Description

Overview: This Class B RV has been in our ownership for slightly over a year, during which we have taken 3 long trips, totalling roughly 10 months. We drove from NYC to Maine, then across the northern United States through South Dakota, Colorado, and back, and a full trip across the country to Oregon, Washington, Montana and back, including another loop up into Vermont and New Hampshire. We have no hesitations of any kind saying the van is capable and ready to make that same trip again, twice over. Everything in this vehicle has been maintained, upgraded when necessary and convenient, and kept in excellent service and condition. The exterior of the vehicle does show some small signs of wear and tear appropriate for a vehicle of this age and mileage. In addition to all of the stock features built into this RV, there are several upgrades, as detailed below:Suspension: New front struts, rear shocks, and replacement swaybar bushings installed on May 30th, 2021. Front struts are KYB Excel-G. Rear shocks are Falcon 2.1 from Van Compass valved for +8500lbs. Front and rear Sumo Springs were also installed. This is equivalent to the VanCompass Stage 3 system.Rear brakes were replaced last summer, new rotors and new pads with sensorsSolar System: Installed in April, 2021. 4x100 watt panels on the roof, installed with custom racks into the Sprinter’s existing roof channel. There are 2 Renogy 100 watt polycrystalline panels, and 2 Rich Solar polycrystalline panels, all with the proper cables and connectors. To control the charge, there is a 30 amp MPPT charge controller. 2 batteries have been added to the standard 1 house battery, making a 310 amp hour, 3 battery system. Providing power to the van is via a 1500 watt pure sine wave inverter. The system is 100% tied into the van’s pre-existing factory installed electrical system, and requires no maintenance. A display on the MPPT shows the voltage charge of the battery bank, and the incoming power from the panels. The charging system also charges the house battery bank via the alternator, as well as via the shore power and the generator, if necessary. Other than running the generator to use the microwave, we never needed it once during the 5 month trip after the solar was installed. The height of the van, just below 10ft, is also not affected by the setup - all of the panels sit lower than the roof air conditioner housing.MORE info available upon request, everything doesn't fit here.
