We just got back from a 4200 mile 12 day trip in the trusty Sprinter (AirStream Interstate).
It was further a day and more freeway than I prefer, but the wife had specific places she wanted to go, I had stuff to do this week and the weather could come in at any time.
Van ran perfectly, averaged about 24mpg (I need to verify this exactly, but pretty close)- which considering a LOT of 75mph driving is pretty good. The 10,000 little 1st gear mountain road above Lone Pine, CA was pretty fun, and it cruised right up with no issues at all.
I had installed some Sumo from ‘springs’ and it improved the big bumps noticably. The ‘Bigfoot’ leveling system worked well (installed by previous owner, but jacks were removed. I bought new ones and installed them). Really no problems at all.
great fun!
States:
Washington
Idaho
Montana
Wyoming
South Dakota
Wyoming (again)
Utah
Nevada
California
Oregon
Washington (again)
Coldest was 24º F
Hottest was around 90ºf
Sleet and ice in Wyoming/Utah, but other than high winds in Montana it was great weather.
I like this rig more all the time (owned just over a year now, has about 55k miles on it after the trip).
