Trade my old Sprinter for a new one?

I had the 2007 Roadtrek SS (06 Sprinter) and now have 2012 Roadtrek SS (2011 Sprinter). I traded the 07 for a 2011 Winnebago View, which I hated. I traded that for the 2012 RT SS. That said, I really like the '12 because it handles better and has more power. It seems a little better in windy conditions. I also had trouble with the turbo resonator on the '07. I do not like having to think about the DEF fluid, and where I will get it, etc. for the '12. The '07 was serviced by Dodge and the '12 by Mercedes. I have to travel about 3 hours to a Mercedes Sprinter dealer. The Dodge Sprinter dealer was 1 hour away.

I am curious as to why you hated the 2011 View.I am looking at that year View Profile with the Bedroom slide.It seems like a good unit.

Thanks

The View was nicely outfitted, etc., but I like being able to use the RT daily, if I want. The View was a dually and I did not like the way it drove. I had problems with the steps refusing to come out on a long trip in the middle of nowhere. I kept worrying that the slide (a side one) would refuse to come in after talking to people who had had that happen. The best camper I ever had was a Northern Lite truck camper on a big Dodge deisel truck. It could go anywhere. Had to sell it after my husband died. I could get it off the truck, but had too much trouble getting it on there! The Roadtrek just suits me now--it's really a B vs a C choice regarding the View.
