The ProMaster (gas version) is a great vehicle... I have one. It is a 2014 high roof, 159" wheelbase, gas model. The early '14 diesels had some issues but my understanding is they have that ironed out at this point. I bought my ProMaster specifically to convert it into a wheelchair accessible camper van and I am about 50% done.
The ProMaster has more room inside, doesn't look bloated from the outside, is front wheel drive, costs less than Ford or Sprinter, etc. The gas engine is the 3.6L Pentastar and it notoriously reliable. Coupled to the 6 speed transmission, it gets about 19-21 MPG highway and roughly 17 MPG city driving (for me anyway). Another key factor is I got an extremely well equipped model for thousands less than Ford would sell me a base model for.
I think Winnebago and RoadTrek made good decisions in using the ProMaster platform to build RVs out of. Also keep in mind, more people complain on the internet than they praise, so you will almost always find more negative information than positive.
