Mr Snowman,

Sure, one example:

Me, I'm a B only fellow.

Our Aspect is on the Ford E-450 chassis.
So far has been treating us well.
Has manages the west cost hills very well.

I don't know if OP is talking about new, but... Are there any B+'s made on a Chevy right now? I know there are several C's on Chevy's, but I'm drawing a blank on any new B+'s. FWIW, we loved driving our 2005 Trail Lite B+ on the Chevy.

Agree with the Chevrolet.

Less expense than a Sprinter, period - over however many miles. Better handling than a the Ford, etc. No Brainer, the Chevrolet.

I have started shopping for a Class B+ and it seems that the 2 most popular chassis are the Sprinter/diesel and the Ford/V10. I would like to hear pros and cons about both. I plan to do some mountain driving but I would not be towing anything.

I looked at the pros and cons of both... and chose a Chevy.

And yes, this will certainly be moved to the C Board because B+'s are not B's, they are C's.

This is often discussed. Technically a class B+ is a "C", so this post likely will wind up in the "C" forum eventually.

Pros of a Sprinter:

MPG.
Good suspension.
No doghouse.
Keeps its horsepower when in the mountains.

Cons of a Sprinter:

Mercedes prices when it comes to repairs.
Finding service bays can be tough. Sprinters are too big for a lot of M-B dealers, too small for the Freightliner depots.
Higher initial cost of chassis.

Pros of the Ford chassis:

Less initial money.
Tried and true, pretty much unchanged except to shake the bugs out.
Fixable almost anywhere.
You usually will get a gasoline generator, which means more run time in general.

Cons:
More fuel used.
