Clean Trucks? Electric Truck?

I think you should open a university or something. How do you know all of this?? Another fantastic idea.

Tricky part is, I don't think Mercedes makes any RVs. They go off to conversion, right?

I did see it allows a full year to tour Europe before the Mercedes needs to be brought to the States.

I was born in Europe (Poland) and am fascinated by European vacations for years. Did it the "hard way" in 2001, with rental car, covering 9 countries, but at the time cheap hotels run for $150 and finding one with attached bathroom was a challenge.
Too bad the only new Mercedes we ever bought was made in ... Alabama.
The Sprinters are made by Mercedes (again as they used to be made by Fiat few years ago), but it is not Mercedes who does conversion.
Stil tax rules apply to each imported vehicle and if you think you will go for new one, check how private import works.
Taxes in Europe can be as high as 30-40% and even we don't see them on stickers, they are not much lower on new vehicles in USA.
Lot of money can be saved if you figure out the system.
Talking about European weather again - the "hot" areas are along Mediterranean Sea, which have always some breeze.
I spend 2 summers in Greece, with tents and cooling was never an issue. Those were the years when a bottle of Metaxa cost $1, so long time ago ;)
Suppose lately Europe has global warming, so that should be taken under consideration.
