Very gooy
would love a large off road camper vehicle based on the Mercedes Benz AROCS 3346 6X6 + 5.0 in. Lift 11.3 TDI I6 4-Dr Crew Cab All Terrain Camper Truck (RHD)!!! only if such specialized vehicles could be priced between €320,000 & €830,000 or the maximum being €1,000,000 for a top-of-the-line model with all the luxury & what not!!!
Should have a person explaining the Van's not a computer voice.
I was under the impression this was MB VANS, what happened? as you showed Class As and TRUCK CAMPERS which have nothing at all to do with TRUCKS, are not VANS and Class B+ campers are not VANS, they again are trucks. Just do one or the other as many up fitters were left right out of this video. I was hoping to learn something with this video and that did not happen as the information provided did not cover MB VAN and why it would be a better selection vehicle for most up fitters. MB has taken some wonderful steps in the last few years, fixing issues like CUP Holders, NOT Cover in this video, Gear systems NOT Covered, Power train Front wheel, Rear wheel, and or 4-wheel drives, and not a word about the 144 or 170-WBs. In the next video, think it out and stick to the subject of your SUBJECT LINE. Nothings about Air Streams Interstate, Coachmen, Winnebago, and many other up fitters as I was hoping to see some interviews of CEOs or Class managers talk about why they like the MB vehicles. You really need to do a lot more homework in this area.
Man truck have got some beauties as well take a look at my motorhome in Australia search for: 4×4 motorhome slrv commander, and I am sure you will be impressed, thank you
+1. .. Mercedes Sprinter chassis is the king of the ClassB recreation vehicles.
I have a Mercedes Class B+ Motorhome and I just love it. It's luxurious interior, smooth driving with comfortable leather seats makes driving really enjoyable. I think Mercedes makes something for everyone's tastes.
Benz is best. I need many of Benz RV with armored body without kitchen.
The guy's voice is supremely annoying! I could not watch the whole video because of it!
How much in Indian mony
Just curious as to why Leisure Unity Travel Van was not in your top 10
I think that Mercedes needs to offer a better gas engine not a 4 cyl that will have issues going up hill as well as pulling a load plus if you building it as an RV the weight will bog the van even more.
Wooooooooooooooooooooow
I have a Winnebago Trovato 59G, built on a pro master 3500 van. It is front wheel drive, which makes for a flatter floor (no drive shaft). It has a six speed transmission, and I get 15–16 mpg. In general the comments I have seen on YouTube and personal stories, lead me to believe that the Mercedes diesel is more expensive upfront and in the long run via maintenance. Personally, I've never owned a diesel, and I might never own a diesel.
Keep going with veicles because on campers mercedes is far behind
Must See Clickbait…
No Leisure Travel Van?
It's only a matter of time before merc make merc cars in to
car campers by putting a toilet and shower facility and make the seats fold flat in to a bed in a merc estate etc will change camping forever and make car camping much more easier to do
No, not even 30 seconds in and I'm NOT gonna listen to a 1st Generation Rubbish Robotic Voice
voiceover guy sounds like Anthony Carrigan from HBO's "Barry"

Would you say that Mercedes is an ideal platform for an RV? Express you support for German quality in the comments below!
Both the current Mercedes Sprinter chassis and Ford Motor Cars Transit chassis have strengths for a Class B+ RV. Ten and Nine-speed transmissions are offered, several diesel size engines for both with the Transit chassis offering a 3.5l V-6 twin turbo benzin engine. Each chassis offers a comprehensive suite of collision mitigation options, both can be spec'ed with 4×4 and Super Wide tire technology on the rear axle versus old sckool dually tire arrangements. .. I'd say the segment offers an RV buyer/builder a broad pallet of choices.
Have a look at McLaren sports homes in the uk
VARIOMOBILE is my fav!!! Awesome!!!
