Mercedes has come out with a gas Sprinter. Are any of the RV manufacturers using it yet?
Nope. Mercedes-Benz don't have the gas engine available on the cab and chassis Sprinter models; it's only on the lower-spec van bodies. It's also a pretty small engine for the vehicle, a 2.0L four cylinder gas engine, producing 188 horsepower at 5000 rpm. In a motorhome it would be a whiney slug.
Yeah right - my first diesel was 150 hp/225# torque. These new gas engines are superior in just about every way.
