Thanks for the video. You can easily loosen the hitch connector to get the yakima hitch bolt through the left side to lock into place. Definitely a bad design by Mercedes but it does make your hitch kinda secure and theft deterrent.

I think every van needs either a strong murphy configuration or electric lift. When you spend the time and money to build this out, make sure its as versatile as possible, both for resale value, and in case anyone you know becomes homeless or some other catastrophe god forbid. People are living out of these things as a necessity due to the economic depression. Its always good to shoot for middle of the road functionality and versatility even if your particular use would be for out door trips.

Great video. One thing I have learned is even after your build is complete…. You will always see improvements during or after your trip.

Omg~ perfect trip,)

I had a 2020 Tacoma before I got my sprinter and I took a 2020 Tacoma horn and put it in mine

What gauge wire is needed to install?

I’m about to get one of these to run my AC in my van!! Do you have a review video by chance ??

My Sprinter has a grab handle on the sliding door post right behind the passenger seat, but it’s too high for my fhort girl to grab when climbing in. How to remove that handle? I’d like to replace it with one that’s 24” or even 30” long, instead of the silly 10” one.

Just a thought here…. Do you have valves that direct the water to your tank when primitive camping (no water) vs in a campground with water so your not using your tank and the water pump when showering, washing dishes etc…

I got the same floor

Your cabinets and bed will anchor the floor

@vandingo I have the exact same unit on my Sprinter. Can you share the name and number of the person at Kingtec?? I am having an issue with mine. I need some support. Thank you

Wow the cup holders are awesome!

Have the same but mine are completely pulverized and no longer work as they should and have done. Curious in what condition yours are after two years? I have already replaced them at the front because they were also completely pulverized and were replaced by sumsprings under warranty, it seems that these are already getting worse within a year.

Replaced mine with the same and sometimes it was still not enough for inattentive road users. Then I opted for two Hadleys of 1 meter under the floor which works perfectly and wakes up inattentive road users immediately

I stumbled on your video looking for 8020 means to mount my Victron in my van and this was big help for someone new to Van building and 8020. Appreciate it and hope more people see your content.

Do you think I can attach leads to the ends of the Distributor and extend to it a regular, non-victron busbar? Versus how you have it, extending to the Power-In

I mean it does say input 16-35 😂 easily gets confusing though!

Those self tapping screws are a life saver.

Hi I have just followed you video for my cascades solar install on my 4x4 sprinter. Fantastic hell thanks so much.

Where do you order the shelf with curtain from? Link?

Still don’t know they were. The battery is after watching your video.

My front bump stops faces upward on my 2022 4x4 sprinter while yours face down. For me the ends of the stabilizer bar (upside down u-shape part) is in the way of where the sumo spring goes. What year is your Sprinter? Anyone else have this issue?

Great idea to repurpose the lynx in! Your system is awesome! Thanks for sharing. 👍

is your van diesel or gasoline ?

The wire going from the battery terminal to the DC to DC charger should be as short as possible, and running two wires through the ceiling is not the basic wiring method and it makes fire if your van ags acciden. it should be kept as short as possible to reduce current loss, and since the battery ground is connected to the chassis, there is no need to connect a separate wire, only the positive wire from the battery is connected to the DC to DC unit. The negative wire of the DC to DC can be connected to the nearby chassis ground. By doing so, the positive wire passes next to the vehicle's door and then through the van floor to connect to the battery positive with a 50 or60A fuse for Alternator protection and van electronic system . it is very super important .good luck !

About to install a pair myself and so happy to benefit from your experience. Thank you!

<3 victron eco

You have the lynx power in not the lynx distributor it this because you abuse it as distributor and safe cost?

What size wires are you using for the dc/ dc? 6/0? 6 gauge?

Hi nice film, but why did you not order the grab handles at Mercedes? I got them at Mercedes for 50 Euro the set here in Europe. 180 dollars at Terra wagen seems a ripoff.

Don't follow this video, this guy doesn't know what he's talking about

But don’t always stay on

Link to the grab handles?

AFCI GFCI combo breaker in the house?

Just found your channel. Nice build! I would use 10 series. That stuff is strong. If you have any doubts then put a brace in. Way better than over building. I agree with vanDiesel, that 3M VHB is amazing. I put a solar panel on with it. Your shower is huge! You can certainly have a moveable toilet but why bother. Put the toilet in a corner. Not sure why others haven't done that. You then have more shower floor space and eliminate the complexities of a rolling toilet. Can't wait to see the walls.

I’ve seen the insulation pulled thru with a wire puller also

That’s an excellent idea to run the dc/dc wires through the wall and ceiling! Glad I saw this before my build! Thank you. 👍

What year is your sprinter?

Yea ive had the yellow carrs sitting in my garage waitin be installed but injured finger doin winch job..great vid,i was thinkin making a template on cardbosrd to make sure i got the measurement right...also figured i would spray paint or primer onto the drill holes, someone in comments said silicone not sure adv/disadv/difference on sheet metal.... how are the steps holding up since been couple years now?

Use the bottle jack from the van to compress the spring, it worked stupid easy on my Ford Transit 350-HD-Dually Turbo Diesel

Thanks Scott The headliner is the final section of my spray foam insulation project for my 2022 Sprinter. You have given me the confidence to tackle this area, as I was concerned about the electronics and air bags. I have already spray foamed the remainder of my van except for the slider door and portions of the back door that have moving parts. My only comment to followers is if they are going to RV in cold frosty climates, the white fuzzy insulation Scott used as well as the Havolin Wool which is also heavily touted on KZfaq will allow moisture to penetrate and condensate on the inside of the metal exterior. My van initially had wool and the same white fibered insulation and after an 8-day October trip to WI. and MN., I had considerable condensation between the insulation and metal panel. I have no shower in my van and I keep my windows cracked and Maxair fan vented to reduce potential build-up and still had condensation. Spray foam has eliminated most condensation except where I could not apply foam. Thanks again. G-Man

One of the best instal vids for sprinter seen in a while..very detailed honest snd informative..thanks dude..please do same install vid w the diesel heater if you havent already instaled it

Getting ram 2500 soon

Wow thank you

Wow

I travel full-time across the U.S. in my Sprinter camper van. I have 4 100 watt solar panels screwed into the top of my van's roof. I would be very nervous to adhesive tape solar panels to the top of my van's hood. Over time, the heat and cold extremes, plus the wind will eventually lift the solar panel no matter how strong the adhesive is. Driving down a highway and have that solar panel lift up, could be disastrous! The company should make it an option to be able to screw the solar panel into the hood and forget about the vinal.

Can you share any info about the table of that drill press? Looks professional!

Very helpful. Thank you!

Thanks for the video; I'm also a North Dallas van diy. I bought my unit and kind of panicked when received and noticed the flat bottom; see everything on youtube with square insert into van. Your video helped relieve my fears, and actually, I think it's an advantage since it fits closer to the inside ceiling. I have one concern and that is a lot of units have two steel bars that bolt to ribs on roof. Do you have any concerns with mounting just to sheet metal on the roof?
