I've seen several lawn sprinkler companies and a TV Dish installer using the
Sprinter utility vans.
Having some experience with trucks that fall into the 'commercial' class, I
can tell you that most aren't fun to drive.
I think I saw an Airstream Conversion on one but I can't swear that it
wasn't a Mercedes.

Apparently they come in several sizes and with various roof heights.  I
think the thing that makes the Sprinter a worthy contender is the Mercedes 5
cylinder, turbo diesel that moves it along to the tune of 22mpg.  But I
really like my Vanagon, so I'll be keeping it a while.
