Chrysler sales have hit the bottom in many of their vehicle models.
I've seen one of the big VW Vans much like the Sprinter that is used by
one of the local TV stations here in Dallas as a broadcast vehicle with
the big crank up satellite dish on top.
It was so big I did a double take when I first saw it.
The Sprinter James Cook sure looks like a nice unit but I just don't
think I'd have much fun if I joined the Class A camper class. I've had
four large (29+ Feet) motorhomes and they are expensive and a PIA to
manuver and maintain.
I'll stick with my little Westy.
