Hello all, My dream is coming true! After going through the Equipment Options, there are several unanswered questions that come down to the great group of guys and gals who have been enjoying your builds and experiencing the good and the bad. I am looking at a factory order of a 170-2500-4x4...

This van was built with careful and thoughtful design with top of the line components. No expense was spared with building materials, time, and craftsmanship. This van was built with the hopes of providing a comfortable home for someone on wheels. Features include: -Standing shower...

I have two LIfeline 6v batteries and a Victron battery shunt monitor under the passenger seat of my 2004 Dodge Sprinter/2005 Airstream. I am excited to add a couple panels on the front of my roof (the AC and fan use up most of the back real estate) and to keep the whole system under the...

I have a self-converted camper van with 200 watts of solar panels, battery, a Renogy charge controller, fuse box. Currently, my lights are working fine. My inverter is working fine. The battery is full. I’ve got a 12V outlet (similar to this one) connected to my fuse box that worked great for...

Hello! I believe this is my first post, but I have used this site as a resource for my friends with vans before, so thank you for all the information, and my apologies in advance for my inability to properly navigate the search button to its full capabilities yet...lol. Any and all sharing of...

I built a 800W system for RV boondocking on my truck a few years back. It's time to get the van electrified. I wanted to share my experiences as I installed my system, a build log of sorts. I was originally going with a Renogy setup, but after having some cold temperature and touchscreen...

I know that aerodynamics is not one of the Sprinters strong points. Still it bothered my personal esthetic taste to put solar panels on top of it that stick straight up. So I used a little different method for installing my solar panels. I wanted a low profile, but still use traditional instead...

Has anyone installed panels (and batteries) on their 2007ish Vista Mini? I'm looking to put a couple panels on the roof and route them to the new house batteries to allow me to boondock for extended periods. A few things I'm wondering: -How many and what wattage of panels do you have? -How many...

Hi all, After putting off this horror show for ages I'm attempting to mount solar panels on the roof of a Sprinter saddled with a curved fibreglass roof. As you can see from the attached images said curvature is playing havoc with my hopes of a smooth install. Due to the size of the panels...

Hi everyone, I am new to the forums, but I am reading as much as I can. This is obviously an impressive and knowledgeable community, and this type of fan club around the Sprinter is ultimately one of the reasons we chose it over pro masters and transits we considered. My wife and I are...

Hello! First post during my first conversion. I just made my first ever circuit diagram!! I was hoping an electrician superhero on the forum could come to my rescue and proofread it please !! I am feeling pretty good about it, excited to make it a reality. Open to suggestions/critiques...

What is everyone using or planning on using in conjunction with the factory air? Im not sure if the modular options from Aluminess or the Flatline Vanco options will work. Looking to put solar, crossbars to carry gear when needed, light bar, AND take the space for a Maxxair fan right in the...

Any recommendation of a good solar kit!? no sophistication is needed. This is to top up house batteries during dry camping. I wander if my 2014 itasca navion have anythind "pre wired" or " solar ready" (whatever that means?) to accommodate the installation of additional hardware (panels wires...
