Angry Frightened new Westy owner

I've just spent some time on some of the Sprinter forums and read some truley bad stuff about problems with the vans, brakes, turbos, batteries,cumputers, etc. A lot of owners ended their rants with "don't buy one of these vans!". A bunch of the posts were from "fleet" owners. Has anyone here had troubles with their Sprinter Westfalias?

I was also curious, I read the Spinters are shipped from Germany in parts and assemble here by Dodge to avoid the tarrifs, since the Westfalia conversion is built in Germany dose it come over whole? Would it be better to have it all done by Mercedes? I know some stuff is done here by Airstream.

Please tell me I didn't make a huge mistake. Right now we're in love with our new baby ('05), but it's only been a week. Our old Wesfalia (VW) gave us 18 yrs of good times.

Hopeful
