Sprinter chassie questions
My wife and I have a 2012 Road Trek 190 Popular which we dearly love. However, we are now thinking a little more room would be nice. We feel that our 6.0 L Chevy engine is bullet proof and I am not so...

The problem is only a problem to those delivery companies. The drivers could not care less that their vans idle a bit higher. Especially since they aren't even in the van when the motor is at high idle in the first place.
To everyone else, it is a non-issue. Well, except to those whose lives are enriched by attempting to make it a problem....
A non issue? I don't think so. Check out the Sprinter forums - you'll see that a lot of Sprinter owners (non delivery drivers), are facing the infamous 'black death' caused by idling. You'll also see long discussions about rust issues, limp home mode, transmission woes, alternator problems, fuel injector problems and much more.
Anyone who owns or is thinking about buying a Sprinter should check out the forums at Sprinter Source. Find them at http://sprinter-source.com/forum/forumdisplay.php?s=0c59784135484e336e9cdba1fbaad310&f=3
I've owned two Sprinters - both were T1N's, and both had numerous problems. And yes, the owner's manual says to avoid extended idling.
