Robert,
Look up the dictionary definition of "classic" ... you'll learn that what is "a bit dated" to one may be "timeless" to another.
FWIW - to be more specific - I can't stand that whimpy looking Mercedes Sprinter front end as compared to Ford's E350/E450 rugged looking cab design.
To be even more specific - my E450 rig feels like I have "something under me supporting the whole thing" - as opposed to my BIL's earlier new-at-the-time Sprinter based $$$ Interstate Class B motorhome by Airstream.
My BIL has since gotten rid of the Interstate for a variety of reasons, mainly related to poor reliability of the chassis (yes .. the Mercedes chassis) and hassles with searching for diesel fuel. He now is going to pull a brand new all fiberglass exterior small custom built TT from Canada behind a superlative new Dodge RAM PU with true air suspension all around and variable-cylinder-count V8 technology for outstanding - but high horsepower when needed - gas mileage.
