I've had one for 3 years and its been great. DIY maintenance such as oil and filter changes are simple. Depending on what type of MB based RV you're looking at will determine what you can tow. Mine is rated for 3500# due its size. Smaller units are rated for 5000#. Either one still gets great fuel mileage. They are picky about what diesel you burn, low sulpher only and no bio-diesel.
What happens when you run biodiesel, or is that just a personal preference for you? Here in IL, you'd be hard pressed to find non-bio diesel. And there are Sprinter fleet vans running everywhere.
MB warns not to use bio diesel in their engines, it stated in the owners manual. Some owners have run bio diesel but I think the reason MB says not to use it is it clogs the particulate filter and the egr valve. Check out the Sprinter forum for more info.
