Purchased in the SW and largely used to winter in the sunshine this pre-covid quality build is loaded with extras! I have spent months without hook-ups with the lithium and solar upgrades. With the Helwig sway bar and Fox shocks added you can drive around the big trucks with easy and have improved handling in the wind. The "V" model has allowed me to sleep, open the refrigerator, and stop anywhere without needing to put the slide out to function. The loveseat is comfortable but some people have replaced it with two recliners that fit fine. I have the orginal sleeping cushions but didn't use them. I used two 8 inch memory foam mattresses and all will convey if desired. I kept the loveseat and front cab seats covered.

I have the brochure listing all the standard equipment but a few of my favorite items in the first half of 2018 model are: the three way refrigerator works from batteries, plugged in and by propane. The propane operation is fantastic because you use very little power. I went to Yellowstone and the Tetons last year and only had hook ups for 1 night. This is a huge savings for camp sites with the propane and lithium and you can stay right in the parks with ease. There is a back up camera and I have found the RV easy to drive. I have parked in normal single parking spaces with the proper clear space to back in and have the back overhang the curb.
I ran the car fax and found an open recall which has been completed and I have more service records by certified Mercedes mechanics. All documents, booklets, and operation manuals are available.
There is a real advantage to purchasing through the user of the RV verses a dealer. You have records and information provided. The transaction can occur very safely at a bank or with an attorney.
