Winnebago Via and its twin, the Itasco Reyo. (Where in the world do the marketing people come up with these names ???) They are 25' and on the Sprinter chassis. If we ever downsize, these would be a prime candidate.
Mercedes (as in this Sprinter chassis) diesels are all over Europe and have been for many, many years due to reliability and fuel economy (they were paying 5$ for a gallon for fuel a long time ago.) We bought a new Mercedes E320 station wagon five or six years ago and it had the absolutely best drive train of any vehicle we have ever owned - the engine and transmission were perfectly mated and it was difficult to detect when the tranny was shifting. The torque curve of the V6 gas engine must have been almost perfectly linear. I was completely impressed with our E320. Owners of the Winnebago View and Itasca Navion (on the Sprinter chassis) I have spoken to have been very positive about their units.
