Wondering Star
Admittedly it's a niche market and dependent on the type of van Life you want.I wonder if AWD makes more sense…?
I’ve never quite understood the 4x4 aspect with a Sprinter. Seems like the wrong tool to me…
Personally I didn't want the additional costs involved with 4x4 for my kind use at that time however in the future I plan to travel to more remote locations where 4x4 would a "nice to have' and offer a degree of reassurance .
AWD may be the sweet spot, however what AWD takes away is the ability to drag your self out of difficult situations.
If bogged down in a 4x4 you engage low gear / dif lock, with AWD there's no second chance option.
