Re: mercedes sprinter chassis
I am loving all the answers, they are giving us the different point of view we were looking for. to give some more information, we are thinking to go again with a diesel, because it what we always used for our MH. we bought a class A gasser at one point and it went back for a trade in less than 3 weeks. I know that the sprinter is not a DP but it is a proven chassis for over 10 years. I know there are differences in the buildings craft of the various manufactures, that it what brought us to the Wayfarer, but the cargo capacity is just not there. are the Synergy by Thor and the Melbourne Prestige by Jayco comparable in quality?587Views0likes0Commentsmercedes sprinter chassis
we are downsizing from a diesel pusher to a class C. We had a tiffin before current one and the Wayfarer caught our attention, but when studying it a bit the 702 lbs carrying capacity killed it for us. so we are back on the drawing board, we like the View, and we know is the older model built on this chassis, but there are so many now. We were at the TAmpa show yesterday and saw the new Synergy made from Thor, and the Melbourne Prestige made from Jayco. when we shopped class A diesel pushers we avoided these two brands for not stellar reputation, does that apply also for their class C? we also liked the little class A Via, but cant have it with the loft bed, and we need some kind of bed upfront. Give me your opinion please, it is really valued. Thanks18KViews0likes38CommentsRe: comparing rvs
My problem with the red is it looks like they haven't really worked in innovating it in the last 2 or 3 years. And I think it would be a disappointment after our phaeton. Fleetwood, on the other end, is out to prove that it was worth saving from the recent nose dive of the market, and consequent bankruptcy filing. With that they are trying hard to put out a product that is competitive. Am I so naive?211Views0likes0Commentscomparing rvs
Here is the history: we had a Phaethon that we liked a lot, but we sold it because didnt have bunk beds and we weren't using enough. The bug didn't leave us, so recently we bought a gasser with bunks. We have decided to go back to a diesel pusher and we are narrowing it down to these four units: Tiffin allegro red 38qba, Berkshire 39bh, Fleetwood expedition 38b, and Winnebago Forza 38R. Any comments? any pros and cons on either? Thanks for the help.2.7KViews0likes5Comments
