We recently completed a California and back 3-week trip and found that we could be comfortable in a variety of campground situations. At some we had free reign of the park/grounds; at others we...

Haha, I’m always excluded when it comes to great minds, regardless of the group I belong to.

I have learned a lot from the group and will stick around as I play with my new toy. I’ve attached...

I re-thought my loyalty to Sprinters so much that I just bought a used T@B 400 teardrop trailer! Admittedly the current inflation of B prices had an impact on the decision. We plan to see what we...

So... do we have anything more than our own experiences? Any sites you guys rely on for good reliability info? Here’s the kind of info I find, but it’s not terribly objective.

Wow! Well, I guess I’ve been living in a Sprinter bubble! My 2008 Sprinter (SS Agile) was bulletproof for the 5 years we owned it.

I certainly didn’t limit my search to MY19 and up - have...

I’ve “always” (i.e., for 5 years) owned a Sprinter-based van and am now looking for another B. The thought crossed my mind to look beyond Sprinters but a quick search on reliability/issues for the...

Thank you both! I am especially glad to hear that the equalizing current would be measured. I think I'll go for a cheap DC-outlet-plug-in voltage monitor on the front batteries, as I am most...

Monitoring one set of batteries-what's missed?

So.… I’ve been reading a lot about the impossibility or impracticality of measuring all your battery input/output in systems where there are 2 sets of batteries each with a separate ground. In my...

If you don’t plan on stressing the table with too much weight, it might be easier to move the mount on the bottom side of the table to an off-center position that moves the table forward.

Welcome to the Forum!

The classic “great deal” of lore is 35% off, but I don’t think you’ll get anywhere near that in the current Covid Seller’s Market. I would think 15% would be very good these...

It certainly is variable! As I browse thru listings I have to wonder how some of them ever sell given their high prices v. my good price guidelines. Maybe the eventual sale price is much lower or...

Thanks for the info. It certainly is a good sellers' market - we recently sold our B for 10k more than my calculations said would be a good price -- "good" definitely depends on which side of the...

Belzar - the value for me is that it gives me what I believe to be a benchmark for a reasonable price for an x year old Roadtrek Sprinter. It may not be generalizable beyond that. Is yours a diesel...

Roadtrek Resale Value Calculations

Reviving an old thread to share the calculations on depreciation that I use in evaluating asking prices and that others might also find helpful (or want to dispute ;) ). I developed this table 5...

I agree with Avanti on the safety features. I'm a Sprinter chassis fan and on those you can tell if the model includes the safety features by whether on not it has controls on the steering wheel -...

Not sure if the tracks in the Agile we had are similar - ours had a top and bottom groove on the track. I found that if I took a very small binder clip (the typically black things with silver...

It looks similar to, but not the same as, the Houghton “Quiet A/C” that Advanced RV installs - which I believe sells for about $2100 without installation and $2800 with. That unit gets favorable...

Yes, the AGMs may not be ideal, but we’ll see how the work and I’ll do my best to nurse them along until I’m feeling flush enough to go to LiFePOs. I don’t think a few hundred extra pounds will...

This one is a 12VDC unit and ran for 8 hours on battery "boondocking" in dealer parking lot - which impressed me. I will check to make sure it runs on AC as well, just in case.

The ProAir units run on DC and this one performs well so no worries about the inverter. I hadn't thought about confirming that it will run on shore power but now I will. Thanks.
