Think this over carefully. If you'll be using the vehicle for travel, which most people do with an RV, finding places to work on Sprinters can be difficult. In theory you'd be able to choose from Mercedes, Dodge, and Freightliner dealers/shops, but in reality no one seems to want to claim the Sprinter. Only some MBZ dealers are authorized to work on them, or order parts. Mostly there seems to be a round-about type thing going on where Dodge says take it to MBZ, MBZ says take it to Dodge... A huge hassle when you're away from home. And of course, the coach part of it is all third party equipment.

For actual travel you're better off with a chassis that is known and supported all over the place (at least here in the US), like Ford and Chevy. Dealers and shops are everywhere, parts are available, most RV shops are fairly familiar with them.
