Hi All,
I am a lady traveller new to the forums. I have done the big lap in a Toyota Hiace in 08/09 which has ruined me for life - I can think of nothing else!!! So naturally I now have to do it again 4x4 style!
I have bought a 2014 Mercedes Sprinter 4x4 MWB (arriving later this month) and having camper van conversion done May/June. I have only just found a winch compatible bull bar but still having difficulty finding anywhere that has a
snorkel to fit my model. Can anyone out there offer advice?
I am also curious if anyone has tackled
Cape York, Fraser or
Kimberley in a 4x4 Sprinter Van. I'm not really sure of its capabilities yet but will be doing a 4x4 course before I leave.
Thanks
Toni

Toni.
Plenty of very happy 4x4 Sprinter owners out there, including me. They are very capable if you go to the trouble of reading the hand book and understanding the traction control. If you are in
Melbourne I could give you some driving tips.
I would not bother with a
snorkel The standard set up gets very little dust in the filter. You can not drive in deep water in a Sprinter because they float before the air intake goes under. Eric
