Coachmen Prism anyone?
Looking for any user reviews/info on this line...or comparison to the Fleetwood Pulse. The floor plan suits us and we want a diesel, but I'm having trouble finding comments from anyone who has/had on...

Thanks, tatest, for your detailed comments.
Prism looks a little taller, wider, less aerodynamic than other C's on the Sprinter chassis. Have you looked at any of those from Winnebago, Forest River, or Fleetwood? We have looked at many of these others. It is the floor plan of the CM Prism and the Fleetwood Pulse that are attractive to us. They both do appear taller & wider…hence they actually have some basement storage space…the other models have minimal storage.
Another small motorhome on Sprinter chassis to look at would be Winnebago's Via,
similar in size and performance to View, Prism or a Sprinter Jamboree/Tioga, but with the front seats incorporated into the living area, rather than being lost space except while driving. That can make a big difference in a small motorhome.The Prism front seats also swivel.
RV Trader shows Prisms in stock at RV World, Lakeland and Nokomis stores. RV World also has Views in stock, new and used, for a same-day comparison. We have been to the Nokomis store many times…live just a few miles from there.
I've liked working with Dreamland, in Bradenton, who carries Thor lines, but they don't show any Sprinter C's in their current stock. Thor does make Freedom Elite…available only at Camping World…and they also make Four Winds Siesta…same as the Elite.
We have several variables that are key for us…a fixed bed…an over cab entertainment system rather than a bunk, a sofa & table rather than a booth dinette…and usable storage underneath. It may take some time before we find a resale with all these :)
