I've seen several lawn sprinkler companies and a TV Dish installer using the Sprinter utility vans. Having some experience with trucks that fall into the 'commercial' class, I can tell you that most aren't fun to drive. I think I saw an Airstream Conversion on one but I can't swear that it wasn't a Mercedes.
