Seems that your quest for the perfect RV is still on. After seeing so many pass through your driveway it might be time to think about custom building from the frame up to get what you want. On the other hand trying them all out and flipping them might be fun and sometimes profitable. For me its fun to watch.

On the other hand trying them all out and flipping them might be fun and sometimes profitable. For me its fun to watch.

thats kinda what I did,... I built out my express van...it has a queen bed in rear that makes into a dinette for two that you can get in and out of easy, I pre wired it with 30 amp shore power , 3 15 amp breakers... also a 2600 gen,..it has fridge, microwave, toaster, coffee maker, george foreman grill..and a 9000 BTU roof ac, 300 watt solar, 3000 watt inverter, 200 amp hr agm gel coach battery (charges off solar ,shore, and alt) swivel LED/DVD tv, LED dimming puck ceiling lights,formica granite look counter tops, portable potty with cabinet, huge under bed storage box with flip down rear table, box holds 2 director folding chairs with side table, 2' x 3' dinner table,


propane grill, extra gen fuel (gen runs 10 hrs on 1 gal) + 3 extra gals, tools, jack and containers,..it has the 6.0 6 speed, gets 18+ MPG going from vegas to havasu, rated to tow 10k lbs, and has a 10k+ trailer hitch with brake controller, aluminum wheels, gps /nav/ in dash dvd player...pulls the pontoon with ease, only draw back is the low roof,... works for me just fine...going down the road I stay behind the wheel,,,

wife would like to keep the HI roof and full bath,,...but I can't see getting rid of my van when we also have a full wall slde 30' rv with a full bath and king bed..

I went to mercedes to see about buying a new crew van 144 wb...they cost bare more than I want for the era I have..... to do over I would just put a conversion top on a n express van..when I satarted this deal, I looked at camperizing an express coversion van, they want stupid money for those...most don't have the 6.0 motor and have a gang of miles...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

It's not about the money, it's about my frugal mentallity (cheep fuc) I just can't write the check for $189k for a camper van, or 129k for a used one with 120k miles...they want stupid money for them... but they sell and you see them every where... but... I think most are 70 yr old people with 30 yr loans..with death insurance..

.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

as far as the sprinter, I spend over a week solid, detailing, doing repairs, mods and de-rattling every thing, but there is still one gremlin....the power roof fan has no power at the fan, and i can't find the fuse... I need to go to the shop and use a power probe, and wire tracer to see where the power wire goes,... but other than that,....every thing works a s should...gonna try to fix that today... was gonna fix it yesterday but ended up on a 12 hr video poker marathon at the bar....today, one plan is to hook up to the pontoon and go across the scales at the truck stop...it weighs 8900 as is loaded..so we will see, both how well it tows the toon, and how much the toon weighs..

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Here you go.... this is how to find out what and how much you can tow, first.... load the coach to how you will travel... and go get it weighed

here's mine loaded...this is with out the tri toon, it's 24' but on a triple axel , so a little heaver by at least 500 lbs i would think, that and it has the bigger frame...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

next, find the spec for your chassis and coach...as you can see...

front...4,410 lbs... weighted 3640 lbs...so under by about 800 lbs...

rear ...7740 lbs ... weighed 5320lbs,... so under about 2400 lbs...

total.. 11,030 lbs...weighed 8960lbs,.. so under by 2,070 lbs...

so this means that I could load another 2,070 lbs and still be at weight...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

now hook up what you are gonna tow and re weigh the coach....while towing to the scales , I was surprised at how well it did, not gonna say that you don't know it's back there, but, it towed the 24' tri toon with ease,.. set the cruise at 65 and it stayed in hi gear all the way, stopped easy with the disc trailer and tracked very well,

 

[2FORCEFULL]

well I gotta say this about the sprinter,... super impressed,... I see these going down the road going 40 mph up hills,.... towing the tritoon up a 6% grade I never went under 55 mph,....could have gone a lot faster, may be 62 but dropped a gear and slowed down the rpms...

as far a weight,... I call it perfect,...15,060 on a 15,250 chassis,... not bad for a wild guess...but again Ill say this,.. it does it with ease...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

new price lowered to $69,999.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

no comments or Questions?????.... I'm kinna torn re tween the two,,, I really like the van,,, and wife really likes the sprinter.... the sprinter is too much when we already have a big rv...what to do??? both tow the tri toon with ease.....but the van will tow 10k... both get the same MPG, and both fit in a store parking spot....sprinter has a full bath..(which I'll probley never use, othe than the toilet... but the sink with water will be nice...the other thing is I know I'll never get as nice of one of these under 100k

 

[havasujeeper]

Trust me, im watching this thread intently.

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Trust me, im watching this thread intently.

I can answer questions, the sprinter is pretty impressive... a few things I forgot to add, the gen has a new custom exhaust...the tv has a powered omni directional antenna, my house gets 60 channels and the sprinter gets 82..also, it has the out door shower that has a quick connect hose..

Steve, I totally regret not buying the one I was looking at last year.......CRAP CRAP CRAP!, these things are great for short trips, over nighters, emergencies, even long trips across country and back with stops at hotels every few nights....good luck with the sale...

yeah, I'm kinda torn between the two, the sprinter is gonna be perfect to go back and forth to havasu, but so is the van,...for me, I'm behind the wheel so both the same..for my wife, she gets up and runs around so the sprinter high roof works better, I would think that I should sell one and keep the other, but,,,, I can't seem to make up my mind... they both tow the boat well, the camper van will tow more.... that and the van is alittle more on the stealth side and can park anywhere and not draw attention...both get the same mpg...up hills the sprinter is more quiet running...and has a bath room

 

[2FORCEFULL]

this is the size I thought I bought,...Mercedes actually makes a 144" wb with dually rear, and with the 3.0 diesel.....this one is the normal one you will find, single wheel rear, and 4 cyl motor,

[boatnam2]

I got a question, when you say to help to clean out the shitter, been watching lots of van blogs and they all have the shitter you remove and empty. Does this have that or just the normal hose hook up?

was this a quote??? i don't understand the question , or if about the chevy, or the sprinter

 

[Sleek-Jet]

Does the Sprinter have a holding tank or does it use a cassette type potty?

 

[boatnam2]

On the sprinter?

Bathroom.... has it all shower, sink and toilet,..with bi fold doors to keep hall room when open....it also has the black and grey tank macerator pump to ease tank clean out

 

[2FORCEFULL]

heres a pic with it washed...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Does the Sprinter have a holding tank or does it use a cassette type potty?

black and grey holding tanks, and has the maceraaator pump like the high end pushers,,, basicly all it does is grinds every thing up and pumps it out,... I think cabin boats do it the same way...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

Does the Sprinter have a holding tank or does it use a cassette type potty?

the van has the cassette portta potty

 

[2FORCEFULL]

the cool thing with the macerator you don't have the big hose to clean and store, there's a black, and a gray knife , but it doesen't have the big plumbing hanging down, the hose is small with a ball valve

 

[2FORCEFULL]

here's a video I found on you tube, everything is the same except the dash, mine has the carbon fiber...

ERROR #1 - Asking your financial advisor if you should buy an RV

ERROR #2 - being surprised by his response

I think this is how it went, the wife wanted to back out and not buy a rv....husband wanted it, and she didn't..I really don't care about that part... you can chage your mind...I spent a lot of time with these people, but at the end of the day, it's still their call.....if you don't want it... don't buy it, if you are interested... go look..I've actually never had a deal go far as this... tranfering the money, and backing out...

Yep, the wife found an "out".
My friend wanted to get a boat, he was shopping and I was helping him with research and checking out potential boats. His wife started asking questions about storage costs, maintanance costs, how ofter I really "use" MY boat, how much have I spent in last 5 years on repairs...etc. Then she starts sending me articles about the expenses of boating. I told my buddy hes FUCT

I understand the deal, like I said from the get go, he seemed to be try'n to sell her on the deal, when we got to the bank it was a slam dunk deal... spent 2 days and multible phone calls..covid blew the deal...when we got to the bank, we only had 2 face masks, she told him to go in and she would wait....he wanted to stay out in the rv and mess with stuff...as soon as the teller started telling her how big of a risk it is buying private party....I knew we were done, you could see it in her eyes...

 

[2FORCEFULL]

as it is right now, I have multiple deals going, most are trying to get finacing...seems like a waist of time on both sides.. going through all the hoops only to find out it was sold...I'm willing to help out, but not gonna lie..someone comes look at it, puts a deposit, I'll hold it till the funds clear.. I always say the first lie in car deals is "I GOT A GUY", LOL..But, I really got a few , last night, spent a bout an hour on the phone, 3 way call with buyer, loan officer, and my self..said he would have a final decission last night and they would fed ex a check to the buyer on monday... So guess it's a "PENDING" sale right now...
