That’s exactly why I’m looking at it gemsworld. I want to do more coast to coast travel and it just seems like a much easier way to put on lots of miles on the road. I would also like to have the ability to tow the Jeep Wrangler so I don’t know if the Sprinter is capable of that. I did see several of the Sprinters towing wranglers on this last trip. Are they rated to tow that much?
They cannot tow most Wranglers even though they have a 5K hitch. We have a Rubicon and they definately cannot tow that. Subtract the GVWR from the GCWR and that is what you can tow. You may have a few hundred pounds more if you do not load the RV to the max. When we did the math, we were a LOT less than the Rubicon. The dealer kept telling us there was no problem, so we called Winnebago and they told us that the calculation we were doing was correct and we should not tow the Jeep.
We like the Sprinter and have done the math on that chassis with a number of manufacturers and they all can tow less than 4K pounds so we gave up on that chassis.
