I saw a Sprinter(Dodge badged) in Manassas, VA at the Bull Run
campground.
The owner had purchased it bare and was building their own interior.


There was LOTS of room inside. They said it rode pretty good and got
25mpg.

I got a tour of one (in Europe, they are called the "James Cook
Sprinter") about 3 years ago. The interior layout makes more sense than
anything else in it's class I've ever seen. I called some Airstream
dealers and got a price quote of over $78,000----ouch.
Since the basic van costs about $30,000, I was wondering how difficult
it would be to put the insides of a Westy into a new Sprinter. Anyone
care to comment on the problems that would need to be overcome?
