Just reading the specs I'd say the 2.1 four cylinder is more suitable for unmodified sprinter vans used in urban setting. It would appear to me the larger V6 would be more suitable for motorhome duty with weight, wind resistance, higher speed and mountainous terrain.

x2. I'm surprised that the motorhome market is even offering the smaller engine. I imagine that the small engine is intended for light cargo/delivery applications to compete with the 2.2 diesel that will be available in the Ram Promaster.
