I just bought a 2012 Prism from Motor Home Specialist in Alvarado, TX. My wife and I have only driven it about 150 miles but are very pleased with the Prism and how it handles. My wife can drive it very easily. One reason that we chose the Prism over the Solera was that the Prism had a longer bed and the bed is wider than most of the corner bed RVs. The Mercedes-Benze chassis and motor are both excellent and it has plenty of power. The front cabin area is your basic Sprinter in terms of seat type, lack of a carpeted area, etc but we like it that way. We bought the Prism for $70,000, about $27,000 below the list price. It had only 1,300 miles on it. When we drove it from the dealer to our home near Austin, we averaged 13.5 mpg. The wind was hitting us from the side at 40 to 60 mph and we were driving about 65 mph. I'm told that the diesel mpg will improve in time but we are still pleased with this mpg. We slept in the RV for two nights at the dealership (full hookups) and the 40-60 mph winds made a little noise in the cabin but rocking of the RV was minimal. So far, we love the prism (and yes, it does have a flatter front profile than does the View and other RVs but it didn't seem to affect its handling on the road.
