The first video of a Class B campervan on the new sprinter platform

You should probably ask that question to Thor, it’s all in their hands now...

I’ve read that the new Sprinters being built at the US plant are having multiple QC problems during the changeover... multiple Units with QC probs coming off the line are having to be run back thru a special area to try & correct quality shortcomings... looks it might take awhile to fill the pipeline with new models to all the RV Mfg’s...!

Pretty normal circumstances for a new plant building a new model vehicle. There is no changeover is there? They are only building the new model Sprinter in this plant or is it also producing Metris models in the same plant? Do they build both on the same line or separate lines?
