We just wanted to maintain our working headlights because they were randomly screwed and glued to the roof. After removing the silicone we found a big, rusty hole! We had to find a solution for this.
Our Sprinter was already equipped with two rear working headlights. The two headlights were working great, but we did not like how they were attached to the roof. They were raggedly, and a little crooked, ...
Before traveling to the land of opportunity, quite some formalities have to be taken care of. We are applying for a US-Visa - because not matter for how long or what purpose, to travel to the United States, you have to get a travel authorization beforehand.
We already wrote about the Visa Waiver Program and the difference of ESTA and Visa and also answered the question why we choose to apply for a ...
But we did not quite dare to drill and cut holes in our Sprinter all by ourselves.
When it comes to the conversion of the Sprinter, Jan is the expert. He already spent countless hours researching and planning everything out. I on the other hand do not know much about materials and do not have any crafting skills. I trust Jan, and during this conversion I will be the little helper. Without a doubt, Jan ...
If you’re a non-US citizen and want to travel to the United States, you have to apply for some sort of travel authorization before arrival; but the final decision of entry is still made by the border official at the airport of arrival. What kind of travel authorizations are available and which do we chose?
Visa-free entry via Visa Waiver Program (ESTA) The Visa Waiver Program grants ...

May we introduce – our travel companion, our new home, our Sprinter! At first sight, it is just a used cargo van, but to us it is the base for our overland camper. Let us show you the layout and our ideas for the conversion.
It took us quite some time to decide which would be the best basic vehicle for us and our PanAm-travel-plans. We choose to get a Mercedes Sprinter for different reasons: bigger ...
You know Murphy’s Law “Everything that can go wrong will go wrong” – at a short notice we had to manage quite some difficulties.
Maybe you read about our first obstacle with the insurance on how we got our Sprinter: For the registration of a vehicle, you get 2 evB-numbers form your future car insurance company; the first number is for the temporary 5-day registration and the second number for the final ...
One of the most important documents that will accompany us and document our travels – getting our new passports!
Another thing on our to-do-list was to have our pictures taken, not the pretty ones but the biometric ones. So we went to our local photo studio to get 4 biometric photos for a new passport and 4 photos to apply for a US-Visa, the photographer usually knows the requirements for this kind of ...
…that worked well for us while buying our Sprinter.
This is the result of our research about what to pay attention to when you want to buy a used car, but you are literally a “car-amateur” and don’t want this to be to your disadvantage.
We do own a car, and it actually is a used car, but my dad is really into cars and he helped pick it out. And he gave good advice; the car is very reliable, within the ...
After one year of planning, thinking and dreaming this one day pretty much changed our lives and paved the road to our future. We spontaneously drove to Bavaria to look at a Sprinter, and now it is standing in front of our door, ready to be converted.
We still can´t believe it – we really purchased our Spinter!!
Within the last months we spent a lot of time thinking about what kind of vehicle would be the ...
Thinking about making this trip on the Pan-American Highway and finally deciding to really go ahead and do it, took us quite some time. But as soon as the decision was made we had to ask ourselves how we want to travel or rather how we want to get from A to B.
Because we want to travel freely, independently and without worries, we decided we want to travel with our own vehicle. This took us to the next ...
