Speaking of which.. Tell me about your Sprinter.. I saw them listed
from 14,000 to 100,000 in a quick search, I suppose I must have missed
somethig but I was in a hurry. I am looking to trade my Blazer in for
something I can use as a hauler for a couple of bikes. What kind of
gas mileage do you get in yours? Not crossposted...

I assume you are looking for something you can eat/sleep in as well.
Otherwise, why not a simple trailer?


But, to answer your question, our Sprinter ... set up as a mini RV by
Pleasure-Way ... gets a solid 20-21 mpg on the highway doing 65-70 mph.
Slightly less (18-19 mpg) towing a trailer. It's the 2005 model,
170-inch
(long) wheelbase with the 5 cylinder diesel. Still has less than 4000
miles on it. We rarely use it, but Mrs.E. refuses to even think of
selling
it because she thinks it's "cute".

Nope, not looking to buy yours but I am looking into more "full size"
vans. As to a hauler, I would rather not have to pull a trailer if
possible but still want two rows of seats and real doors, not a hatch
on the back. Can you stand up in those things if you are say, 5'7"?
Just wondering, but the gas mileage sounds better than I expected. Of
course yours sounds nice, does it have a kickin' a 8 track and shag
carpet on the ceiling, I always thought the waves in the carpet as the
wind went over it was cool

Here's some for you:

Probably looking to trade for something used, but the more I read the
more I like it.. The Mouse and Mrs. Mouse hate em' though.. Think they
are ugly. You know me though, I am a tool guy, and as a tool those
things look perfect.. ****, looks like it gets at least as good
mileage as my Blazer. I hate dragging the bike(s) in and out of the
house every night. I think with Lojak and a decent alarm, they would
be pretty safe in there...

Just look at some of the UPS vans. They use a lot of Sprinters.
