  LLM, Our Sprinter - 2016 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter
  By Moji - July 9 - 4:47 am

  We were comparing the Sprinter with the Transit Van. Both vehicles offer much for the money. We read that if you stay below 65 mph, your mpg would be fine. We purchased our Sprinter from Nelli, she is great, at MB Laguna Niguel. We checked highway mpg at 60 mph from Laguna Niguel to Oceanside, CA and averaged 29.8 mpg...gotta love that. The Transit diesel on an 18 mile loop averaged 23 mpg. The Transit passenger van includes rear hvac and can be ordered for around $900.00 for other style vans. The Sprinter rear hvac is $3600.00. We purchased a crew van and will put a Dometic 15,000 btu Brisk II heat pump on the roof and carry a portable generator for when we may need it. Also installing two MaxxAir vents to help circulate air while driving. Front air conditioning in Sprinter is more than adequate for first two rows of people. When we finish we will have a very nice travel van. Regarding sleeping in the van or camping out, my wife has told me she is happy to continue camping out at the Hilton. The travel van will make our travels much more comfortable and allow us to take our dog with us. Will be able to sleep in Sprinter if in pinch.
