Class B sprinters typically get 23 - 24mpg

Class C Sprinter dually gets 15- 17 mpg

Sprinter B is pretty dinky and restricted modifications for conversion companies that have to comply with DOT safety.

My Rialta gets 17 - 21 but it burns GAS (ICK)

so... no free fuel for gassers... ()

Hate it... it will get a TDI + 5 spd swap if the Vr6 ever dies (unlikely it will die)

the sprinters are cramped for space and really only good for a single person in my book. the only thing I can see them good for is stealth camping on bood docking in the middle of no where and going places that a class b+ or c can't fit let alone them 45 ft busses that people buy . and from what iv'e been seeing pricing wise I think I would go for a class b+ since there in the same ball park. and a lot of class b RV'S are only optioned off with an gas or LP genset I rented an rv with an LP genset and I ran the gen set hard and I was back at the filling station in a day or day and and a half filling it again so I would def want a diesel genset for fuel economy and and service wise

go for the full sized Transit (with a diesel). Been using them for years in China. They are about interior size of a VW Eurovan (very low floor with LOTS of square space inside) (15-17 Chinese sized passengers)
