That's an awesome interior. Is it a factory option? The only thing I don't like about theist vehicles is the huge hood. I'd like to see a sprinter with an interior like that.

Looks cool but at the spacing those seats are at there would be some serious smacking of knees and intertwined legs. No soup for this.

That is a ROADTREK conversion. They use to be the best Van conversion company out there....however I think their interior usable space has declined since they joined up with a US manufacture...

We had a 1982 Dodge 3/4 ton built by them. It was awesome...except the propane tank dragged off road (needed a 4x4 conversion)...

I know that new Nissan van/truck thing is highly functional and will definitely give the Sprinter some competition. I want to like it, I really do, but man is it awkward looking.

And the "camperized" interior looks like it came out of full sized RV - how much volume do those huge chairs consume? Doesn't look like there is much room for your things. And at 45 000 the reserve isn't met yet - I wonder how much they actually want for it.

Just because you can do something, doesn't mean you should.

The pop top looks good though.

I think the idea with this specific one comes down to who will buy it.

Modern family of two adults and two or more children that want the most out of comfort while on the road but the added advantage of pulling into an RV campground or beach and using the dual beds.

For the age/size of the vehicle and price, it is a good combination of comfortable long distance driving for all passengers and being able to comfortably sit around a table and play cards, then sleep at night.

I would pull the axles off a Safari, reinforce the frame and toss on 33's. Fab up a front/rear bumper and this ugly contraption would look killer.

Same was said with the stock L300's. Many people saw them as fugly until people starting playing with them.

I think for a two person van it would be good... just take out the middle seats and then there is room. Unless you have babies I think a tent outside to let the kids move around would be better. For an over nighter it would be adequate but it is too specific a use for more than two people. I traveled as two adults with two kids on long trips in a 27 foot motor home (open concept version class A) and at times we felt you needed some space but everyone is different.
