    Mercedes has history of relabeling other manufacturer's products for generations.
    Years ago we had broken serpentine belt on Mercedes and huge dealer in Tennessee had big selection of MB-branded golf clubs, huge selection of MB-branded T-shirt, huge selection of wrist watches, but they did not have belt for my MB car.
    Wonder who camper real manufacturer is, just like we know that Ford campers are actually Lance.
    Slim chances it has anything to do with Mercedes factory.
    But anyway, Mercedes for years offers "European delivery" for their cars manufactured in Germany. Very nice program that allows you to have short vacations in Europe while driving your own car, see your vehicle leaving assembly lane and still save money in the process by avoiding US new vehicle taxes. Only disadvantage that back on US soil you have to wait few days for your vehicle to be shipped to your local MB dealer.
    If that set would qualify, that would open whole new opportunity.
    My 3-years old MB sedan makes 60 mpg on highway driving, so even if new pickup will make only 40+, that would still beat lot of US competition.

    It is a German Truck Camper manufacturer. The Class B motorhomes are factory fitouts

  • Nothing new. This is the modified Nissan with Mercedes badging. Like was posted previously, Ford, GM and Jeep have optioned campers with their vehicles over the years.
