If there is a downside it would be the cargo weight capacity, it works for us since it is just two of us and a dog. Sprinter RVs are probably not the most family friendly RVs. I admit that the Vegas/Axis line RVs are very nice as well and I seriously considered a 25.3 (rear slide). I have never driven one though.

Good point that actually applies to most diesels, not just Sprinters.

I looked back at Transit specs for 2019 and the in-line 5-cylinder diesel had 380 pounds less payload capacity than if it had the naturally aspirated gasoline 3.7L V6. In my opinion it’s a lot of extra weight when OCCC is limited.

That much extra weight makes a Ford 3.2L I-5 diesel heavier than a 7.3L gasoline V8.
