316CDI 4x4 Sprinter
Having watched to forum for a few years, we thought it as about time we became bona-fide members(y).
We had an ex-military Defender Ambulance conversion for 7 years which was great, but was hard work on long journeys and beginning to show its age.
We took the plunge 2 years ago and ordered a new 4x4 mwb Sprinter panel van. When it finally arrived (Covid delays) we had this converted by Sporttec of Redditch into a very well equipped camper. We went this route as it gave us the opportunity to specify the exact interior layout/finish/spec we wanted and the chance to watch the build as it progressed (and tweek it as required). We now have a very capable campervan with a spec better (we believe)and cheaper than the equivalent 4x4 sprinter conversion offered by the likes of Hymer. We finally got the completed van in June this year and have managed a few trips out including the Outer Hebrides. We hope to be able to do some of Scandinavia next year. The dream would be to take it to Iceland and explore the interior :cool:

Welcome to the house of fun from sunny Suffolk.
Nice van, a couple of Funsters stickers would do it proud.
You can ask Jim and Shan for them.

Lovely looking van. Would love to see interior photos if you have any
 
A few of the interior. Van has a fixed bed with space under for two bikes across the back, 90L fridge, oven/grill, microwave, hob, 6kW Truma Combi diesel heater, 2 berth but 2 belted rear travelling seats , 30L underslung LPG tank, 110Ahr lithium set up with all Victron kit, (120W solar, B2B charger, 1200W Multiplus unit), custom stainless steel shower tray .
After a bit of trouble shooting and tweeking, we now have a very well equipped and set up van.

That's a nice van setup you have. I've been looking at MWB Crafters with similar setups but not biting the bullet yet for various reasons. I'm hoping to tour Scandinavia, too, although in my case Denmark, Sweden and Norway (probably in 2023 now) so I'll be interested to hear how you get on in due course.
