Question OK, my dad wants me to recommend a motorhome...

I am leaning towards a large sprinter as a recommendation.
he wants to buy an older gasser 'home and upgrade the engine/tranny with modern tech for efficiency... NFW...
thoughts?
recommendations?
links to peruse?
thanks!

Thanks Dutch! that is beautiful! WAAAAAY out of my dad's price range at the moment, but gorgeous! I don't know, it may be close to his price... it is similar to what I was thinking. wow, reading the fine print.... 5000Lbs towing? my Astro van has a greater towing capacity... how odd. it must be due to all the weight it's already carrying with the conveniences... well keep the suggestions coming.
a Bus hmmm? I can see me jerking seats, and tinting those bubblegum ridden windows... a nice rain bird, or whatever... probably get an early 90's model cheap... who knows...
