you gotta roll with the times

Good tires and brakes, a less-than-5-yr-old battery, reasonably fresh fluids. Drive it!

For reference:

We just completed a 15,000 mile, 30 state USA tour in a MB Sprinter based RV. MB is not well known for long term reliability but this rig was nearly flawless for 5 months. We did develop a slight exhaust leak on the home stretch but it looks like it will get covered under an emissions recall at no cost. I brought a lot of tools and spares just in case but they mostly were unnecessary.

Cheers!

Would be really cool if you could share your adventure in a separate thread, perhaps in the Off Topic forum.

Would love to learn more about your experience as I am looking to do a cross country trip when it's safe to do so, a combination of mixed driving through Canada and the US. Thanks in advance!
