Many of us want to experience the outdoors in all its moods and seasons. But sometimes that means enduring chilly or hot conditions. Therefore, our home on the road needs to be a reliable sanctuary from these weather extremes. We Southern Arizonans have one of the most challenging environments in the U.S., so we get to practice our heat-management skills often! For instance, over the last three weeks we have had numerous days that ranged from 104 to 109 degrees. The upside is that the intensity of Tucson’s summer heat has allowed MVAV to design and thoroughly test the strategies and technologies that we use to keep our Sprinters cool and comfy no matter the extremes of the weather.

4WD: Is it 4 You?

Check out the latest progress from MVAV's Oregon build team! High demand meant they had to bump the timeline on two brand-new 2019 DIY Sprinter builds, in addition to keeping the Premium line builds on schedule.

Watch the overhead cabinets being installed, and don't miss the chance to see behind the walls of our Sprinter vans. Through and through, we use the highest quality components to deliver the absolute best Sprinter experience on the market today.

Two months ago, the COVID virus rudely interrupted our world. So many elements of our life were put on hold due to the unprecedented changes and challenges. We were shocked and scared as everything seemed to disappear…our jobs, schools, restaurant visits, entertainment, vacations, and of course, toilet paper!

As Sprinter owners, we have the freedom to choose where we camp. Throughout America's public lands, we have the ability to overland travel to remote destinations and places inaccessible to most.

Take a look behind the scenes at Mountain View Adventure Vehicles build shop, located in Southern Oregon. The crew is currently working on 4 builds: A DIY-style DS-144, a premium, extended 170, a Premium-Line PH-144 and PH-170. Post up your questions in the comment box below and we'll address them in the next episode! 

My earliest memories are of wheels. Wheels on toy cars, wheels on tricycles, and wheels on bicycles. Why? Simply put, wheels represented freedom to me. They took me places. They allowed my imagination to run wild and to fulfill my dreams.
