They are a Mercedes sprinter is a reliable bucket of crap.. Stop spreading propaganda mate. Like the other person said in the comments, the government got a deal with Mercedes.. they wernt chosen for reliability.. I have a colleague that is contracted to service the Ambulances and the sprinters are constantly breaking down with major electrical issues, engine and gearbox issues.. Toyota is where it’s at
@wadeanddaniКүн бұрын
Totally agree with Toyotas as well, they go forever. It would be nice if they created a big van like a sprinter but they don’t. We have had sprinters in the past and travelled full time in one for 3 years with no issues and met sooooo many people on the road doing the same thing and with no issues.

Dang wish my parents were rich too. Different story when a wildfire burns everything and you are forced to live van life. Sad how people do everything for social media gratification and the chance they might go viral.... meanwhile people work and produce, struggle and claw. If you're on here thinking everyone is going to just coddle and love you.... you really are diluted and delusional. Remember the world might revolve around you, but real people are tired of seeing spoiled people get whatever they want with minimal effort. If you cared about independent life you would get off your social media and enjoy it instead of wanting to show off for views... dang, just, dang kisddos.

@@wadeanddani500,000 kilometers is about 300,000 miles (US/English) and Mercedes regularly reach that here as well. However, there are brand loyalists who only *"buy American,"* like Ford and Chevy. What they do not realize is our *"AMERICAN"* cars are usually BUILT OVERSEAS or in Mexico! Secondly, due to the market shares of Ford and Chevy here, there are many, many more repair shops and dealerships that can and will work on Fords and Chevys, but, relatively few that can or will work on a Mercedes, especially in the central region of our country.

Just ordered a 500x700mm skylight to fit with the same orientation for the same reasons on the rear of my Sprinter! So I can not tell you invaluable this is as a how-to for something so substantial and seemingly rare. Was impressed to see you cut through a roof beam without seemingly a care :) Guess your experience tells your the whole thing will hold whilst still being structurally sound.... Wonderful to see that much light come through: as you say completely changes the rear area dynamics. Lovely. Fabulous video; thank you.

I'd reserve this comment for solar homes in stable grid areas, struggling to make ROI before the panels fail and have to be replaced in a never-ending subsidized cycle. Having convenient power generated wherever you go, isn't much of a waste, if all you care about is having a maintainable lifestyle.
@EternallyGodАй бұрын
@@Roobotics Barely any power generated you mean. If you cant aim the panel perfectly at the sun the efficiency drops to under 10%. Easier to buy a generator and a fuel tank....this problem has already been fixed but you kamala voters are suckers. I have money invested into solar companies cause of the money spent on pushing solar garbage is immense and there is a sucker born everyday.
@NavySeal2kАй бұрын
I had an ROI after 5 years given I have a bigger base load of around 250W. So thx sucker for not understanding solar and keeping demand low enough to still drop panel prices. You can get 800W complete sets für around 200 bucks now. Even my grandpa would have a fast ROI only watching TV...
