2006navion
New member
I found a 2006 Navion in pretty nice shape during my recent trip to St. Louis to visit family and bought it. It was MO inspected (after some mandated front-end repairs) and subsequently I had an alignment done before I took possession of it. On the second day of my trek back to Virginia I noticed the driver side front eagle simulator was missing . Most likely someone who worked on it didn't get it back on quite right. I contacted a seller on ebay who specializes in simulators (says he's been selling them for more than 20 years) and he said the 2006 and earlier (mine is actually a 2005 chassis) are hard to find and that starting in 2007 - although the same 16" diameter wheel, the rim where the simulator mounts is a different diameter. Does anyone have one of the older (2006-earlier) eagle simulators and/or know who I might contact to find one? I might look to swap over to aluminum wheels at the next tire replacement!
BTW, I am so happy and thankful to be part of the forum here. I am new to the Mercedes/Sprinter/Diesel setup but like it a lot thus far but have much to learn. The fuel mileage coming home was great - more than twice what my gas Class A Toy Hauler was getting!! The brakes do seem a little weak to me but otherwise a well-built, comfortable coach. Thanks again for any help you can offer me.
