Good luck with your new Sprinter!! We picked ours up in July and have put over 10,000 miles on it so far. We've been averaging about 20 mpg city/highway (65-75 mph), low of 17+ (major head wind), high of 23+ (major tail wind).
Have had a couple of issues with the Sprinter, faulty TPMS sensor and a leaky differential, all under warranty. This has happened only once, but the Sprinter went into "limp mode" (no codes) on our way back from a trip. It corrected itself after we turned the engine off and back on again. I think there has been an issue with this on other Sprinters. Hopefully, we don't have that happen again, especially in traffic!!
As to the SMB conversion, we've had some issue with the ability of the two motors to lift the penthouse roof in one continuous movement; however, it does work. No other problems have surfaced.
We replaced the stock radio with a Kenwood Excelon DNX 8120 with built-in Garmin navigation. It looks like a factory installation, and so far, it's been a great unit!! Better be for the price.
All in all, we are really enjoying our Sprinter SMB and looking forward to doing a lot more traveling. Have fun with yours!
