Grech RV, a family-owned California manufacturer of luxury Class B motorhomes built on the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter platform, has introduced the Sprinter RV Upgrade Program. This limited-time incentive offers rebates of up to $10,000 toward the purchase of a new model-year 2026 or 2027 STRADA-ion, TURISMO-ion, or TERRENO-ion camper van, or $5,000 toward a new VACANZA-ion. The discount is applied directly at the time of sale, and no mail-in paperwork is required.
The Sprinter RV Upgrade Program is open to owners or lessees of competitive Mercedes-Benz Sprinter-based Class B motorhomes from brands including Airstream, Pleasure-Way, Winnebago, Thor Motor Coach, Storyteller Overland, Tiffin, Coachmen, Entegra, Jayco, Roadtrek, and Ultimate Toys, as well as current Grech RV owners. It does not require a trade-in, only proof of current registered ownership or lease verified by vehicle identification number.

- Instant Point-of-sale Rebates
- Immediate discounts with minimal paperwork signal a shift toward more transparent incentive models that can modernize high-value recreational vehicle purchases.
Where This Applies
