Yes and no.  A 144" Sprinter custom conversion is nimble (will easily fit
in a parking space and get around town without difficulty once you're
accustomed to maneuvering the large size), could be designed for hauling
large items (mine did and many I've seen do), are daily drivers.  I
wouldn't say it would make the "greatest" daily driver but not a bad one at
all which is why they're so popular.  But it won't fit in most garages
unless you got a low top with a pop up, which are available.  Sorta like
the Westy.  The key is to not get a bulbous one, like most are coming out
of Indiana.  There are a few which keep the OEM chassis and those are the
ones easy to daily drive.  One may even get them with side and/or rear
slide outs which allows the owner to have the typical RV space AND easy
maneuverability.
