Great in depth review but no mention of the fact there are no opening windows at all . 2 tiny sky lights and only air conditioning to keep you cool. 100amp lithium and 100watt solar aren't going to be any use to run that air conditioner for long if not on ehu. Also hardly any storage for kitchen equipment or food etc. I lve the Sprinter but there are far better vans for the money.
Thanks for watching Pamela and it was an expensive van for the spec. Interesting points you raise too about the windows etc. - many thanks for that :))

Great review but you would have to be mad to pay £125k for effectively a AS Warwick XL with a Mercedes badge. We bought a new XL 4 years ago and the build quality was appalling. We hated the dark ambulance windows you couldn’t open, it was always dark inside, the pinch points where the cooker is, always “one in - one out” ! The front seats were a waste of time, never used them, put the front table in and you were stuck! The sink in the shower?? You had to be a contortionist! And on board gas? Err no thanks! No question how nice the van looks and of course that prestigious Mercedes badge providing the “look at me” statement but inside where you spend a lot of time? Horrible!!
Brilliant in depth review. Great van and some big savings at the moment. Would love to travel Europe in this!!
Many thanks for that Rob, much appreciated - it would be fab in Europe :))

What a shame someone at the dealership had a box or something with sharp edges on that passenger seat. Never get those marks out.
Thanks for watching Jeff and they’ll need a good cleaner and a touch of dealer magic 😀🚌
£125k, and they treat a vehicle like that. Not a good advert for them
