I like RV's alot, theyre a neat idea, and having one builton a sprinter van would be preferrabble, but whats wiith the cheesy graphics theyre alwways flashing around... looks like thhe peoople in chharge of designing thhe outside- paint colors, striipes, etc. got stuck in thhe early too mid 90's!
The coolest motorhome ive ever seen is the BMW Vixen... no othher RV looks anythhing like it!

Well fellas, speak up!
All this Chrysler/MB cross-dressing has yielded a Mercedes diesel powered RV. Maybe there are a few good things that came from the takeover of '98.

Looks pretty nice. Finally a reasonably sized RV with diesel power on a decent chassis. Should be a winner. RT

I agree on the Vixen. I've been in one. They are very expensive and parts would be a nightmare. That's why I went for my 409d. It's just about the same length as the Vixen but much taller.
For comparison purposes can anyone estimate the fuel economy for a similar sized motorhome to the Sprinter but built on a Dodge pickup chassis with the Cummins diesel? Would it also get around 19mpg? My neighbor has told me he gets better than that in his mid 90's Dodge diesel pickup.

Answer: A Dodge Cummins turbo diesel motorhome appears to get around 14-15 mpg. Here's a story:
