Re: Full-time planning

mindtrip: I'm short on time today, so I'll be brief. SMB-Fresno will install any camera/stereo you want, though you have to be insistent to override suggestions from their sound guy. Also, you may...

Re: Full-time planning

I want to thank stanw909 for sharing my reply to his email, and for giving me a friendly nudge to get active on this forum again. I have been remiss. As my quoted email above says, I've got 4.5...

Re: Full-time planning

Some news and photos from my ongoing build. I visited SMB West on July 25th. I knew that was a bit earlier than the "best" time to visit they recommended, but that's what my schedule allowed, and I...

Re: And her name is Bivy...

Thanks for sharing your pictures. I'm with you 100% on keeping as many windows in use as possible. Though it's particularly important in a small layout like a Sprinter, it troubled me when even...

Re: Full-time planning

stanw909: Always appreciate your advice. Somewhere on the blog, I mention that I'm getting (actually "have got" by now) an Endless Breeze 12V fan. It is made by the same company that makes the...

windguy: Thanks for the feedback.

On the curtain: I do expect to have house guests fairly frequently, but I will keep in mind your idea of hooks.

On the shower: The marine vinyl used there is...

Re: Full-time planning

BroncoHauler: A mock up is a great suggestion, but there's just too much going on in my life right now (retiring, preparing the home for rent, estate sale to unload furniture I'll never use again) to...

Re: Full-time planning

I made a trip to SMB West to see my van, go over my final plans, and pick out materials with samples in front of me. All in all, everything went well - they can give me nearly everything my plans...

Re: Full-time planning

Finally, some news. My Sprinter has arrived at SMB West. That's just about exactly four months after I placed the order. I have an appointment with Jonathan Feld on May 28th to go over my finalized...

Re: Full-time planning

Here's a quote right off the SMB website:
"The diesel engine will use about 1.25 gallons per hour idling at 1500 RPMs."
This is given in the context of running the engine to prolong A/C use off of...

Re: Full-time planning

Ned5555: Great information. I'll be interested to hear about your experiences with 400A-Hr and the standard alternator - that's the configuration I'll have to begin with. I'm still not clear on the...

Re: Full-time planning

Just a quick update to say that after what seems to be an eternity of planning, I sent Sportsmobile a deposit check for a Sprinter today. It will be a 2500 EB with a V6. The paint color is Brilliant...

Re: Full-time planning

chromisdesigns: Thanks! That is truly valuable information. It certainly cements my intention to get 400A-h of AGM batteries. I've always been hazy on rated capacity vs usable capacity. I will look...

Re: Full-time planning

Ford_6L_E350: I didn’t mean to imply that DEF is completely eliminated. I *think* I read somewhere on the SMB site that they typically remove the large DEF tank and replace it with a smaller one...

Re: Full-time planning

I've always been curious about the size and shape of the spaces available underneath the Sprinter for tanks, batteries, etc. Photos I've found that are taken from below are scarce and always taken...

Re: Full-time planning

I haven't posted in a while because, frankly, not much has been happening. The design has evolved very little since I posted some drawings back in July. I'm planning to have my build start in June of...

Re: Full-time planning

Great story, Stan. I've been known to watch LTV videos a second time just because Dean is so entertaining. For some reason, he seems like Rick Moranis doing his best over-the-top impression of a...

Re: Full-time planning

kmessinger - I've been back and forth on the "tire on the back door" idea. I got the impression from SMB-W I might have to do that anyway to provide a gray tank for the shower (drain behind the rear...

Re: Full-time planning

stanw- Yeah, you're probably right about the baskets; I may have gone a bit overboard. I will definitely ask SMB about some lightweight partition next to the toilet, though probably nothing is going...
