5 Reasons Why this Mercedes Sprinter Sportsmobile Wins the Internet

Our friends over at Jalopnik recently got to spend the night in the new Mercedes-Benz Sprinter, and they only had good things to say about the ridiculous off-road kitted van. However, we don’t think they went far enough. So here are five more reasons why this MB motor-home is better than most regular motor-homes.

1. It’s a Mercedes With a Mercedes Diesel

The Sprinter will last forever. The engine will go on for years and years and years, then finally end up in some third world country in Africa where it will continue to last long after the rest of the world has died off from the coming zombie invasion.

2. It Can Survive a Zombie Invasion

Because this specific one has been kitted out with off-road parts including a snorkel, this Mercedes was built to get you out of whatever city you become stuck in when the hoards of zombies first strike. But it doesn’t always have to be running from a zombie hoard; the Sprinter also works when you just want to see the rest of the country, or go camping.

3. Pop Up Tent for the WIN!

Pop up tents are always a good thing. Why? Because you don’t have to set anything up on the ground where all the bugs, snakes, scorpions, and other gross creatures are hanging out. It’s camping, but much more civilized. And this Mercedes Sprinter takes that to a whole other level.

4. The Sprinter Sportsmobile Is a Self-Contained Adventure Unit

That means you get a sink, a microwave, and a small, but usable potty. Yes a potty, because it definitely isn’t a bathroom. It’s a small, squat seat, that’s just enough to give you some semblance of modern amenities without going full native. Also, potty is fun to say.

5. It’s Cheaper than Most Purpose Built Motor-Homes

Ok, so it’s not Ford Fiesta cheap, but when you consider that most motor-homes are well into the $200-$400,000 range, then the Sprinter Sportsmobile’s $100,000 asking price isn’t all that bad. It’s still a lot, but if you really wanted to, you could live in this. Easily. And when the zombie invasion happens, you’ll be glad you did.

If you aren’t sold on the Mercedes Sprinter Sportsmobile, then you’re dead inside; you don’t deserve to live on this planet anymore and I hope the zombies eat you.
