I need to take a closer look when I'm in the Austin shop this week, but a quick glance revealed some kind of caulking or something around the penetration I walked by on our van.

4x4 Sprinter Getting Dirty
As I debated going for a Sprinter SMB, I had a lot of trouble finding and decent videos of someone really putting a 4x4 sprinter through its paces off road. There were reviews and other semi-staged...

Water flow control on the kitchen sprayer?
Can you turn the water flow off via a button on the kitchen sprayer? Like if you've got it pulled out several feet can you use the end to control of if the water is on/off?
