Roadtrek says: ” German Automotive Excellence meets North American RV Ingenuity! The RS-Adventurous combines legendary Mercedes-Benz engineering with the ingenious RV design creativity youve come to expect from Roadtrek.
The Sprinter van is designed and built by Mercedes for unsurpassed fuel economy, durability, safety, practicality, comfort and quality. Powered by a fuel efficient CRD turbo diesel V6 engine, youll enjoy awesome fuel economy, long service intervals and great longevity. The new adaptive Electronic Stability Program (ESP) takes into account the vehicles load as it uses numerous sensors to determine when the vehicle is starting to lose control and uses the traction control and anti-lock braking systems to regain control. Traction control also improves traction on slippery surfaces. Rack and pinion steering and a smooth shifting five-speed automatic transmission enhance driving pleasure. The space efficient engine bay and cab architecture maximize useable interior length. The almost vertical exterior sides maximize interior space within an overall exterior width comparable to other fullsize vans. The wider taller sliding door allows even easier entry. The cab is now equipped with electronic climate control, tilt steering and factory comfort seats. On long trips, youll appreciate the 10-way adjustability, lumbar supports and headrests. And Mercedes-Benz quality. Need we say more?”
All four captains seats swivel as shown in the picture above to form the dining arrangement. The second row also swivels towards the rear for TV viewing. (Optional folding mattresses. are available that rest on top of the front four seats to provide long, flat, even sleeping surfaces.)
Roadtrek says: “With no gables or cabinets at either end of the galley, its open from front to rear on the drivers side. Panoramic windows from front to rear provide daylight and openness unrivalled in any other class B. To maximize already generous storage space, a hanging pantry can be added to the rear end of the galley. The permanent bathrooms unique doors maximize aisle width when the bathrooms not in use. Yet when in use theres ample space inside while keeping the aisle clear. Inside youll find a toilet, vanity sink and a sit-down or stand-up shower.” You can see the galley arrangement and the bathroom doors in the picture below, which also shows the rear sleeping arrangement (see floorplans lower down the page):
