Hi,
Why diesel? Ford V-10 is more or less bullet proof, and inexpensive to repair compared to diesel.
I met a Canadian couple, that had traveled extensively in a Sprinter based rig, when I was in Mexico a couple of years ago. They loved it.
They had traveled all over the US and Mexico and had averaged around 20 mpg.
Regarding longevity, I have been watching sprinter based box trucks and see quite a few with over 300k miles listed as "runs and drives great".
My V10 didn't do quite as well.....
