We bought a Sprinter

After 5 years of looking and talking about a Sprinter van, we finally placed an order in Aug 2011, now we just had to wait until it was built and shipped from Germany (est delivery early Dec 2011). The Get Away Van has served us well, but it was time for an upgrade and something with a little more room. We went back and forth about whether we should have someone convert it to an RV or do it ourselves. In the end, Kevin decided he could do a better job and it would be exactly what we wanted. So after visiting a few local dealers and reading info about them on the Yahoo Sprinter Group, we hooked up with David Graham of Mercedes-Benz of Georgetown, Texas. Dave was very helpful and in the end offered the best price. We would recommend Dave to anyone looking to buy a Sprinter, it is worth the trip to Texas.

We picked up our van Dec 12, 2011. We spent a couple of days in Austin with our friend John Meyer checking out the music scene and then headed off for home the long way.
