Yesterday I looked at a new Airstream  Interstate which is like a
Mercedes Sprinter camper. It's very nice but I didn't particularly like
the interior layout.  And I was told the front seats don't rotate to
face the rear.

Next to the Airstream was a  Pleasure-Way 2004 camper built on a wide
body Ford van chasis. The interior design (of the Excel TS) was more
appealing to me. The electric reclining couch to bed in the rear was
great as was the flat screen entertainment center. In fact you can
convert the rear bed into a king size bed if desired.  As well,
Pleasure-Way is about to release another camper(Dodge Plateau) based on
the Sprinter chassis. For more info see the respective web sites.
