    What year and how many miles? I've had 2 Sprinter based RVs, both were good vehicles. Maintenance and repairs on a Sprinter are more expensive than on a Ford/Chevy/Dodge van, but the do go longer between oil changes and those diesel motors, if well maintained, will go for years beyond a domestic van.

    We have a 2005 LTV diesel Sprinter van that we bought new and now have just over 150K miles on it. Would buy the same RV again if we were to do it over again. Average MPG over those miles has been 21 MPG and that is over many mountains in our many long trips two of which were to Alaska.

    I sent you a PM but it doesn't show as being sent on my RV.net private messages. If you didn't get it, send me your email address via a PM and I will send you a copy of the maintenance log on our LTV.
