3Ltr but I didn’t fancy that because it’s harder to work on and uses more fuel but I’m sure there are lots of up sides to it.
Is there a tail gate for this shape?
No mate. It’s a full size van so you wouldn’t reach it when it’s open.
That's what I drive. My take is this. You lose about the top 5-10% in off road capability. In exchange you get something that much more reliable and truly a great drive. It's also trade tested and commercially used and designed to carry a much higher load than a 4x4. so great parts availability and millions of drivers hitting 300-400k miles in these when maintained.
Great to hear your ideas for a new project. Can't wait to see it.
Awesome. Great content as always. Looking forward to the build on this one 👍
Nice look forward to seeing it coming together 😊
Congrats Rich looking forward to the transformation videos
Save money on a overpriced single passenger seat base and just get a drivers and remove and reweld the mounting brackets.
Looking forward to this build my man. 👍
Love the videos, keep up the good work.
Quality choice mate
Looks like a great base van, looking to seeing what you do with it. Best of luck with it Rich.
Looks a great interesting project I look forward to the build vids now for electrical are you going to go Victron or the latest on Ecoflo plug and play
Really looking forward to this.
WELCOME TO THE CLUB 🎉
Great content as always, really looking forward to seeing you build this project & use it properly like you did the landy. Keep up the good work big fella.
The magic words as standard from factory this will be an exciting build great video looking forward to seeing more of the sprinter ( and the daf )
Looks like an interesting build coming up Rich. I might have missed it but has the Landy gone now?
if the rear body is flared out how does the sliding door work ??
I'm sure Rich' will realise that and either abandon the idea or find a way around it.
Wonder if it's possible to extend the sliders on the door(s) so it'll miss the flares?
It will be a great build bud can't wait to follow this one .🍺👍👍
Love the new van Rich!! Lots of potential.
Hmmm excited to see how this comes out
👍🏼🛠🚐
good vid on channel thanks lee
Can't wait for the Chinese diesel heater episode. ;-) Very jealous my dream camper.
like the van cannot wait to see it turn in to a camper van
How about hammocks for sleeping?
Gonna be a fun transition mate no draughts... and more mpg.
bug out van life..:) not edna,but probably a lot lot cheaper,allways good to see a video,whichever your in..)
IMPORTANT
Check the drain holes on the sills.
What's the long term plan with Edna or she already gone?
Noice one!!
After pouring so much time and effort into Edna the accident must have been devastating, only to find yourself enjoying a new beginning that you would have chosen otherwise.
Looks like the difference between Izal medicated and Andrex tri ply comfy bum got to look after yourself as you gets older
Narr unsub 🤣🤣
Kidding, those vans when lifted an boots of aggressiveness get most places, it's all in how one drives
Did notice that back step was close ta digging in crossing that little waterhazard, skid plate maybe?
🤙🖖
100k . Buy a house.
Best of luck with the new build looking forward to seeing it coming along looks class and capable 👍 🇮🇪🚐😀👍
