  • This one will impress even the most seasoned Vanlifer...
    Our travels so far in Taiwan have revealed a massive unexpected camper van and RV community that are incredibly kind and welcoming.
    The camping culture here in Taiwan is huge and they take it very seriously with some absolutely awesome campsites and even more awesome camper conversions and unique builds.
    In a beautiful campsite in Nantou we met many new friends, one of them being the owner and builder of what we reckon could be one of the most epic camper vans we've come across.
    Meet Ducky and his incredible Mercedes 310 4x4 camper van conversion.
    This thing is truly one of a kind and we take you up close and personal on a walkthrough then hit a short trail together .
    We hope you enjoy this as much as we did.
    Join us as we travel the world overland, exploring the cultures and traditions of all the countries we visit.
    In our Land Rover Defender camper which is our full time home we will take you rock climbing, hiking and exploring across all the continents on this planet.

      @@svenvanwesterloo173 that is a very fair point! And if I'm honest I mainly compared G-wagons to defenders and land cruisers in my very short googling spree a few years back. So you are completely correct, I have very limited knowledge on this specific mercedes van, and I believe sprinters are incredibly popular overland vehicles, which probably means they aren't that expensive.
      Mercedes ofcourse also has the benifit of reliability, comfort and great coverage worldwide.

Sprinters are indeed becoming loved overland vehicles but they are very expensive, but they have exactly the advantages which you mentioned. They are well built, comfortable, great parts coverage. Also, they are available as an automatic, 4wd etc. etc. If only money wasn't an issue. ;-)
