Re: Don's Sportsmobile build
Hopefully the Danhard isn't too loud. A lot of overhead A/C units are quite loud, sometimes too loud to sleep under.
Do you know what Danhard model came with your van?

Re: Generators
On Sprinters, I looked at a Powertech 3000 watt generator, and because it is well out of the angle of departure, as well as protected by a skid wheel, it should be well out of harm's way.
I...

Re: Van heating options?
If one has propane, a Platinum Cat from ventedcatheater.com might be an idea. It would require a hole put into the exterior, but this would be a decent way to get heat and have the combustion gases...

Re: Desperation or Trickery? Either way pathetic
I was thinking an "R-Type" sticker as well. I still remember when everyone and their brother was sticking those stickers on virtually any vehicle, even if never came near a Honda or Acura part or...

Re: Don's Sportsmobile build
How well does the Danhard A/C work for you guys? I like the fact that having it gives a lower clearance than a normal roof mounted A/C, but I wonder how well it will work in the Texas heat come...

Re: Aftermarket Sprinter Alloy Wheels
I also like the look of the Warrior wheels. It definitely helps the look of the van, but does not break the bank, compared to other wheels which can cost order of magnitudes more. Something else to...

Some notes about 2014 Sprinters...
I am not sure if this is an Engine topic, or general Sprinter chassis, so making an educated guess. Apologies in advance.
If ordering a 2014 Sprinter, they come with the four-cylinder engine...

Re: FIRE!
I've always thought having a catastrophic fuse with an amp rating of the complete wired in system might be wise. That way, if something shorted to ground, the batteries wouldn't explode. One might...

EMS or active inverter as part of the SMB build?
I'm looking at two things for a potential build. One of those is a hardwired EMS from Progressive, about 300 bones, but it has a voltage display.
On some of the RV forums, there are a lot of...

It has been a while, but I think that might be the ideal solution, where one has access to two fuels for redundancy. I talked with the SMB place in Austin, and there is no problems using an...

I read somewhere that the 4x4 option is only for the short 2500 version. Anyone have any info to confirm or deny this?

Re: Composting toilet

Re: Extra diesel fuel tank possible?
It isn't a tank, but I wonder how useful a pack mount and Rotopax fuel containers would be. They are expensive relatively, but with a locking T-handle, will stay in place.
For me, a hitch mounted...

Re: whitefeather sprinter conversion anyone?
There are a lot of rumors about a 4x4 Sprinter model coming to US shores in 2015, but like all rumors, we have always had the 4x4 model arriving "next year" for a number of years now.
