No doubt M-B Sprinter-based motorhomes are more expensive than similar Ford-based V10 Class Cs, but it's not due to all that diesel torque. The Sprinter's 3.0L V6 is rated significantly lower in maximum torque than the Ford V10. I think it's around 325 lb-ft whereas the V10 is north of 400.

Anything Mercedes will likely cost more. And in fairness, most compact motorhomes built on Sprinter chassis seem to be built a little more upscale.
