Our friends in Holland have a VW based RV, which
seemed very satisfactory for them. Now I've another maker to add to the
list. I'd be interested in the diesel, and have heard nothing but good
things about the diesel you have in yours.


Do plenty of research. The VW based RV is not getting rave reviews here in
the US.

The VW based RV sold here, until last year, was put together by Winnebago
and had a gas engine. The five cylinder diesel in the European van is much
like your engine in the Sprinter. We drove that thing at 130kph for hours
on end. He had a higher top installed and did the interior work himself.
He's talented!

The comments I've heard were on a couple of RV forums that I occasionally
read.
Complaints were centered around lack of power and poor handling. (RV
conversions are typically heavier) The diesel variety may be much better.
