[QuadList] OT: How to move a VPR-80 in a sidecar cabinetwithouta truck or trailer--AVR 2 Next??

[bill.spencer at northstarstudios.tv]

The one we have has a lot of stuff on the roof like a 2.4m satellite
antenna so it doesn't fit in the garage either, but it handles well on
the road with all the gear loaded for a two camera shoot.  Also, whether
it is a Dodge, Freightliner or Mercedes they are all Mercedes except for
the grill and some name appliques!  I built several small OB vans
overseas using the 8m Mercedes chassis and they are just superb.

Hi, Bill...

That's a good idea.

The Sprinter is one of the vehicles I've done some on-line research  
about. I need to take a test drive with a fully-loaded vehicle.

  Do you regularly drive one?

The tall version would be fine for the Vario's height... but I'd miss  
not being able to park in a lot of hotel and institutional parking  
garages which are vertically limited.  As it is, I sometimes duck when  
driving the Mountaineer =:O)
