[QUOTE="Hookka, post: 458279, member: 14150"] Lots of good points and opinions here. I was leaning to the sprinter because it is the most reliable in it's class from what I have read, and it can be made into a camper while still looking pretty normal from the outside. When we're traveling we won't be able to stay in the bush all the time and will have times we need to park it overnight in towns and cities. Vehicles that look overtly like camping/living spaces can be a problem when we're having a hard time finding a place to stay. The beginning we'll be working in Melbourne to make some extra money to build a safet net, that is gonna be the toughest I think, after that were out of any major metropolitan areas for the most part and I figure it will be easier to find places to park overnight while we're moving around. I am pretty handy and don't mind building out a van myself over a month or so, finding a buildspace is the issue with that. My girlfriend also doesn't seem to have the same faith as I do in my abilities :lol: . There's alot of reasonably priced sprinters with complete or partial builds available to suit our needs too, so that would save a good 30 days or so on building it ourselves when our time allowed in the country is kind of limited and we wanna make the most out of it. Guess I've got to weigh out some options, while modding a car obviously is gonna up the likelyhood of breakdowns (trust me I know from experience... RIP my old GMC sierra) I'm not sure how much extra stress a diff lock and some all terrains would stress the vehicle. [/QUOTE]
