OUR HONEST 12 MONTH 4X4 SPRINTER REVIEW - NOGRAYDAZE - AUSTRALIA
We've been travelling/living in our Sprinter van for 12 months & are keen to share our thoughts on what we love about our 4X4 Sprinter van & what we would maybe do differently. We cover topics such as the drivability, fuel economy/ long range fuel tank, our van layout (why no internal shower & toilet), why we chose a medium wheel base & possible new rig option.
We've responded to a few questions that were suggested to us from our viewers & we hope we help others in the future on some things they would include on their van or whether you're considering to buy a Sprinter van yourself.
Please like, subscribe & leave a comment if you have more questions or want anything else clarified :)
Brendan & Bronte :)

    Hi Guys. We have really enjoyed your travel videos and having driven some of the same areas in our Crafter Kampervan All Terrain. Your observations and comments are spot-on. Heading to Tassie next year and your coverage of your advetures there will help. Wondering about your impressions of the KO2 All Terrain tyres. How were they in the wet on paved roads? Are they noisy? Look forward to seeing the next chapter in your adventures. Cheers. Geoff
