Yea this was the only van I could afford and it was also golden scenario - long enough for any motorbike but not too long as a ‘first van’. I paid trade-in cost for this low swb, which was a steal. Trade-in value was going up by the week too.
MWB high roof is megabucks because of van life hipsters, I bet a LWB Sprinter could be fully off-grid liveable.

Yeah the big Sprinter is super roomy and we took our time to find one with automatic transmission and air conditioning so it's a pretty nice space to be in although it's really started to succumb to the dreaded rustworm in the last year or so, it's only 2014 but I reckon we're going to have to give it a fairly extensive partial respray to keep it from falling apart in the next few years!

Exciting times ahead! I'd love to do a basic van conversion at some stage for surf trips (I've got one eye on the high roof, LWB Sprinter we have in work when it comes time to retire it...) My sister also has a 1984 Mercedes, a TN series I believe, she's converting at the moment! A well sorted van is a pretty excellent accessory to a lot of hobbies!
