A small class C would cost a bundle less than the roadtrek.
It's the sizing for Europe roads. Wider than 7.25' is a real issue over there, especially if one wants to visit the smaller villages. Narrower is better. I think the Sprinters are only 6'8" wide. The mid size "class C"s in Europe, called semi-integrated, are about 7'3" wide max (like the Hymer 522s). That's about as wide as I'll go and no longer than 22, with 20 being better. Less is more over there.
My goal is to get a Mercedes or VW basis so it could be worked on anywhere in the world, as I might also drive this one down as far as I can get in South America. But I'm not sure I'll find a Mercedes in my budget of around $30-40 all in, including solar, generator and a few toys.
I've been reading about the Winnebago Rialta on the VW basis, which seems interesting.
