Usually we take the chassis, so orign Germany (because based on the Mercedes Sprinter) would be correct. Nearly all truck-bodies were built in the country, where the chassis was exported to, often the same with ambulances, hearses and motorhomes and ice-cream-vans. Just see the many "Luton"-bodied light trucks in the UK - none of them were built in Germany (if a Mercedes or VW), Italy (Iveco) or Sweden (Volvo).

Much less, we normally list class C motorhomes under the chassis maker (unless the grill is different from what there based on, or something like that, or if the front end is not visable) and class A motorhomes get listed under the body maker.
