Never did anything to it but regular maintenance.

I have 20,000 miles on our Sprinter with no problems so far.

I have heard that not all dealers will work on RV based vans because of the extra weight that their lifts will not accommodate, both foreign and domestic .

It's true, not all are equipped or have trained service technicians, but, they are out there.

Problem is getting within reach of one. They are mostly in major cities.

My RV insurance company offered me unlimited towing so I'm covered for this now...

As far as your post...yeah, 365,000 miles is a very long way...I don't see anything wrong with the MB chassis or base engine.....provided it's serviced.
