I'm new to this class B world (purchased a 2008 Roadtrek 210 popular) 2 months ago. We have a big trip coming up in the fall, but so far, we like it. One item to consider is repairs when you do travel. Depending on where you travel, repairs could be pretty difficult to get. I was originally thinking Sprinter, but read of the horror stories of some of them with the emissions issues. We went to Alaska last fall and if nobody knows, there's hundreds of miles of nothing and between smallish towns, and getting a Mercedes serviced may be an issue. That's why I was primarily targetting the Chevy chassis, because you can nearly walk out of a gas station with parts for them as the chassis is still made today. I also wanted newer than a 2003 chassis so I got the current engine technology, the 6.0L. There will be a price to pay for fuel economy, but we should be ok.
