There are about 700 Freightliner dealers across the country that are owned and operated by the Mercedes that are happy to work on them.
Unfortunately that is not really true. When I was deciding on platform, there was only one Mercedes dealer who would work on Sprinters in ND (nearly 300 miles away)... one in MN... and none in Montana or SD. So I started calling the Freightliner service facilities. All of them within 100 miles said that they wouldn't and didn't plan to ever work on them. I pointed out that Mercedes owns them both... and has sold Sprinters... and the managers still said no.
One's final comment was... 'you wouldn't want my crew working on your pretty motorhome anyway.' :E
