Re: Looking for Photo of Inside Rear Doors of Mercedes Sprin

Not the inside rear doors,but this is my outside rear door storage basket with tire and ladder...this is a great combo that stores alot outside. I can strap a couple of chairs to the ladder as well.

That's a good bit of storage. And important stuff, too, especially that bottle down on the left side.

I thought about putting the spare tire and a storage box on the back, but I wanted to keep the length as short as possible. How much does the tire add to the length? I'm still thinking about putting the spare tire on the back and making it possible to have a larger grey water tank than the 8-gallon that SMB proposes.

Make sure you really get 8 gallons or better. Mine was marked 10, SMB said it was 8, reality was it was 6 which is totally inadequate.

I like the ladder. Where did you get it and what is on top - some kind of basket?

I had the ladder made at Aluminess and the tire carrier is from https://eurocampers.3dcartstores.com/Sp ... _c_72.html
I used the underbody tire space for an extra battery that allows me to dry camp for days. The basket-hitch was made by :

Re: Looking for Photo of Inside Rear Doors of Mercedes Sprin

Actually, I was wondering what you had on top.

I have the same tire carrier and I did a basket underneath. What type of battery do you have there? I have a battery about 5 feet in front of the basket but to connect them might be a problem because of the distance. It is a great idea though. I was carrying extra fuel there but another AGM battery would be much more useful to me.

Do you have a part number for the aluminess ladder?

Thanks!

No part number...it was custom made but they probably have the specs on file.
