ride here for the truck then when you're parked you can set up the pedestal table sit and have a
quick snack before you head out on the next trail when you get back why not use this as a place to

fold in on both the passenger and the driver's side over here you do have controls for your
headlights just set it to auto and they will automatically come on when it gets dark down
below you do have controls for your light bar that is right up on the roof so let's talk
about everything we have going on here because there are a lot of buttons on the steering wheel
you do have a lot of gauges here you have a couple of stalks this one controls your wipers and your
directionals this is your gear shift you have paddle shifters as well we'll play with all the
toys once we get out on the road this also is a tilt and telescoping wheel so you can go ahead
and put it exactly where you want it make it comfortable for your drive you have a
lot happening here in the dashboard yes you have your tachometer and your speedometer and you have
warning lights for everything from your tire pressure to your traction control
seat belt reminders but in the center you have this multi-function display that is controlled
right over here by your steering wheel it has touch pads you control like you would your tablet
home button takes you back home you can see service drivers assist you can go through and
adjust those settings you have your trip meter you have navigation you have your radio your phone
this is bluetooth capable you also have a number of settings you can go through and control as well
down below that you do have controls for your cruise control and adjustments for your
adaptive cruise control as well the controls over here on the right side control your 10
and a quarter inch infotainment center this thing is loaded first and foremost it is voice activated
hi mercedes how may i help you and just like that so let's scroll through the dash here we
have a number of options here you can connect your phone via bluetooth you have navigation you have
radio be it siriusxm satellite radio be it local channels you also have apple carplay android auto
this will let you know when your phone is connected you have a lot of information
here about your vehicle when you're out on the road you simply touch that and you can check out
your engine your consumption your owner's manual whatever you need right here at your fingertips
you have a number of apps you can access you'll also have a settings button and this is where you
get into it and you can control and adjust the safety features we're going to talk about once
we get underway let's talk about the hard buttons down below this will bring up your backup camera
at any time your map your telephone your radio your volume this will take you back home this will
bring up these settings this is how you power the system on and off this will skip tracks down below
you do have your hvac controls pretty standard your hazard lights are right there in the middle
a lot of cup holders down below and that's one of the things i love about this is there is storage
everywhere yes you have cup holders here you have cup holders on the dash two over here you have two
over on the passenger side and perhaps one of my favorite features and this is great if you
are into safety and technology because it is all combined into one there's a center console here
you go ahead pop that open you can put your phone in there it will wirelessly charge it will connect
to your system and you have a number of usb ports so it's a great way for hands-free
calls and radio and navigation whatever you like just pop your phone in there keep it charged you
will love having that safety feature on board with you especially when you get into some tough
off-road situations which is where we are going to take this because this is an unbelievably capable
vehicle we are going to hit the push button start and get this sanctuary out on the highway i love
the sanctuary more each time i drive it this is such a capable vehicle i have taken it into places
most of you never will a lot of it starts with the powertrain so let's talk about that it is a three
liter turbo diesel v6 188 horsepower at 3800 rpm and 325 pound-feet of torque from 1400 to 2400 rpm
perfect for putting the hammer down on the highway or when you are off-road
let's talk a little bit about that torque curve because it starts down so low and that is really
going to help you out when you are on those trails because your torque comes on at 1400 rpm which is
right above an idle you are going to get the power to the wheels especially when you are in four low
a great power band wouldn't work without a great transmission this is a quick shifting seven-speed
transmission and there are benefits to having seven gears one you're going to get better fuel
economy you're going to get a quieter ride you can control your gear selection by either using
the stock you also have paddle shifters right here on the steering wheel i could sit here all day and
talk to you about how capable this van is so let's show you some off-road video of the sanctuary
where we talk about the 4x4 system this works differently than if you had a locking differential
the sanctuary uses the electronic traction system it's also called four ets so what happens here is
you break one or more of your wheels loose it is going to apply the brakes to stop that wheel from
spinning giving you power to your wheels providing you with great traction now remember when you
are in 4x4 your power is going to be split up a little different between your front and your rear
your front tires are going to get 35 percent of that your rear wheels are going to get 65
your sanctuary comes standard with a ton of safety features one of them is adaptive cruise control
i have that on as we speak once you have this set your camper van is going to speed up or slow down
based on the vehicle in front of you and if it needs to step in and bring you to a complete stop
it can do that active braking assist is another great feature to have it will give you a heads
up of oncoming dangers and apply the brakes for you so let's say it picks up a collision with a
vehicle or a person it doesn't matter it gives you a warning and says hey you're not taking action
we're going to so your sanctuary will come to a complete stop before you can even react when was
the last time you thought about your windshield wipers probably don't think about them until they
start smearing and streaking your windshield well this has a wet wiper system what that
does is spray the wiper fluid straight out of the wiper and cleans your windows for you there's also
a sensor that automatically detects how often the wipers will clear the window when it detects rain
if you're taking your sanctuary on an off-road pass you're going to like having hill start assist
what this does is apply brake pressure for you for two seconds it keeps you from rolling backwards or
forwards and it works from the time you take your foot off the brake and move it to the gas pedal
no problem driving in bad weather in the sanctuary here because you do have cross wind assist when
the sanctuary picks up a strong breeze trying to push you into that next lane it actually jumps in
so you do not cross the center line but let's say you do cross the center line oh that's where this
next feature comes in it is active lane keeping assist you're gonna get a visual and audio warning
when you drift across the line if need be it will apply the brakes so you stay in your own lane so
we've all had those road trips where we think i can go for another hour i can go for another
half hour when you do that you'll be glad you have attention assist what it does is keep track
of your driving patterns it looks for signs of you being sleepy if it picks up you're driving
drowsy you're actually going to get a warning that is your cue to pull over and take a rest
this next little feature i really like and it's really handy when you're exploring new towns it's
called traffic sign assist and what it is going to do is show you on your dashboard the speed
limit it will keep up and let you know right now it is 65 miles per hour go ahead set your adaptive
cruise control and stay right at the proper speed nothing's worse than a traffic jam we've all been
there right stop go stop go this next feature is perfect for that it is the hold function
this actually allows you to take your foot off the brake and stay stopped when you are stuck in
traffic or if you are at a very long life how to make sure it's on just take press in your brake
you'll see the word hole pop up on the dash it's set and you can take your foot off the brake and
not roll forward we showed you the switch for your auto headlights you also have headlight assistance
on this what that does is automatically switch between your high beams and low beams for you
a couple things i want to talk about here let's hope you do not need to use them up top in this
console here with your map lights you do have an sos button you can press if you need help
you also have emergency call this system will automatically detect a crash and call for help
for you your sanctuary also comes standard with the parking package and you will appreciate this
especially when you are in reverse look at this video here notice the grid lines on the screen
they move with you so you will have no problems backing into that tight cam space where we
are going we're going to pull in nose first we can walk around the outside of this camper van
now that was a fun road trip and if you plan on getting into some gnarly situations
you might want to option in the off-road tires but both floor plans do come with these big
beefy non-slip running boards so there's a very good chance you'll be setting up like this out
here in the middle of nowhere that's where you're going to love the reliable battery system it comes
standard on every sanctuary with this single battery setup you now have 5500 watts and 400
amp hours of power the reliable battery system also equips your sanctuary with a 3 000 watt pure
sine inverter a 160 amp 12 volt battery charger it also has a 170 amp high output alternator
and on the roof you'll find 190 watts of solar to help keep those batteries topped off and when you
are powering down those trails at night there is a roof mounted light bar to show you the way
just use the magnetic thule ladder to take the cover off there are going to be days
where you feel just like hanging out at camp the sanctuary is down with that which is why
you have this awesome flip out table there's a 120 volt outlet and usb ports back here as well
you can sit out here listen to your favorite music or podcast on the bluetooth jbl flip speaker you
can put out the thule awning using rapid camp plus set up the grill and connect it to the exterior
propane connection then when you feel like going on another excursion take the bikes off the thule
bike rack and hit the trails or bike into town just remember it's going to be a long ride back
