Used to drive a panel van version tom_d of your Panzer camper.
Slow, heavy, but offset by being from the era when Mercedes where very well built and very reliable. Simple engines and not coke can thickness body panels on a burly chassis.
Wouldn't want a Vito or Sprinter for anything other than outright speed as they rot fast.
Renault Master/Traffic have weak gearboxes, current fun buses i use are Fiat Ducato, whacked out 90k on some of them in one year, with marignal servicing and many many drivers behind the wheel trying to get them beyond the limited 68mph restrictor's. We had the badged up Peugot variant before and 6 blew head gaskets around 120-140k mileage mark.
Used to see loads of VW's at DH races all pimped out, those on a budget went Ford Transit as it's a Transit so cheap to run and repair, massive second hand spares network too.
Enjoying this thread.
caravans can burn :)
