This floorplan is one of the most open-feeling of all Class B plans with a rear bath and plenty of windows. This is the motorhome that has been used in The Fit RV website and videos (
http://www.thefitrv.com). It started life as a Forest River MB Cruiser, but was completely gutted and remodeled inside and out. The remodel was complete in January 2014. This is FAR NICER than any comparably aged RoadTrek, Pleasure-Way, or any other used RV.
Complete details about the interior remodel are available at:
http://www.thefitrv.com/the-rv-remodel/. The RV was repainted by Warner Truck Center and now includes a clear coat, and body color bumpers and trim. (Sprinter vans from this time originally came with no clear coat, and grey rubber bumpers and trim.) This RV has almost every upgrade or add-on you could imagine.
Currently, the vehicle has about 125,500 miles on the odometer. That's only about 15% of the useable life of the diesel. And as an older Sprinter, you won't need to worry about DEF. This Sprinter also does NOT suffer from any of the issues that affected earlier Sprinters (Black Death, Turbo Resonator issues, Rumble Strip Noise.)
The vehicle will come with complete service records since 2010, and a complete set of manuals for subsystems where available. Asking $49,900.
