    DOKA Sprinter 4x4 build

    I've been looking for the next step up from sleeping in the back of my Discovery II, but I think I may have skipped a few steps on the way...

    What's the deal with caravans?

    Something I've been wondering about for a while now... on this forum we have (almost) every kind of land-borne motorized (and some not) transport known to man... What is it about regular caravans (http://www.hobby-caravan.de/en/caravans/ for example) that make them complete no-shows? I know...
