Well Gazz, understand firstly that the Sprinter motor-
home was Roz's idea. Having carted the poor girl over many thousands of km in a basic Troopy she had enough! The Troopy was comfortable (sort of) with Stratos
suspension seats and had a comfortable double bed, but that was about it...... no
toilet!!!
The Sprinter is much quieter and has an INSIDE
TOILET and shower. And you know what they say about a 'happy wife'. It certainly is comfortable and has tons of power. Copes
well with unsealed roads and corrugations but I wouldn't want to subject it to an excess of that as it was designed and built as an urban delivery vehicle. So far we have been to Innaminka and down the Strez and Borefield Track. The big trip was from
home in Qld to
Exmouth via the Nullarbor but that was all blacktop and easy.
Loaded with heaps of technology, some of which I appreciate and some which drive me crazy. And I dread the thought of a minor sensor failure leaving me stuck in the middle of nowhere. The fencing wire and gaffer tape that I carried in the Troopy would not be of much help!
But you have to cope and be content with watchya got and we have explored a number of
places that we previously drove through on our way to the deserts. So keep your eyes open for a silver 4WD Sprinter with a happy couple in the front seats, Qld reg 011CC6.
