Installing VS30 (2019 - Current) seats in an NCV3 (2007 - 2018) Sprinter along with Apline Mechanism Swivels. I recently scored two brand new take out front seats from a 2022 VS30 Sprinter for $100 each with a plan to install them in my 2017 VS30. The seats came complete with air bags but the...

Continued from above... Don't mind the wet spots....Windex from cleaning off the mounting location. I cut the ends off on both power cables on the charger and shore plug. Made it a lot easier and cleaner to drill a smaller hole and use a rubber gromet to pass the wire through the body...

Continued from above.... Printing up some heat shrink labels for the charger wiring. A little bit of edge molding for abrasion protection. I tied the positive wiring into the house side of the master disconnect. (I know, I need to build a guard for the positive...

Onboard Charger..... This is something I haven't done yet since I just rarely ever need it. Once in the past few years I wished I had an onboard charger, we were camping at my mothers house and I had the van parked in the shade for multiple days so the solar wasn't able to top up the batts...

Keeping your rig clean on the road. Doing some cleaning this morning in preparation for Hood River Adventure Van Expo next weekend. Thought I'd share my vacuum setup that I carry with us in the van. It's an older Dyson unit that's running an adapter allowing me to use my Milwaukee Tool...

Custom Fiamma L-track Awning Crank tool Mounts. I usually carry my awning crank under my Mule Bag on the passenger side in the small fabric loops on the bottom side of the bag. While I love the location the handles are a bit larger than the shaft of the crank and hangs up on the loops making it...

Continued from above.... Trim piece covered. And going back together. Love the clean look! To channel the words of the Dude......It really ties the van together! :-) Hodakaguy

Continued from above.... On to the drivers side. Here's what it currently looks like without the trim piece. Drives me crazy. Pulled down the Mule bag and removed the panel. I trimmed a section of the fir strips to clear the trim piece. Test fitting. The trim piece is just a tad...

Continued from above..... Here I'm cutting out a piece out of the scrap portion of the upper trim piece. This will be used to cap off the cut end and make a nicer transition from the Terrawagen trip to the OEM trim. Covering the first piece with automotive tweed. I started by applying...

Let's finish out that interior trim! Stopped in at Terrawagen and picked up one of Eric's "Tidy Trim" kits. We're running a custom interior in our 2017 sprinter and for the last several years the trim around the B-Pillars and over the sliding door has remained unfinished. I keep saying I'm...

Hmmm...my 34" tires are rubbing on my custom tweed interior slider door panel. Let's fix that! While we were on a trip this weekend I noticed a black spot on the bottom edge of my interior slider door panel, yep the tire is lightly rubbing when the door is fully open....but just Barely! I'm...

Let's install some Hood Struts! The hood on the newer sprinters leaves a lot to be desired when it comes to the prop that keeps it open. You pop the hood then lift it up, then hold it up while you work your way over to the passenger side. Next hold the hood open with one hand and use the...

Continued From Above.... And all mounted up. You can see here how I configured my screens for now, soooooo many possibilities. Hodakaguy

Scanngauge Upgrade from the II to the III. If your not familiar with the Scanngauges they are almost a must have in my opinion. Totally customizable and allows you to see and monitor all the info that the vans ECU (computer) is able to see. You can watch things such as Coolant Temp...

Here's the info on the plane. As you leave Beatty just to the north you will find the remains of a BEECH C-45G airplane laying along side the road, under a sign for the now out of business "Angels Ladies Brothel". In 1977 the owners of Angels Ladies hired the plane for a promotional stunt...

Thanks Mate ? Hodakaguy

Snapped an early morning pic with my Phone this morning. Placed a pocket RGB light inside the van for a bit of color. Hodakaguy

Just returned from a 4k mile family road trip to AZ, Death Valley and NV. We had a blast and the Vans performed great! Dad loved his new camper setup! Sooooo much to explore out there, I absolutely love the AZ & NV Desert! Some of the Highlights from this trip: Bonny & Clyde's Death Car...
