Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

Oh. That "slider". Probably not. Insurance did pay for it but we don't use it that often.

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

thanks for the input Keith.
maybe since your build was an early Sprinter conversion SMBW added the limiters later on after some windows got hit when customers didn't close them enough.
If you had...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I have two awning type windows on the right side. One replaced the original glass that was in the door and the other is in the next panel. As far as I know, it does not have a limiter. It would be a...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I had that added as I thought I could eventually come up with an emergency shower idea. Haven't been dirty enough to give it much consideration.

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I hope nothing shows up later. I hate surprises.

I put this in right by the back doors.

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I have noticed in this particular topic I seem to be almost "troll" like in my posts. Although that is not my intention - I am really a very happy camper - it seemed the more I read the more I didn't...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I think I will try that. I have been rotating the tires every 5k (free service) and have got 60k+ on them now so what ever the air pressue is, it must be pretty close to right.

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I feel no air coming from any where on a counter-top microwave. A Microwave does not get hot, only what is cooking gets hot. A combination convection/microwave would have heat as the entire space...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

The car dealers I have experience with under inflate the tires so the ride is much softer and smoother when you are trying it out.

Correct tire pressure - wow, how many opinions are there on that....

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

The 2008's have a speed limiter and 80 is tops. I have had my up to that speed once or twice and notice no vibration but then I am not running the stock tires. I normally run 60 -65. 60 mph in the...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

Our back splash goes all the way out. I did not think about it could break so will be extra carful not to use to use it as a handle. Our microwave is not vented. Doesn't require it looking at the...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

We were one of the first Sprinter conversions done by SMB in the spring of 2008. I can only think of one thing we had them change.

The microwave (mounted below the counter-top) was crooked. I had...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

Check Progressive. They know what a Sportsmobile is and have replacement total just based on the purchase price.

I have had two claims they handled great. One was for the original glass on the...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

I just spent the last two hours reading this. It is better than Falling Skies.

We will be doing Sprinter SMB #2 in the future. We just took one off the lot at SMB rather than order one but next...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

My ceiling fan was put in 4 years ago using the same sealant and I have never had a problem. We have several holes in the roof for solar panels and back-up camera and no leaks yet.
