selecting a Sprinter Rv - Key Tips You Need to Know

If you're in the store for a Mercedes Sprinter Rv, you've probably started looking at all of the Sprinter Rvs for sale, wondering which is the best for you. And you may know already that the best small Rv for you will probably be on a Sprinter Rv chassis - by that I mean the 170" wheelbase dual-rear-wheel Sprinter 3500 chassis, which has a Gross vehicle Weight (Gvw) of 11,030 pounds, adequate for a fully-equipped Sprinter along with all the Rv accessories you might want: a full bath along with shower and toilet, and large freshwater, graywater and blackwater tanks (if you're thinking of a 4x4 Sprinter motorhome, you should stick with the Sprinter 2500 single-wheel models for best traction and weight distribution).

Sprinter motorhome conversions are now ready in class A, B and C versions in North America, along with the following examples:

What's the top Sprinter motorhome? It will be the Sprinter conversion that has the features that suit your Rv lifestyle. Think these questions:

Do you like to check out more secluded campsites down forest roads, and go "boondocking" in wilderness areas? If so, Think class B Sprinter Rvs, which will be narrower, lighter and have more clearance than a heavier, larger class C Sprinter motorhome.
Are you sensitive to light, too much or not enough? You can't tell just from a floorplan, check out the Mercedes Sprinter Rv you're thinking of in person to see if it has adequate light (and ventilation) for your needs. The Forest River Solera has lots of windows, and almost all are screened occasion windows. The Roadtrek Adventurous has windows on the driver's side all the way from front to rear. Ltv's Serenity model even has a giant occasion skylight up front!
Do you like or need to bring lots of gear? Make sure you pick a Sprinter motor home that has ample Cargo Carrying Capacity (Ccc). Some Sprinter motorhome conversions (like the Winnebago Era) had weight issues, because of their small Ccc (Winnebago fixed this issue, beginning in 2012 to build the Winnebago Era on the Sprinter 3500 chassis for best cargo capability). You may also need external storage to store large bags, ready on some class C Sprinter Rvs.
Are you planning a long trip for a year or two? Think buying a used Sprinter Rv, and selling it after the end of your trip. Sprinter Rv pricing is similar to any vehicle, at least in the regard that when you buy a new Sprinter motorhome and drive it off the lot, you've probably lost 30% right there. However, this may not be such a loss if you buy a used Sprinter camper and sound it well, since it may hold its resale value better.

Lastly, before you buy, try to rent the exact model you've decided will be the best Sprinter chassis motorhome for you. If you've placed on an Airstream, rent an Airstream Interstate for a week, or a Roadtrek Agile if that's what you think is best. This "shakedown cruise" can be the best way to see if the Sprinter conversion you like the most literally meets your needs!
