I've driven one of the smaller Sprinters. As in, SWB low-top as opposed to that LWB high-top. Six-speed gearbox! YUM!

We took this beast to Morzine in the French alps mountain bikeing and its booked again for this year.
9 of us with all mountain bikes and bags in rear compartment.
Fortunatly I got the UK part of the drive as I had lost my licence and didnt fancy the hassle of getting stopped in France without it.
DVD player, forward and rear facing 15" flat screens, CD Stereo, Tinted windows, Table· 6 cubic meters of equipment storage behind fixed bulkhead, Independent heating in passenger compartment.

Wow, that's well equipped. I've had a ride in an old american Chevy day van. Same idea as the A-Team van. It's like an sitting in first class on an aeroplane in there, but the one I've been in didn't have TVs.

Last time I went biking in the alps, I had 2 bikes on the roof and 3 on the tow bar bike rack. Not a fun drive, wish I had something as luxurious at that!
