Mercedes-Benz Sprinter review! The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter is a crazily versatile van -- and today I'm reviewing an RV model, complete with a kitchen, a bed, an 4-wheel drive. I'll show you the quirks and features of this Sprinter 4x4, and I'm also going to drive this Sprinter to show you what it's like behind the wheel.

Only real Doug fans remember when he reviewed REAL houses
☝️☝️☝️Congratulations, you have been selected among today’s winners,🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉 message me to claim prize,................
Did he actually do that?
@@lukesepter3250 Yep. I'll never forget the awesome pool it had.
i miss the more doug videos. also that one where he went on a drive and did car spotting
@@lukesepter3250 he has also reviewed the most expensive and one of craziest hotel rooms
I’d like to see doug take 3 hours and review the quirks of a super yacht.

A multi part series lol.
Have you ever watched his house and hotel reviews? I really miss those videos.
@@k.r.99 I remember! didn't last much :(
Hell yeah! All the while jerking and twitching around like some cracked out cartoon character.
Can we just all appreciate that at 0:08 the Carrera GT in the distance looks stunning in the sun
☝️☝️☝️Congratulations, you have been selected among today’s winners,🎁🎁🎉🎉🎉 message me to claim prize,.............
Exactly what I was thinking, would kill to get a picture of it with my camera in that sunlight ❤
It's like when u find an item in a game and there's light shining on it
Why do people on YT comments always say "Can we just all appreciate..." like they just want men's attention?
In the US, when people appreciate other people's cars, it means they just want to steal it.
I suspect that's his warehouse to store his cars, probably one of his new acquisitions since selling Cars and Bids.
Doug is the type of guy to bring his Carrera GT to review a Sprinter (see 0:09)
it's just so fking cool let's be honest. Top G move right there.
You know he did that just so he would have it in the background of half the video lol.
Doug might also be the type of guy to own / rent an airplane hanger for car storage and video filming.
Homie flexing 💪🏽💪🏽🔥🔥🔥
You beat me to it, I was about to say it as soon as I clicked play but I figured I better check the comments first, lol
Cool that doug brought back house reviews

THIS is an 1800 Sq Ft Raised Ranch, you can find it after the review on Homes&Bids
@@volvo09 don’t give him any ideas 😂😂😂
@@volvo09 lol 😅
After watching this I’m pretty sure a much better layout could be achieved.
The control panel looks poor and could be located up high, giving another space for storage.
The Bench seating had a big metal bracket behind for people to lean back on looking very uncomfortable and the location of the Bed means it could only Sleep 2.
This Conversion Company would do well to take a visit to a Camper Show in Europe, they would learn a whole lot
This looks obviously DIY.
It was.
Also, where is the water tank located? Anyone who noticed, please tell me
@@ATHIP12 exactly.
This is what I would expect from someone doing a one off. It's usable but not ideal. I'm sure if they were to do more conversions there are things that they would change even if only in the layout.
I would be down to watch Doug do RV reviews
We said the same thing about houses and then he stopped
@@joshuad1716maybe the views were not as great as they are with cars
@@Charlie-Charlot I think it’s the same reason he stopped doing the break down of the Doug score, since videos like these are for sale ads, he can’t point out any negative features or drawbacks like he’d like to since it would like decrease interest in whatever he’s promoting
@@joshuad1716 Doug score break downs were just unnecessary tbh, I'm glad he stopped it long time ago. I get some people liked it but with the average length of like 25 mins for his videos you're already asking much and those 2 extra minutes or so just made me a little more reluctant to click on a video.
where all the meat the quirks and features are

If the camper's rockin', don't come a knockin'
@@davidfrench5407 Why else do you think those doors can be lockin'?
Haha I love that Doug drove the Carrera GT to review this van😂0:12 it's in the background. Finally someone who can afford a car like that and actually uses and enjoys the marvel of engineering it is.
There's someone where I live who daily drives a 911 gt3 rs!
As the owner of a Promaster camper van and a Cayman S I can confirm that a Porsche and a van is the best two vehicle combo ever.
Yeah I'm glad when cars get actually used, we don't need infinite museum pieces. Want to see them in the wild doing what they were built to.
there are plenty of people who do that even tho most don't. specially with driver focused cars like those.
The day we get Doug doing yachts, RVs and motorcycles will be the best day ever

Only Ground Vehicles would suffice
He has done houses before...
Or brothels
Glad to see these Mercedes-Benz Sprinters are also popular in the US.
Here in Germany these are insanely popular since the first Models forever ago exactly for that Purpose! Hope the New Owner will have a Blast with it!

You can look up Van life here on YT. The Sprinters are the best and most reliable of the large vans. If you have the money, get the Meceades over the Dodge, Ford, or Nissan variants.
In Europe, most of these Sprinters are commercial vans, some of them also used as minibuses for kindergartens, schools, etc.
How are they cool vans when they not meant to be cool?
@@automation7295 I'm assuming it is the same for Europe as with America. If you have one of these sprinter vans, there is no reason for you to be broke. People are always looking for independent contractors who own a Sprinter van; or the Dodge, Nissan, or Ford equivariant. If you don't build it into a camper, you can always use it as a money maker.
My first trip to Germany 12 years ago I was driving very fast on the autobahn, and a Mercedes Sprinter van passed me! It was shocking to see a vehicle that tall going that fast, considering how easy it would be to tip over if you made an emergency maneuver or hit the brakes hard.
I really like this kind of vehicle. But if I have money to buy a new RV, I'll buy one which's a little bit longer so I can fit a small restroom with a toilet and shower to improve practicality and to be livable in for up to a couple weeks. Mine would get belted seating and beds for at least 4 people as well. Love how customizable Sprinters are!

Check out a Storyteller overland van. I love mine and the lithium battery pack was why I bought mine.20 feet long allows me to park in a regular parking spot
Agreed. This is clearly at best a weekender conversion for a single person or a couple. For anything longer duration or for kids you probably wouldn't want something like this.
You can do it in the 144. There are even pop up full bathrooms for these. The problem in the end is always storage. So it is always a trade off. Personally I would prefer more comfort and less storage. But you still need a lot of things if you are going to the wilderness and want to do it safely and have a good time.
No one goes to the "wilderness" in a giant RV.@@costafilh0
I remember seeing an ad on a car sale site here in the UK and they had a Ford Transit that was a camper, really nicely done, looked awesome, ready to go anywhere at any given time. However they had based it off the base model transit so you were paying £70,000 (nearly $85,000 before tax) for a very nice camper with no cruise control, no air conditioning, halogen headlights, plastic steering wheel, basic radio etc. Then I thought to myself "I'd be driving this as much as I would living in it... I'd want it to be a nice drive as well as somewhere nice to stay"
Agreed. The EarthRoamers look like the ideal RV that stays small, gives you all the comforts of home and looks easy to drive. The over a million dollar price tag is much harder to deal with.
Professionally done and nicely equipped will cost you money though.
Ford's are GARBAGE!!!!!
@@1slotmech If I was paying £70,000 for a camper I'd expect a higher trim level than a base rental spec.
Here in Brazil the Sprinter is extremely common as a commercial vehicle, but only recently I have seen these conversions. Usually they use the long-wheelbase Sprinter and put another air conditioner in the back.
Já vi a 144" aqui convertida. O problema é que as conversões são porcas e não tem 4x4 disponível no Brasil. Importar por fora ficaria ainda mais proibitivo, visto que uma Sprinter Camper simples está na faixa de meio milhão.
A family member used to have a Jayco Melbourne, which is a 24 foot Class C motorhome based on the long wheel base Sprinter. Even though it weighed 10,000 pounds, merging with highway traffic was never a crisis and it averaged 16 mpg on several cross country trips. Add in that it fits in a standard driveway and is HOA friendly because "ooh, it's a Mercedes", the Sprinter makes for an impressive package.
If you don't plan to offload, yes, bigger is better.
I love how Doug's Carrera GT is just chilling in the background..

Looking majestic.
Doug is the type of guy to point out that the fun is always happening in the back.
I love the idea of these sprinters for sure.
I will say though, to those young people looking to camp and who don’t want to spend too much money like with this, you can absolutely do a long car camp trip in an economy hatchback. I have a Veloster N that my wife and I slept in and lived out of for 11 days on a 3300 mile road trip, staying at KOA Kampgrounds all along the route. We had a flat memory foam bed, cooking supplies, a bag cooler, totes of all our equipment and snacks, and we were even able to hold all that down cleanly and I was able to enjoy all the amazing roads along the PCH from North Oregon to LA, true sporty driving fashion the entire trip.
I camped out of the back of a bmw 435i gran coupe for a tour up the CA coast, just laid the back seats flat and laid in the hatch, was all good!
Closest thing we’ve had to a Doug house tour in years 😔

I kinda miss those. I understand why he doesn't do them anymore but they were fun to watch
I used to look for my States license plate it was number 41
I remember when Doug did a series of real estate reviews on the second channel. They were incredibly entertaining. This video had that sort of vibe since it's a house on wheels!
I think he explained some reason why he doesn't do house reviews anymore, but I would kill to see that series revived.

Diesel heaters are great. We had put a APC heater in our MLVW and it was toasty warm 😊
as I can see in the background, Doug living the life in the frickin' carrera gt 😄
0:08 tha boss is in the house!!! Now that is arriveing in style for a review
I drove an '87 Chevy Astro conversion van back in the day. Other than the 4wd and BF Goodrich, this van doesn't have anything more than the Chevy. Second motor quit at 330,000 miles on the 4.3 litre Vortec. Nice work Doug, you turned the uninspiring into something moderately entertaining. Well Done.
Recently got my own 2022 4x4 Sprinter, building it out into a camper as well. I love it! One of the last 4x4's to roll off the production line before they switched fully to the new AWD setup
This is like a cross-over episode for me.
And I loved it!

This reminds me of his house and hotel room reviews! LOVE IT. "I've been in a lot of rooms in my life- weird flex."
This is basically (& literally) my requests answered: Doug going nuts in a sea of quirky features. ❤
That table mount reminds me of seat mounts in small recreational boats, which is an idea I may now apply to my micro camper build. Thanks for a useful review!

Doug Demuro Needs To Review The Lamborghini Yacht Quirls And Features
It’s always been a dream of mine to road trip in something like this. How cool!
i want one of these so badly! car camping is like taking a vacation from taking vacations (while still taking a vacation :p). no luggage to deal with, no checking in or out, just you and the journey ahead. i used to be able to fit my bike, plenty of fishing gear, a guitar or 2, along with the everyday stuff and still have enough room to sleep comfortably in my 08 mazda 3 until the transmission gave out a few years ago :x
i enjoyed it because i could always go right back home whenever i wanted, but if i had one of these i would practically live on the road as long as ive got my gaming pc and vr setup with me lol
I drove the LONGER version of the Sprinter for ... 6-7 years crossing multiple countries and a lot of time caring a 1 car trailer (but for a year I drove it with a trailer for 2 cars crossing multiple countries cities etc) in all weather conditions including winter with A LOT OF SNOW with the trailer :))) in Europe so.... I think you will be just fine in US no matter the size. I don't recommend going off road with the long version or extended version at all maybe the long version but with the double wheels in the back that way I think you will have lockers ... not 100% sure but maybe . I don't think the long version haves 4x4 .
Doug being surprised that a '19 Sprinter with a V6 can handle the highway, meanwhile there's me in an overloaded, tired '08 LWB work van with the 2.2 sending it... yeah man, 2 different worlds haha
This is a REAAALLLLY nice van. Among a sea of van life vans, this one stands out.
Yessss I was in the market for one of these. Thanks for reviewing Doug!
nothing about engine, 4wd system, gearbox, diffs, etc... what a review..

Money gone to his head…
I like how Doug says RV. Like a pirate tired of other pirates so he traded his ship in for a sprinter van.
How to know Doug isn't a Van Lifer, he has the table the wrong way.😄
I'm really glad we have this because we haven't had a really revolutionary, practical, cool car, van for a long time. This original Volkswagen camper van from the 70's and really 80's was the last time we were given one of these really cool, functional, well built survival vehicles. The original VW vans are worth a lot now.
Great vans, very popular in the U.K. as well…..👍🇮🇲

I kinda feel like that "bed" is a bit extra. It looks like those bench seats have a lip on the front which means it converts into a bed as well. That black one seems like it takes up space that could be used for something else. Other than that this van is pretty nice.
Edit: The table prob fits on that lip infront of the benches to make it a bed.
We tried out 3 Sprinter Vans for use at work. We make multiple deliveries per day and often start the day with a heavy load. They handle well and are surprisingly quick but they don't age gracefully. When things start to break parts get really really expensive and many parts can only be acquired through Mercedes and installed at a Mercedes dealer. We've retired one and are now trying a new Ford Van to see if it is any more cost effective.
I want to thank you Doug. Your voice when put phone up to my ear vibrates inside and cures my itch. Thank you Doug

LMAO there is nothing premium about this, especially the bamboo countertops. This is one of the cheapest done Sprinter vans I have ever seen and I have been in some gorgeous, premium ones.
Gotta love the low key Carrera GT flex in the intro.
I love it! I wonder how well it would do towing a sedan or small crossover behind it.
Doug is going to bridge the gap between van lifers and car enthusiasts. I am expecting the van lifers to point out all the details he missed with the conversion. The stuff that they obsess over :)
My buddy bought a van like this, but it is a blank slate. I am interested to see how he sets it up.

Is he the party-bus kind of van owner, or the live-in-NYC-without-going-broke kind of van owner?
He should've reviewed a quality build like Outside Van Project, or Rossmonster vans. This build is super low quality.
Maine loves you too Doug!
I love Maine too Doug. Thanks for repping my home state!
Be careful Doug. Looks like you drove near a school in that thing.
Well, I mean, it's not a Toyota HiAce...
I'm surprised this got a handling rating of 1. I thought that score was reserved for vehicles with dangerously bad handling. Sprinter vans handle no worse than any other van, though I suppose there is some risk of rollover with this tall model if you overload the roof rack without putting a bunch of weight down low as well.
I absolutely loved this review thank you
Finally! Doug shd review more campervan/motorhome👍
This is what it would be like to be in the alternate universe where Doug reviews houses instead of cars. I actually dig it. Good video Doug!
He did review houses before, in the same style
He has a couple house reviews on his other channel. I liked the way he did them, but it seems like the views to those videos were not that many and he stopped doing them.

Hi. Im 2nd today
Hell yea man
CGT looking majestic in the background
What a let down of a vehicle in that it's twice as large as a T2 or T3 VW Westfalia, and those are basically the same layout, but can sleep up to 5 in basically the same comfort. Doug, those are quicky AF and you should really find an original mint one to review ('76+ for the T2 or any T3 as they all essentially have the same, IMO best most optimized layout inside. You'll love the quirks! Built in jacks to lift/level, the pop top, pressurized air required for the washer fluid (you pressurize it like a bike tire), bug screens that go over the hatch and windows, louvre windows, attachable tents for more room... The list goes on. They are incredible.
I really feel left aside hearing and seeing several testimonies from people on profits they make from Bitcoin/Forex Investment.. Can someone recommend a good expert that trade on my behalf and generate profit for me.
Who is this Mrs Letton Deb everyone is talking about and how do i contact her directly?
Thanks for the recommendation guys. I will be looking forward to earn from my first Investment with her.
