Travato vs. used Leisure Travel?
I currently live full time in a 24ft Class C. I've decided to buy a Class B as my next home, and need inputs to choose between Travato 59G and used LT vans such as this 2006 Free Spirit http://www.rv...

Seems after almost a year now, reading owner's experiences on other forums, aside from a few niggling issues there's no real big problems with the ProMaster van.
The issues I'm seeing, brake squeal, (Sprinters have that too), rear spring squeaking and some body door fit issues, (we've had this with both our Sprinters, big time with the newest one), are the biggest problems owners are having. 2 recalls over brake hoses and accelerator pedal issues were on very early production vans.
The engine, gasoline one, co-designed/developed by Mercedes, and transmission are veteran products that have been around for several years now in other vehicles so they are a proven design.
ProMasters are being discounted considerably by Ram dealers now, as will the Transit be once it gets out there in quantity, so you can take the initial cost estimates down somewhat.
