Idling all night does not sound like a good idea to me. We have the same engine with the high idle and it is not as quiet as a Honda generator. It is not good for the engine. You would be far...

Re: Penthouse Ladder?

When I picked up my Sprinter with Penthouse from SMB Texas they included a ladder to the PH that hooked to a couple brackets on the bed. It was always in the way it seemed and was hard to store...

Propane seems to stop at below freezing

I have a propane system that operates a Suburban furnace and a 2 burner stove, all installed by SMB. Twice, since I have had the SMB (2012 Sprinter), once in the Yukon and once at Mammoth Cave NP,...

Reading through some fairly recent posts I think I see that Sportsmobile is making available a screen for the side door and an awning for the Sprinter with penthouse top. Is this correct and are...

Re: Sun visor that swivels??????

Well I popped the retaining clips off easily once I was sure I was not going to break something. Swivels just fine now. I think that since I bought the van from the Mercedes dealer in Austin and...

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

Like Keith, I too have RV insurance with Progressive. You really want to go with one of the insurance companies that has specific RV policies. I am paying about $800/year for a new (July) Sprinter...

Re: Sun visor that swivels??????

I have a new (2011) Sprinter and do not see an easy way to swivel the sunvisors. As I understand Chumley's post, the foreman at SMB was able to find a way to "loosen" the clip on the other side from...

Re: Sun visor that swivels??????

Chumley:. How exactly did the foreman get the retaining clip off? This has been driving me nuts every time I drive north in the afternoon! I am going along and I reach for the visor to move it to...

Re: My new Sprinter

Spenard: I have considered some sort of trailer but have tried to avoid crossing that line. I looked at the Malone trailer and it looks like something that would work should I cave and buy a...

Re: A motorcycle inside a RB - Critics Welcome

You need the 170 wheelbase to do what you want to do, or put the motorcycle on the back in some sort of rack. The boxes fit in the drawing but the reality is a lot different. These vans are not...

Re: My new Sprinter

Well, I have had the van for two months and taken it on several long weekends that included canoeing and biking and a week long river cleanup by canoe. I am getting to know it better. Here are some...

Re: My new Sprinter

On the way back to Iowa from Austin we took three days camping the first two in the new van. During midday it was very hot, in the hundreds, but the van air conditioner was adequate while driving...

Re: My new Sprinter

I picked up my new Sprinter Sportsmobile in Austin on July 3. Our flights were delayed so we did not get there until closing and so we drove the van to a motel and had to wait until July 4th for...

Re: My new Sprinter

I will post some photos once I pick up the van. One of the things I decided to do without is air conditioning in the camper. I do not want a generator, noise and space considerations and too much...

Re: My new Sprinter
