Good point about the weight. The Malayan used a household AC unit and apparently it draws less and can go a while as compared to a typical RV AC. The Tiger probably has more living space per RV...

SMB v Tiger Adventure Vehicle

I am mostly posting this for others who might be looking at Tigers. I took a close look at the Tigers which are built on a truck body. Great vehicle, but the layout did not work for me. One...

I always thought of skid plates as standard off road gear. Even "easy" trails can have tricky spots. And I don't know about the rest of you, but I have been known to make a mistake. One negative...

Well, I talked to SMB today, and the salesguy said yes, the diesel is pretty loud. The V10 is better, but still, you are sitting next to the engine. The Sprinter is much quieter. I would rather...

Some yeas ago, an SMB owner was kind enough to show me his SMB diesel van. From inside the van I found the engine to be very loud. Like get in the way of conversation loud. Did that ever get...

That is it. Yankee Boy Basin. I have not measured it either, but am skeptical the tall Sprinter would make it. It is also not exactly of uniform height.

I like to drive a couple of trails near Ouray. One, if I recall correctly, is called the Last Dollar. Most of it you could do in a Civic, but there are always a few parts that are tougher. I am...

Thanks for the info! I would say that I would want it to tackle a tough forest road, but no more.

Sprinter 4x4--what can it handle? Service?

Years ago I looked at SMBs, but could not quite afford new and could never find a used one I like. Fast forward, I can now afford more. For a while, I focused on the Tigers, but they are very pricy...

SMB Sprinter Owner in Indiana

Yesterday I rediscovered SMB, and there was someone with a Sprinter SMB in Indiana with a separate site with pix. Now for some reason I can't find him. Anyone happen to know who that is?

Re: Seeking RV Insurance for 4WD New SMB

This has been an interesting thread. I am in the market for an SMB. I live half the year in MD and half in CA. Looks like I should license it in MD to avoid the CA headaches (not to mention the...

Ford v. Dodge v. Chevy

It is interesting to look at the 3 SMB sites and what they show for used SMB's. In CA, it is almost all Ford diesel 4x4's. But elsewhere you see a lot of Chevy's and Dodges, usually 2WD? This...

Re: What are people paying for used SMB's?

I have been watching SMBs for a while, and it seems they are mostly not selling. Given these are high-priced items, it could be a little like houses. Housing prices tend to be sticky for a while,...

Re: What are people paying for used SMB's?

Irony understood. If the vans were selling near the asked prices, than that would be persuasive evidence that they are worth more than I think. But that does not seem to be the case. I have been...

Re: What are people paying for used SMB's?

I completely agree with you that the reason people want SMBs is their capacity to get away from it all, as far as I know unique. A Roadtrek, for example, with its low clearance, is mostly a pavement...

Quigley v Quadvan v SMB v etc. part 2

Re: SMB rental

I have looked at some other models, but what always brings me back to an SMB is the four wheel drive/high clearance. I like to get away from it all and won't always be on pavement.
