You can lift some of them using steel ramps and/or bottle jacks, to give you more clearance underneath. Some have good clearance and some don't.
I did a class B van for almost a decade, and they can be serviced at most dealerships without seeking specialized facilities for larger motorhomes, they are nimble, good on fuel, usually get you around HOA parking restrictions, and fit under the overhang in many drive-thrus, although the taller Sprinters probably don't. Mine was a converted Chev Express 3500, and it did. It fit in places larger motorhomes could not.
Our main issue with it, that we learned to tolerate was that it was "small, and compact". Space, storage, are scarce. Very few of them have a dry bath.
If you can get over the loss of the storage and elbow room, and using a wet bath, you might like it. I would try one first, if you can, before committing to one.
