Does chassis make matter for parts?
I'm mostly asking for C's, but I'd be curious for B's as well. Specifically, does it affect availability/price of parts and service providers? (In the US)

We were focused on a Sprinter chassis RV as well. Did some research and found a list on-line of dealers that would service them. Seemed like a pretty thorough list. Can't speak for part cost but, it is a M-B and anyone buying one shouldn't be shocked at cost...it sort of goes with the territory!
In the end, we choose a unit that just happened to be on a Chevy chassis. Mostly for the space and layout. (DW's primary objective!)Handling and power were my major concerns and this unit checked the majority of our boxes. As I mentioned earlier, warranty service seems to be the challenge, at least in our area. Unfortunately, GM doesn't appear to publish a list of dealers capable of servicing their chassis used as an RV. Or, at least I haven't been able to locate such a list. Granted, there are many independent shops capable, and hopefully willing, of working on the GM stuff...our challenge will to find one when we need them! I suspect regardless of chassis, we all face a similar challenge when repairs are called for.
