Hi, fellow sprinter owner. The first time I saw a Sprinter van -- about 7 years ago -- I said, "Oh my god, I've got to have one!" But they seemed big and out of reach. Then I saw the 118" and I said it again. Now, I can hardly believe this has come true: I've got myself a 2006 118" and I'm beginning a big conversion, turning it into a state-of-the-art camper. Jill (my wife) and I are big do-it-yourselfers. You can see what we've done to our house -- a former trashed frat house -- at our website: House Love: for Fans and Lovers of Old Houses. We hope to have the same success with our van. We'll post the progress here and on my blog: Ron Tanner's site for writers and reader Best wishes to you in your Sprinter travels!
