Is yours the same as the one in the 360 virtual tour? It looks as though
the electric sofa bed comes with seat belts, so would provide seating for
a
few more people.

Mercedes is making a Sprinter with a higher roof this year. I wonder if
PleasureWay will use it for future motor homes. I'm not wild about the 72"
interior standing room, being 75.5" inches tall.


Ours looks identical to the 360 tour except it does not have the third chair
up front.
The counter top extends further (where the chair is) and there are
additional storage compartments below it. The house battery is located in
the bottom section. Other than that ... it's the same, including the
colors.

The couch *does* have seat belts .... either for two or three people, I
can't remember.
That's why I wouldn't bother with the third chair up forward. The passenger
seat swivels completely around to face the rear of the rig. The driver's
seat does not.

You would have a height problem. I am just under 6' and my head clears
everything except the air conditioning system that sticks down a couple of
inches below the roof. If you are the long legged type, you need to make
sure the driver's seat goes back far enough for you. On ours I am
comfortable, leg wise, only with the seat adjusted back as far as it will
go.

I noticed they now mount the TV on a swivel so you can see it from the
front. Ours is permanently mounted in an angled enclosure, viewable from
the rear couch only.
I also understand they are introducing a couple of new engine options ... a
V6 gasser and a larger, V6 diesel. So far, the little 2.6L, 5 cylinder
Mercedes diesel in ours has been very adequate for the job, even towing the
trailer and gets great mileage.

We'll see if they import the high roof model.

Thanks much for the time taken to answer questions. I appreciate it.
