You mentioned in a post while I was gone, that 'the Sprinter is ready'.
Do
you have a Sprinter-based RV? If so, who converted it to an RV? I've
seen,
on the web, conversions by Great West and Winnebago and am wondering if
there are more out there.

Thanks.

Ours is a Pleasure-Way ... made in Canada. Most of the major RV companys
have their version.

Also ... new Spinter engine options will soon be available. A V6 gas
engine and a bigger diesel. Ours has the little Mercedes diesel which I
have found to be more than adequate, plus it has a proven track record in
Europe.


So what sort of mpg do you get on the highway with that rig? It's cute!


On the trip to Norfolk and back, towing the cargo trailer, it averaged 17
mpg.
The manufacturer claims as much as 22 mpg highway (not towing).
What surprised me was its ability to cruise along at 65-70 mph, up and down
hills without straining. If fact it only downshifted out of overdrive twice
on the trip ... when returning to MA with some fairly long and steep grades
on I-95.

It's only rated at 154 hp.
