Hello from Tennessee!

I've owned my 2009 (2010 conversion) Frieghtliner Sprinter Sportsmobile for about 5 years now. Bought it at 50K miles and have put on about 25K.

I love just about everything about it with a few exceptions which have lately caused me to consider selling and buying a used Winnebago Revel. I will have a little $$ coming soon, but the more I look around for a decent used Revel, the more I realize it is out of my price range. So I think I will keep Ole Faithful and pep her up just a little.

Dream list:
- onboard generator (want to run AC off shore power)
- ability to shower inside, hot water would be great
- diesel heater (or heater without engine running and shore power)
- upgrade the cushioning for the bench seats/bedding.
- Lengthen by a few inches the passenger side bed
- replace fiberglass running boards with something more foot-friendly and tougher
- spiffy paint and/or wrap to give it some personality

So I joined this forum to get ideas and to see what others have done with their Sportsmobiles.

Cheers!
Mz Ellie

Welcome.

Those things are possible. Most here use Hondas or some other portable generator. I do have an Onan in my van. Very noisy though. I also have a Honda.

If you have a short wheel base, the inside shower is of course more of a challenge. Maybe one like some of the Roadtrek’s have with a shower pan with removal cover/pan in the center of the floor.
