Great treasure trove of info there. Your blog looks very helpful too! I'm sure I'll reach out with more questions the deeper I start getting to know this van. Glad to hear the MPGs will get into the 20's. That's what I was hoping for!<br /><br />As for no-rust, I think that's due to the previous owner keeping in a garage in Georgia most of it's life. Now that I'm having to keep it outside on a driveway, I sure hope to not have it sitting in Chicago over a winter-- so Mexico will be double-important to escape to!Lynne (WinnieViews)https://www.blogger.com/profile/17043666828785051719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260822222423395104.post-5822935366157732762013-05-31T13:56:13.216-05:002013-05-31T13:56:13.216-05:00Thanks Kim.

So far, mine has given me no trouble - the Sprinter part, that is. If it has no rust, the green must be a much better quality paint than the stock white paint. Without towing, you should be able to get 23-26 mph out of it. That's as good as my outback gets. Do you have a design in mind for the build out? Lots of how to's and ideas at Sprinter-Source.com if you didn't know.Tesajehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15965295812302989459noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4260822222423395104.post-9066117402595012792013-05-31T12:07:40.430-05:002013-05-31T12:07:40.430-05:00Wow, that's BIG news!
