Sprinter Van wearing tires in diagonal pattern
Uneven and unusual tire wear on a Mercedes Sprinter Van is often caused by issues like worn, loose, or broken suspension components, improper wheel alignment, or harsh driving conditions. One of the more unexpected wear patterns can appear on the rear tires of rear-wheel drive Sprinter Vans with improper alignment. Specifically, diagonal tread wear on the rear tires can occur when the wheels are misaligned, meaning the tires are not pointing in the same direction as the van’s geometric center line.

This comes with a kitchen and bathroom set up, sleeps 4 with two different places to sleep, rides 5 with seatbelts, has a rearview camera, and the best part is that you won’t find an RV that gets around 25 miles to the gallon, but this one does!
