Here are two Sprinter floorplan examples (from other brand) that in my opinion need to be placed on a diet, or else need a chassis upgrade to increase the dismal Cargo Carrying Capacity.

I don’t blame slide weight for all excessive heft, as I’d guess that design is driven by features buyers want at a given price, and that practical functionality takes a back seat. Unfortunately, high-end features commonly associated with Sprinter motorhomes can weigh more.

Just saying that because buyers pay more to get more, it doesn’t mean they’ll also get more cargo capabilities — 1,079 or 1,082 pounds CCC isn’t much at all for that size and price motorhome. Low CCC should be a deal breaker on any RV.

Extra space as well as other features are indeed great, but what good are they if you can’t use them unless overloaded?
