I love our Sprinter I will say, that we opted to get a early 2012 versus a later 2012 with the new exterior. I thought that the interior of the ones with the "older style" exterior had better interior components. Such as corian countertops, additional wall borders, things such as that. All those things are relative to the preferences of the owner too, As far as durability and construction, I have no problem with the unit. Coming from a lite weight unit, this trailer has far more rigidity and bounces far less while set up than the lite weight. IMHO there is no substitute for weight.
