Hey volks,

Sorry for the cross post.  If you have experience with Sprinters, Westfalias
or living full time in an auto RSVP.

Stats: I live in the PacNW of the u.S.of Amerika. Have two children with me
every other weekend.  I plan to stealth in my neighborhood in which I've
lived for the past 4 years.

Most places I habit daily/weekly are in a 3~5mi radius (mailbox, storage,
24hr Fitness, work, library, et cetera). I work 8 to 5 and have a very
flexible
schedule both hourly and weekly. I travel 10~20mi for entertainment 1 or 2x
weekly and 85mi 1 way to fetch the children every other weekend.

I've narrowed my auto search to two units: '90 SubieVanagon w/poptop or an
'06 Sprinter (158" wheel base). I'm a little torn because I love Vanagons
but I
know the Sprinter will be much more roomy and I'll be able to build to suit.
Of course the Sprinter costs 3x as much as the VW. The Subie is in very good
condition and I'll likely not find another like it for awhile but the
Sprinter is in mint condition, insulated and paneled. At this time I'm
leaning to the High Top, LWB, Sprinter, given how much more easily it will
be to change clothes and use the toilet and the fact that I won't need/have
to pay for storage with it.

Please give your frank thoughts on this matter.
