I can repeat what a Mercedes Sprinter engineer straight from Germany told me at the 2010 Winnebago GNR Rally during a question & answer session.
He said one of the worst things you can do to the V6 engine in this vehicle is to let it idle for more than 10 minutes at a time without driving it for a few miles. It clogs up the EGR & DPF systems which can lead to a CEL and a Limp Home Mode episode which would require a trip to a dealer to remedy.
