Hmm... I think a bit of clarification is in order here. I do not think that diesel fuel is going away. I do think that as the number of VW diesel cars on the road decreases many service stations will begin questioning the value of having a diesel pump that is only lightly used. Some will remove it in favor of an additional gas pump. The end result will be that in 5-10 years it will be harder (not impossible!) to find diesel, especially in city centers and suburbs, and you will need to do a bit more planning to locate a service station that sells it. Of course truck stops will always carry it so that option will not change.

For the record, I think the Sprinter is a great van. It just happens to excel at a slightly different set of criteria then the ProMaster, so knowing which is a better fit for your needs is the best approach. It is not a slam-dunk like comparing a Mercedes E-Class against a Dodge Dart where the extra money gets you a superior vehicle in every respect.

I would question your waiting until the children are older. Mine were 2 years old and 1 mo. old when we went on our first when we got our first TT. We have had at least 1 RV at all times since 1969. Now the youngest has a Wanderlodge and oldest (50) is looking at a van or using my RT at times.There are many memories from their younger years and at 12 for the oldest it may be too late to get them interested in RVing.
