I owned a 2017 MBS Sprinter for two years, so I can speak to it with knowledge. Good things, driver and passenger seat comfort, visibility when driving, maneuverable in tight spaces, decent MPG on diesel fuel and it towed our 2 Dr Jeep JKS well. Thins we did not like about it: hated the split bed design a real PITA to make up the bed, very low CCC rating so you really have to watch how you pack and be weight conscious, not very much storage space inside or out, very small F/W tank and holding tanks capacities, tiny frig, no real space to relax or lounge in the cabin after traveling, not always able to find ULSD fuel as a lot of places have moved over to Bio-Diesel now, and the cost of maintenance and repairs. Another big factor is if something happened on the road, disabling the vehicle, you can only get service at "authorized MB dealers". This is great if you are on the coast, around a big city, but when you are in Podunk, Wyoming, you are pretty much SOL! You better have a roadside assistance plan that will haul you the 500 miles to the nearest approved facility at the policies expense. We moved up to a Class A MH with the V10, and never looked back.
