Julie and I were looking at the new sprinter wide body series this past fall. Due to life experiences we decided to put a hold on the purchase. It turned out to be a good decision because we have only been able to go camping twice this year.
We really like the 296FWPLS floorplan. I had several concerns and one of them put a temporary stop to our purchase. I was concerned about the thin flimsy doors used for the propane compartments and the 15 inch wheels that came on the trailer without the option to factory upgrade. We stopped looking because I wanted a gray water tank with larger capacity. Something like 70+ gallons instead of the 40 it came with at the time. We were told they would start making them with larger capacity this year. I have not checked back to see if it actually happened.
Unfortunately I cannot offer any first hand experince but I feel they are a good choice for the price point. Please provide feedback once you receive the trailer and have time to use it once or twice.
