Re: Sprinter day camper (in progress)
Finally made some good progress...
Gas lift and ball catches on sink lid to reduce rattle and hold the lid open New side panels & rear speakers with added wall insulation I still need to cover the outer insulation on the rear lower panels Cheers George |

Re: Sprinter day camper (in progress)
Leather covered steering wheel from Germany (I think the same as Opa_R no blue stitching though)
It's the same 390mm wheel as in the MB Viano Easy install 2 torqx and a 10mm Allen screw (disconnect the battery before fooling with the airbag) 110 Euros, feels great! Cheers George |

Upgraded radio to the JVC KD AVX40 and added homemade Ipod dock
The second tilt position matches the dash slope perfectly... Cheers George |

Sortimo makes an outdoor module based on their storage solutions  peek around their site, I got a lot of inspiration from their work... (Plus they make the VW Multivan wall table and transforming track table...) http://www.sortimo-speedwave.de Cheers George |

Re: Sprinter day camper (in progress)
Aux battery replacement:
My original aux batteries were refurbished, $25 each. They lasted almost 4 years with very poor capacity in the last year. so I sourced replacement batteries. My new batteries are Powersonic 12750 75AH Gel cel batteries. They have nearly identical dimensions although I did have to rework the battery hold-down because of the different terminal configuration. Cheers George

Re: Sprinter day camper (in progress)
George, Can you describe the wiring and fuses that you use for your aux battery setup?
I have one of those same batteries and I am thinking of adding a second one. What wire gauge from your alternator to your battery bank, fuse sizes for the alternator run, fuse for between batteries, fuse for the inverter? Thanks! |
