Sprinter Camper Van Towing TT?
I don't see much on here about camper vans and I don't think of camper vans as motorhomes, per se. Anyway, I've been thinking to sell off my Class-C motorhome and acquire/build a short Sprinter cam...

I am doing that this winter. Found a little Shasta Compact (@1400lb) near me in Wisconsin and towed it down to Orlando for a friend. It didnt feel much different towing it than my husband tear drop (@600lb). Here is my RVan (17') and the Shasta (13', ignore the vent stuff, all sorted out).
She has a Grand Marquee that cant tow something too heavy but my 1992 GMC 3500 could tow something bigger. My RVan started out life as a conversion van, the owners added the heat/AC on top and an electrical port. I gutted the van and rebuilt the inside for just myself and my 2 dogs, the teardrop is for when my husbands travels with me.
When my husband had a tent then we seemed to have problems at some campgrounds, they wanted to count it as 2, but I told them the van was just the kitchen, TV room, living room, office and the tent was the bedroom. I just think they didnt want any tents at some places. With the Shasta I have not run into any problems and tell them the unit is 30'. Yes, we do plug in both but two 15 amp, not a 50 amp. Those big units are longer in total and use way more of everything than we do. We are still only 2 people.
