I've also heard that the Sprinter is very expensive when facing any repairs. Who has learned information on what might be a good choice of simila...

I'm looking for some suggestions on how to listen to music while camped.
I don't want anything that draws power from the chassis or house batteries. ie it has to have it's own rechargeable battery.
I want to load my own music on to it. ie is not a radio.
We just like to sit and read at night with music play...
