Hi. We’ve been meaning to put together a travel map of our journeys and just haven’t gotten it done. We’re from MO and on the first trip went out through CO, Moab, SW UT and most of the natl parks, down past Vegas, Joshua tree then a month in Baja, came back hitting NW AR for a week. That trip...
The bus now lives at our farm for the foreseeable. Interesting it has a 7kw solar array and machine shop (15kw of solar on our shed shown above powers 80% of our farm - wow). It’s owner is just incredible.

Largest vehicle recovery I’ve been involved in. This beast made an incredible journey from AK to MO only to get buried in a temporary parking spot. The winch worked quite well at one point pulling my nearly 10t truck forward.

Hi sorry just saw this.
I ordered from Eurocampers and got the H3233xB which is for a Sprinter. It was $230 last year then I made an aluminum plate for the top. Their ladders are also great, have one on our sprinter. Look for a discount code or promo.

Good question. Sure seems solid. I stand in it and have noticed no movement at all. I recall the rack rated for plenty of weight.
Will have one mounted and one unmounted spare up there.

My understanding is that most all Mexico is ULSD though of course not guaranteed. We saw lots of newer Sprinters down there. I expect Baja is pretty safe.
Nonetheless we’re an 06 and pre emissions very purposefully for international. So I didn’t have any concern.
Size was a bit of a...
That would’ve really been a great build platform at the original sale price. Though even now considering the cost of a custom box I think one could make an argument for it. Seen plenty of cab chassis or flatbed in that range.

We have a similar c5500 and love it. Great looking rig. Good luck with sale. Looking forward to more photos. We sleep six in ours.

Also how do you like your Sumos and steering stabilizer? I’m putting on Deaver springs next month and considering adding both.

I used 1st Attack in Indiana for my c5500 singles. Jeff was great, generous with his time and delivered as promised.
