DO WE MAKE IT?! - Mercedes Sprinter on a Jeep Trail - Winnebago RV 4x4 Camper

  • This was a blast and certainly the roughest trail I've ever driven in a Van - keep in mind I have not driven a capable solid axle 4x4 van and I still would love to build one and push the limits someday. For independent front suspension and how great the Sprinter handles on the road, I really was impressed!

    It's about time someone did this! People like the idea of a 4x4 sprinter, but very few will actually use it.

      We have done quite a few trails like this in our 4x4 sprinter. We are starting to see it take its toll when we maybe push it too much some days. It’s definitely capable. Sometimes we wonder IF we should be there but it’s fun to know it can.
      Just finished part of the AZPT which nearly broke us. Hahah. Cool video.

    Man it's so nice to see people actually wheel in their 4 wheel drive vehicles that they build out, Wish more folks actually did that. Can't wait to see the mobicon once you're finished, Hopefully I'll have my new camper rig built and finished by then And meet you boys in April/may down that way if the border opens.

      They aren't true 4x4, that's the main reason I'd never buy one. 35F/65R power split. Even a truck bed camper setup on an old Tacoma is twice as capable, at 1/10th the price.

    • @spec24
      @spec24 5 місяців тому +1

      ​​@@lllllllllllllllllllll1lll1capable is a relative term. You're not blowing our minds with your truck/sprinter comparison. Obviously the truck is a better off-road vehicle, but the van is a better living vehicle. The van is more capable of being a home on wheels that can also tackle some trails. The truck isn't. The van also has a lot of other desirable features. Jesus.

    • @SuperBardley
      @SuperBardley 4 місяці тому

      @@spec24 Yep, this is the choice to make. Drive up really tough trails and sleep in a tent and otherwise tough it (it might be pretty hot or cold) while relaxing and hanging out. Or drive up less tough trails and have a comfortable and easy time in a warm, dry van where one can stand and walk around.

    Wow! Didn’t know a heavy Sprinter Class B could do that! But that traction control is very old technology. BMW, Mercedes and Audi have had it since they went computerized a while back. GM and other American companies as well. My first was a 1995 Chevy Caprice Police car (the best one I ever had! Was a steel wheel PD version of their SS Impala). First I ever owned was a 1997 Chevy Lumina. Is good in loose rocks, dirt in my Z71 but can have you walking for a tractor in the mud! Luckily GM has a button you press and hold for 10 seconds, or just put it in 4wd Low. My friend is on the verge of unloading a Ford 4x4 (Quigley) E350 for a new AWD Transit. I am definitely sending him a link to this video! Damn!!!

      Absolutely! I take my old VW Vanagon Syncro Westy on roads like that every chance I get. I sometimes think about getting a Sprinter to have something more reliable and with A/C, but I actually prefer the smaller size of the Vanagon -- It fits between tight trees on jeep trails better than the Sprinter would.

  • @mikeanouk
    @mikeanouk 2 роки тому

    for me the most important thing about this van is that it is very narrow and very high and that is because of the rear-wheel drive. This Camper has in the rear windows some added protrusions to be able to sleep wide that you can buy it from the factory but if you want to camperize it then you hold on and you have to sleep along losing interior space. Being so high in size it has a double entrance step and about 18 cm more total height with which the wind and the wobbling become very very evident to solve this in the times we are going it would not be wrong to apply the technology of the Toyota 4x4 that is front-wheel drive and two electric motors that go to the rear wheels and thus does not have as much height of the ground or the height total of the body and of course it would be necessary to put a hybrid engine that it is time for Mercedes to savvy to the times that run.

      @archangel5627 3 роки тому +3

      I’m sure what they were doing with that sprinter van wasn’t good for the vehicle. Even though it’s a 4x4, the suspension, axels, and general weight of the van are not suited for serious off-roading. With that being said I’m extremely surprised at how well the sprinter van preformed on those rocky and gnarly slopping trails! So maybe wrong. Personally if that was my van I wouldn’t risk hurting the vehicle or possibly getting stuck by driving on that type of terrain but that’s just me. I would feel a whole let safer driving a Jeep or a truck on those type of roads. What ever the case might be, they definitely pulled it off and they did it well!
