Buying a Used Sprinter Van – Top Ten Problems to Look Out For

A “Stealthy” Sprinter Camper

Welcome to the Sprinter RV blog!
I started it when we built our Sprinter RV conversion, an all-diesel and solar-powered Sprinter camper van. Now I've also written the Sprinter RV Conversion Sourcebook and the Sprinter RV Buyer's Guide to help you build or find your own Sprinter RV. There's also a Sprinter DIY Conversion Resources page with free information to help you with doing a conversion yourself.

I hope you find it useful reading! Greg Keith - Boulder, CO
