New Sprinter motorhome with diesel

[moose888]

A friend of mine is looking at Sprinter type motorhomes is there any one type he should look at more than another ? He's looking at 24 foot long with diesel motor and plans on towing a small car of some type (smart car, fiat) . I'm not sure witch one is the best and has the least problems. It's just him and his wife and they are NEW to the motorhome world.

A Sprinter RV will easily tow a Fiat 500 or a Smart. I tow a Chevy Tracker 2 door.

The single best resource for Sprinter class C stuff I have found is here: LINK

Just my opinion, I would get a winnebago product. I have had a few motorhomes and I liked the Winnebagos in the past and currently

any sprinter with the mercede benz diesel is going to cost a penny more ,we have a leisure travel van . runs great we love the rv, but theres others out there. LTV is at the top of the quality line. we won,t go back to a ford,, chevy ,,or dodge. once you see how much leg room there is in a sprinter and the mpg you,ll know why.

Lots of factors involved. Almost all Sprinters will be 24 feet long, and likely 3500-5000 pounds of towing capacity (make sure to check on this, and be SURE you can get a transmission cooler if towing even a small car.)

If I had to go with a Sprinter based class C, I'd probably start out at the local dealers and check what they have.

Don't forget, in a year or two, you will be seeing Ford's and Dodge's new van chassis models. They get roughly the MPG of a Sprinter (although M-B is still top dog), but should be definitely cheaper.
