Starting from scratch! Which model of van do you recommend?

I just joined the site, and I have a basic (but important) question. I'm at the very beginning of buying a class B van and converting it into a simple camping and road trip vehicle. I don't plan...

Never experienced "black death", never heard of it before, either. FWIW the 2006 and 2015 Sprinters (at least) had an option for a fast idle setting, about 2000 rpm, allowing vehicles to idle for long periods of time without damage. This was intended for emergency vehicles which might sit for a long time with their lights flashing or, perhaps vehicles with refrigeration.
