Hi Everyone,
I just joined the forum, and I'm searching for a Sprinter to convert to a camper. I've narrowed my search to 1st-gen, 140" WB, high roof models. I've been thinking cargo or crew van (I'd like to have at least one 2-seat bench), but there's a 2003 passenger van for sale not too far from me. The price is high: $20,000, but maybe there are some advantages that would make it worth it. What do you all think?
Here are the initial concerns that come to mind:
1. How much headroom does the rear fan duct take up?
2. Is it easy enough to remove the entire rear A/C and ductwork?
3. Alternately, is it possible to rig the rear fan to run without the ignition on?
4. Can any of the fixed windows be replaced with ones that open?
Thanks in advance!
