even better (or worse because we cannot get it in USA ) - check out the
Westy Sprinters at
http://www.mercedes-benz.com/e/rv/jamescook/default.htm (and back up
that site to other small Mercedes RVs)

A few months ago I asked DaimlerChrysler marketing if they were going to
bring in the passenger Sprinters or campers - as of now, Freightliner is
only bringing in the delivery vans :-(
There is one converter that has a US spec Sprinter and they are working
on the interior layout (but I lost the URL in a computer crash...)

PS, some fine print on the Sprintersavvy site:
Please note that due to vehicle emissions certification requirements in
some states, the Sprinter
can not be registered in California, New York, Massachusetts, Vermont
and Maine until October
2003. Registration is available in all other U.S. states and in Canada.
