Pros and Cons of a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter Chassis
Mercedes-Benz is known for high-end vehicle parts, so it should come to you as no surprise that all of the RVs on this list are as good as it gets. Unfortunately, there are a couple of disadvantages as well. It wouldn’t be fair to detail all of the motorhomes without explaining the good and bad features.
Here’s some pros and cons of an RV with a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis:
Pros of Sprinter Chassis
- Mercedes is known for its high-end components and unmatched craftsmanship. You’ll be guaranteed to get the same level of commitment and integrity when you buy an RV with a Sprinter chassis. It’s durable, long-lasting, and designed to withstand the elements, including off-road driving.
- Every single one of the new motorhomes with a Mercedes Sprinter chassis comes with some sort of warranty. The bulk of them has a 36,000-mile/3-year warranty that includes chassis components. It covers manufacturer defects, so you’ll be protected for either 36,000 miles or three years, whichever comes first.
- A Sprinter chassis is strong enough to carry several thousands of pounds. For example, a few of the motorhomes on the list have a total weight capacity that goes over 15,000 pounds. Some of them are capable of carrying even more. If you want something that can bring all of your belongings, Mercedes has the ability.
- Sprinter vans are an ideal vehicle for road trips and camping. By using the Sprinter chassis and incorporating it into new Class B and Class C RVs, these companies have created motorhomes that are unlike any other. They have the same familiar, luxurious feeling and handling right at the front of the perfect RV.
- The resale value of your motorhome will be exponentially higher for much longer than other brands. Mercedes is a luxury brand, so their products are always better for the seller when they want to sell or trade-in. If you’re thinking about replacing it sometime down the road, you’ll love how well it turns over.
Cons of Sprinter Chassis
- As you could probably imagine, any vehicle with a Sprinter chassis costs quite a bit more than others. You should expect to spend about $5,000 to $10,000 more on average than you would for other vehicles. Remember that you won’t find the same luxuries, but the price difference can be a deal-breaker for some people.
- Once you’re outside the covered warranty period, the repairs on any Mercedes-Benz vehicle will be high. Remember that buying a used vehicle sometimes voids the warranty, so it’s worth asking before you sign any papers. Small repairs can become big problems if you’re dealing with a newer model.
As you can see, both of the cons have to do with money. Mercedes-Benz is far from a cheap brand, but you’ll get top-tier quality from front to back. If you’re worried about buying a brand-new motorhome with a Sprinter chassis, consider getting a used one. Again, inquire about the warranty and how much time it has left.
Conclusion
A Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis adds value to any RV. If you’re considering buying a used or new RV, there’s no better brand to consider. Whether you’re looking for luxurious touchscreen displays and keyless entry or simple, budget-friendly motorhomes, this list has everything you need to know.
Here’s a quick breakdown of the post:
- Winnebago, Coachmen, Thor, and many other popular motorhome manufacturers use Sprinter chassis.
- Mercedes-Benz chassis are quite expensive and very durable.
- You can get a Class B or a Class C RV with a Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis.
- These chassis are strong enough to hold thousands of pounds.
- The craftsmanship of these motorhomes is second to none.
