Steven, No european anything except the Freightliner which is really the Mercedes Sprinter. Chrysler owned Freightliner and now Mercedes owns Chrysler so they are beginning to produce some Mercedes trucks under the Freightliner name. The Sprinter is the base of many european campers. I may be wrong but it is my understanding that it is very prohibitive to import the european campers into the U.S. because of the high tariffs placed on them by the U.S. I didn't even look at the price as it was a very fancy model and they were profiling the Mercedes 5 cylinder engine. Had to be $80,000 or more. Oh.......by the way..hows the snow in Chillicothe??
