The new design widened the bottom cushions to 27-1/2" on each side. This resulted in a 14" or so wide aisle. This was based on lots of reading on this and the Sprinter sites about bed width and...

Galley Cabinet

The bed was too short for me by at least a couple inches and I couldn't figure out how to make it longer on the rear end so it had to be at the front end which was where the galley cabinet was. So, I...

Fresh water system

The van came with a Rixen water heater, 1/2" PEX tubing, and numerous water lines running under the floor. I was aware that both ARV and Avanti had used the circulating hydronic fluid to keep these...

Insulation

I didn't realize that when I bought this van that it had no insulation in either the walls or the floor. So, when we completed the trip home to Michigan from California I had taken out most of the...
