Jill, stumbled across your van video. Your dad would be so proud of your accomplishments (and he would have loved the van) My name is Dave Graham, Peter and I played a lot of golf and pool together his last couple years. I spoke at his funeral and told the story about him always leaving his phone on “In case Jillybean calls” I think of him often, I now work at one of the golf courses we used to play, Mt Si. He would be jealous as I now play for free! Hope all is well, stay safe!

Great van, obviously a lot of work went into that. I have to ask myself though why do all mountain bikers seem to want to convert a sprinter van versus just getting an RV? I get that one is easier to drive and better on gas mileage but it seems like a monumental amount of work and expense. I'm sure there's a reason, I just don't know what it is.
@Mounta1nKing5 жыл бұрын
Easier parking at events and trailheads. Can manage many dirt roads pretty well. Gas mileage. Easier to stealth camp in van. Many neighborhoods have restrictions on RV. It can be your daily driver. It's #vanlife, not #rvlife.

His bed that folds into a futon is really sweet and really opens up the space, but with two people I don't think you can beat a big bed like this one. I need space to move around when I sleep, and if its warm I can't really be touching my partner or I overheat. Anything smaller then a queen would be too small for me with a partner personally, for short trips and vacations smaller would probably work. Good sleep is important especially if your trying to be competitive. Not sure if this is the regular or mid length sprinter, the long version is a little impractical since you can't really park it in any normal spots.

No issues with assembly for me kzbin.infoUgkxHL1v1R3NE5x4KiYfyt8dnQmyNYz7qi5L but I could see where some might benefit from using an experienced bike assembler/mechanic. I'm an older rider starting back after a 10 year break. This bike exceeds my capabilities and has been easy to get comfortable riding. I'm mostly on easy trails with almost no street riding and have not been disappointed with the performance of the bike. My fitness level is far below what I previously rode with and because of that the mileage is going on the bike slowly. While I'm losing weight slowly, the bike seems to tolerate my 220 pounds just fine. The bike has been used by several family members ranging from 5'5" - 5'9".

Dannyboiii Green first of all UK does not even have one successful Car-company, except mini. But even mini is lead by an german headquarter, otherwise it would also have been getting bankrupt. The only thing brits can do right is: steeling money from rest of the EU, making questionable deals on the stock exchange, drinking beer and watching football The good think, they voted themself out of Europe. Ok, most of all because they got rapped by digital fake news from the brexetiers Millionär mafia. Anyway, you get what you deserve. The Sprinter was, is, and will always be the most successful Van in the world!! Google it you dummy. If you don’t like it, than it is your personal opinion, but don’t contaminate it with your unfair fake comment
