Thanks NCWriter. Been reading the forum for quite a while and decided to join now that we own a Class B. I must say that your previous posts had a positive influence on our purchase. It was between a 2008 Roadtrek 190 Versatile and the 2006 LTV Free Spirit 210B. The LTV had less mileage (38,000) and we kind of liked the 22 MPG compared to the 7 or 8 we were getting with our 37 foot Class A.

Glad to have helped lure you over to the dark side. The 2006 is serving us well, as we have been and hope to continue traveling long distances each year to see the US and Canada. A great trip up to Atlantic Canada last summer, lots of miles. Enjoyed NB for a week.
You probably already know about a minor plastic part called the turbo resonator that can break and cause Sprinters to go into Limp Home Mode. It's easy to get a metal replacement one online and a simple install, so if the previous owner didn't, you may want to replace it before a big trip. Good for peace of mind.
