Hy, look on ebay the cheapest for rv parts sometimes. If you add rigid gelcoat +adding more weight it will crack even more . i would put a rv roof material which stays flexible. talk to a rv repair shop i'm sure they know the right product or look at this product maybe it could do the job...

Hy, i would keep the 19.5 because you already have those wheels . but would try 245 70 r19.5 in front or even better 225 r19.5 if load rating is ok on those tires for your front axle weight the problem i think you have is too wide tires in front . let me explain i changed my tires for sport...

Hy again, 2 more things i've forgot and were important to me: Sprinters and Varios are rusting fast , so untill you put a box you may want to do some king of antirust treatment for the frame and inside the doors. Maybe you knew it. second and was one reason i did my sprinter conversion was to...

Hy, you have a very good point we have to enjoy building a vehicle. I enjoyed mine building it, finishing it and travel with it. My goal was to built in order to travel. Some people , especially those building boats, actually never leave and make their built an never ending story. maybe they...

hy, did my sprinter conversion myself from a Sprinter van, and realized that is a lot of work and it will cost a lot more building from scratch than buying used. For dash and door panels find an upholstery shop /guy can do the same color as your chairs and will look nice. For tires my choice...

Hy, air bags acts like a cushion, softens a lot the ride and helps unload some weight from the leafs. The problem with leafs is that creates a harsh stiff ride bad for off-roads.Unless you have a good shackle attached to the leaf pack which allows a good up-down movement I've added one more...

Hy, wanted to do the world tour by sailboat and realized is too slow and way too costly. Marinas, boats, maintenance are high expenses out of my budget. Somebody said that leaving aside an acid bath , the ocean is the most corrosive environment. An used sailboat could be a never ending repair...

HY, breathing, heating with propane creates moisture, in the winter is more evident due to cold surfaces and closed windows which traps the humidity inside. This is very bad for wood, matress, all other components. the only thing i've found is a mini dehumidifier on ebay, amazon. works on 12v ...

hy, i have 2 kids 6 and 2 1/2 years old. truck camper could work for you if you can fit a service box for external storage or buy a flatbed truck or a cab-chassis and fabricate some exterior aluminium storage boxes. sounds complex but it is not, just need a good welder. my storage boxes are...

a good controller has temperature sensor . regulates higher when is colder, saw mine at 15V on very cold days, even if it's set at 14.8V. found some 12v mini-dehumidifiers 36 watts on ebay, those should do the trick when camping in winter with windows closed. high humidity is really bad and goes...

e Hy, first you are substracting 9375 dually axle with your 2900 srw axle. a dually axle weight more than 2900 lbs due to the 4 tires. Second manufacturers plays very safe in USA for many other reasons. example 6475 lbs of payload on the back on the truck and you'll have a hard time braking in...
