newbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please

[landyachter]

Working my way down and love sprinter C class. Bought a 2015 Forester with 15k miles. Never owned a Mercedes and would like to know what to watch out for? I've seen some comments about their pollution problems a while back.
Anybody ever install performance chip in there RV? I could use a little more power to tow small boat.
Any advice will very much appreciated!

Don't let your engine battery get low as those Mercedes diesels take a lot of juice to start. Many of them don't have the emergency start switch that other motorhomes have to join the house battery to the chassis battery for starting.

mine has a 100k warrenty on the engine, if yours does? it might screw your warreny up. ours has been great just turned 40k and no engine problems. I,ve had big rv,s and for two people its great . you can take it any where and thats where we like to go off the free way. local roads.

well it feels a real driving machine and I always improve on my other vehicles and love to enhance that. Ive got a chip in 6.7 diesel ford and have one in newer Z06 corvette, (just out of warrantee) BUt yes, I'll give a few trips before I do it. thanks.

#1 get the chip out of your head, it don,t need it and doesn,t work any way. #2 I have a older one 2007 5cyc mb engine pull a 17ft bass boat from ohio to AZ not one problem with power ,pulls mountains just fine. slow down and smell the roses. your mb will out last the rest of the rv.
