They need to reengineer their emissions control system. Just got an estimate of over $3500 to repair at only 52,000 miles. I am not the only one with exhaust system failures.

The Emission system should be 5 years 100,000 miles. Check your owners manual to be sure

Thank you for sharing that information. I generally don't like how other manufacturers keep their future changes coming soon a secret. It makes buying an RV very difficult to do. Why should I buy now only to be unhappy with my purchase later cause I wanted the major changes that were released? Trust me the new generation MB chassis is a big deal. Anyway, I love the new facia, the improved dash, and the upgraded infotainment. These generational changes will make an already great product insanely perfect.

Thanks for your question, Jim. The front seats on future Advanced RVs will have swiveling capabilities, just as they have in past models.
@toptobottom247

Yes, the swivel mechanism is kind of separate from the power slide and seat actuators. You will use the power control on the door to bring seat max forward and then grab the handle below and swivel the seat around into lounge position. This is a big deal for the RV industry. MB wouldn't compromise that idea.

The lane keep assist does nothing. So, I am not getting that option. The distronic works well (allows me to drive pedal free) adaptive cruise control. So, I am getting that. 144" $39,750 and Costco is going to get me a few thoughsancds off that price also. I am waiting for them to get back to me.

What is the max interior height of an RV on the Sprinter? I am 6'4" with shoes on and would want at least 6'6". Is this possible with and Advanced RV? I don't think the super hi roofs are available anymore, are they? Have you ever considered adding a 10" or 12" fiberglass top to a hi roof model? Thank you for your thoughts on this topic. Bk
@AdvancedRV
@AdvancedRV 6 жыл бұрын
Good question, Bernie. You're right, the Super High roofs are not available anymore. However, Advanced RV's Escape motorhome has 6'7" roof and is available on our website. You can find the link below. advanced-rv.com/portfolio-item/escape-superstealth-class-b-rv-for-sale/ Regarding your fiberglass roof question - Due to Advanced RV's aim to retain our status as a Mercedes Benz Master Upfitter, we are restricted to working within certain limitations. In the Sprinter, we cannot cut the ceiling supporting ribs that span the length of the van. So although we could design an alternative roof structure with a fiberglass top, maintaining certified MB upfitter status is critical, along with ensuring your personal MB Chassis Warranty.

Thanks for your feedback Ed. There will be a 12,125 lb. GVRW model, but the max curb weight will only be 9,400 lbs. From our perspective, using this model would require a special lightweight build.

Great news about the updated chassis and features. You mentioned that the shift lever has been moved (a huge deal-breaker for me in its current position on the dash.) Where is it located now (on the 2019 chassis) and does it in any way interfere with your leg or foot / feet? I really like the Sprinter - even though it is so very tall and difficult for my wife & I to get into. Thanks for sharing this info with all of us.

Dodge ProMaster is 3 inches wider than Mercedes... I think it would be good strategy to upfit some Dodges while waiting for 2019 Sprinters... At least you will have plausible explanation as to why you're working on Ford and Dodge: - "Waiting on 2019 Sprinters, damn Amazon, bought 20K of them, so I gotta do Ford!"- LOL. Dodge and Ford are wider and have more vertical walls, which makes use of shower easier... Ford is great chassis and have way more dealership locations to service in US than Mercedes.

My main question .... and this is vital in my opinion as it's something Mercedes has been devaluing their badge and reputation with for the last decade at lease ..... RUST - are they now at last going to have a proper coat of paint and metal panels that last ? I really don't see understand how they are doing justice to that propeller badge by having bodies that RUST so bad - so quickly. I don't know what they are like in the states but in the UK the average is pretty much scrap at 5yrs old.

First thing I did with my maxed out V6 was to put protective film on the entire front and sides to the B pillar and front lights. According to the guy who did it the paint is even thinner on these than before. He has some thingamabob that measures paint thickness. Going to do the front windshield to as soon as I have time to go back there. Will talk to him about filming the rest of the sides and rear also.

Jay, I'm very interested in an all-electric sprinter myself but as far as I know MB has no plans to market an EV Sprinter that will go more than 100 miles without a charge - (yet). Also, I have to wonder how an EV Sprinter would work as an RV platform because the large battery will almost certainly be on the underside of the chassis which is where the grey water tanks are currently located.
