We have an '08 Winne on an '07 chassis. No problems at all. Just normal maintenance, which is no more costly than other brands, with the exception of oil changes.

As for fuel mileage -- yes, you can't beat a Sprinter, but they do cost more to buy. I tell people *don't* buy a Sprinter-based MH merely because of fuel mileage. Instead, consider it if you want a small MH that rides and handles better than anything else out there, while making less cabin noise/heat in a cabin that is much more expansive in all directions than the others.
