RE: New "C" Owner
Definitely look into the Yahoo group for Navion/View. Very helpful, well-informed group of owners.

How about that pull-out exterior kitchen-in-a-drawer in the rear?
Love the interior design.

RE: A Class B I can drive in town and that has a REAL bed?
Interesting how different we all are. I long ago got rid of all mattresses in both my home and RV. I replaced them with what I consider comfortable... for just a fraction of the price... with an appropriate sized piece of foam (not memory) and put a mattress pad on it.
I would look at Sportsmobile's website and their online system for planning your own floor plan with only what you want. You could choose to make their gaucho or platform system to fit a standard twin size mattress... and then work from there to add what bathroom, kitchen and storage you want.
You didn't give us your location... or at least I don't know where "nope" is. But Sportsmobile has three locations: Texas, California, and Indiana.

RE: First Ram Promaster van class B
Here is another video, which does a somewhat decent walkaround of the Travato.
That video is mostly about the ERA not the Travato. There was just a little bit on the Travato at the end and not a complete walkaround.
I thought it was pretty complete. Only the first minute was the exterior of an ERA. The last two minutes of the three minute video was of the exterior - didn't show us the storage though - and most of the interior of the Travato. It didn't show the bed down, but showed the bath, galley, fridge... and two men using the dinette area.
The way the bed folds up is interesting.

RE: First Ram Promaster van class B
I don't know a single Sprinter owner that has ever had to be towed and I know and have met many a Sprinter B owner. In over 100,000 miles driving some of the most remote roads in North America (Alaska and Yukon) with confidence I have never had a breakdown. I guess if that is your worry and driving criteria then you deserve a lesser solution that might breakdown and need to be towed. ;)
I guess I have to agree with Dave on this one. Worrying about a breakdown of a chassis that has been around for a long time is rather like letting the possibility of bad weather make you stay home. Can they break? Sure any machine can. Will they? Not likely to anymore than anything else. Buy Progressive Insurance like we did. Their towing coverage pays for the tow to the nearest facility that can fix your machine.
It was reading about the breakdowns and long tows (on Sprinter forums and Yahoo Sprinter groups for a number of years) that made my decision. Granted it is a great platform and breakdowns are rare, but for a woman who travels alone - mostly in the empty service-less prairies, safety and common sense prevailed.
While my local Dodge dealer will still do an oil change on any Sprinter, anything to do with warranty or requiring parts would necessitate a 300 mile drive. Personally I think MB has dropped the ball with the Sprinter and it will come back to bite them once there is decent competition - and this thread suggests that it is coming.

RE: First Ram Promaster van class B
My prediction is that all dealers who currently work on a Ford E350/450 will work on the Transit (which is most of them). And that the majority of Dodge/Chrysler dealers will work on theirs.
Unlike the current situation of states with 0-1 Sprinter dealer/service location.

RE: First Ram Promaster van class B
From what friends across the pond say, I think we will end up with Sprinters always being the flagship class B chassis, just because of the name.
IMHO, Sprinter has nowhere near the name in the US that it does because of MB in Europe. And because MB has done a horrendous job since the "divorce" of providing dealers and service availability, I think Ford and the new Chrysler vans will push Sprinter out as quickly as the RV converters can get up to speed.
The availability of service facilities nearly everywhere ... quickly... will kill the Sprinter with its not uncommon need of 200-400 miles tows when you have a serious problem... and 200 mile drives to find a place to change your oil - or any warranty issue - in much of the country. (the number one reason that I don't own a Sprinter based RV)

RE: First Ram Promaster van class B
I'm not sure if RobertRyan is using American or Australian definitions of a "B." (a discussion we had a long time ago here).
Whatever... it will be fun to see what new options appear with the new platforms!!:C

RE: Regency dealer location help
I just saw two of them last week at Lake Region RV in Ramsey, Minnesota. That is the NW side of Minneapolis. I bought my LTV from this dealer... who has a very good reputation here on RV Net. Give them a call when you get closer.

RE: LTV Unity MB
Actually LTV properly called it a Class C until they were purchased by EEE, who made them use the sales term of "B+" which doesn't exist according to the RVIA.
There is no group of any size of LTV owners. There are a few owners on this board:
Sprinter Source - Leisure Travel branch
If Dundas is an owner with a problem, I would suggest calling the factory. They are very helpful.

RE: What does your RV forum name mean?
Back in the 80's I lived in Cairo, Egypt. When life's problems occurred - plumbing, shopping, bureaucracy, one always got the same answer. It was "mishmumkin" which translates to impossible.
But with an RV, so many things are possible... so I chose "mumkin."

RE: Tire valve access
Many Sprinter owners recommend this company's extensions:
Tire-Man
I put his system on my Chevy based unit and he is a very helpful person if you have any questions.

RE: New ERA is home now
Congrats on the new rig, may it serve you well far into the future. Did you get the gas or the diesel one?
Sprinter only offered a gas model for a year or two a few years back.

RE: Sprinter for cold weather
I'd say that your best bet would be to go to Sportsmobile and have it built to your specs.
