2018 Sprinter 4x4 144" Take 2

Would you mind sharing your wiring diagrams. If it is too difficult what about just your wiring and components for your solar panels, batteries, disconnects, inverters, etc.

this is a pretty good list

I don't have diagrams. I just do it because I know what i need, so I don't need to really plan it out

Finishing up the whole situation

Mounts for the box bolted on so i can position it and weld it in

Was going to add some gussets and stuff for the box, but even with the generator in there, there isnt any movement when closed, so perfectly happy with it.
Pulling the whole thing sunday for powder monday!

I think the LAST huge milestone before paint and putting it all back together

All the wood work is done. hinges and lifting/opening struts installed on all the upper cabinets to hold open, and vertical doors to keep them from closing on their own like on the last van. Super frustrating to try and get something out of the cabinet on a hill and the door keep hitting you. Also to prevent over opening and stressing the wood/hinges
I was going to blast it all apart today, but it has been super hot, and i have to do the lawn. So tomorrow after work, i should be able to start taking everything out.

all that is left is to paint the cabinets
Paint the ceiling
Put it all back together
Install table on mount (bamboo)
Finish final hookup of plubming once kitchen is backin
Cover the black wall panel in blue
Wire Espar Control panel onto that wall
Make some trim pieces for sides of cabinets and such

With the new days off, trying to get this thing done and get out there! Lots of florida to explore!

What LED lights are those that you have on your roof rack?

 

[freshlikesushi]

Been a little MIA because of work, a trade show, and just general life.
The entire interior is removed, powdercoated, and at the workshop waiting for me to put it all back together
Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr
Had to strip everything down to bare metal and go from there

After loosing the locking handle, because I was complacent, and left it on the back of the truck, then someone drove off a bit and i forgot. Is what it is. 4xinnovations got me a new one out for a good price and got that coated, and the swingout and everything installed today

even with my full weight pushing on the box, i cant get it to be anywhere near the door, confident in the spacing

Last but not least, I did not want to keep an 1 1/8th wrench around so i made some T handle nuts! All stainless, then polished

Plan tomorrow is to take out the side window, remake a new interior bezel, cover the wall and put it all back together to get the whole interior back in this weekend

I have to go monday to do an electrical system for a customer in savannah. So would like to be able to stay in the van the few days i am there

 

[Woodstockz]

Any issues with the obscured license plate?

 

[freshlikesushi]

will be moved eventually

 

[chickadee]

Have you taken corner weights, front / rear weight, or full weight after your conversion?

Beautiful build by the way. Will you have it at Expo East in November?

it isnt even fully completed yet. But the last one was right at 8k loaded

I will be in the dometic booth, and have a class im doing on saturday for sprinter building

Deadlines!

Have to leave sunday to go do an electrical system for a customer in Savannah (about 4 hours north)
Van is (as of this morning) completely apart because im lazy

So the race is on. Today was a big day of tidying up wiring ,painting the cabinet faces and some ceiling panels (where the cabinets go) and getting it all back together

Day started off with running out of fuel right next to work....go figure
Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr

Put some in and good to go, whatever

This little guy has put in work. Painted all the cabinets and drawers as well as the ceiling with no brush marks and a perfect finish using 50.00 a gallon cabinet paint. Worth it
Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr
Set up a nice outdoor painting situation, and make it happen
Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr
The main reason for pulling everything out other than powdercoating was to redo the window bezel behind the wall, cover that wall, wire the espar heater controller, and tidy up the wiring above the ceiling for the lights and awning that were temp tapped into the fan wiring, and now have their own fuse.

The spots are where i cleaned dirt, and dried fine, in case someone asks.

tomorrow, will be back at it and hopefully have the whole interior in by lunch, then come home and finish the plumbing and stuff. as long as i have my drawers and cabinet faces in, I will be happy

Got the subassemblies all put together and jazz to put in. Decided to do 1lb bottles this time around in a quick fist mount instead of 5lb tanks. Just easier.

Drawers need some adjusting to be perfect, but they have to come out anyways to have the faces sanded anda few more coats. the cabinet faces are good to go, but the drawers haven't had enough prep and paint. same with half the ceiling.

but that being said. the kitchen, cabinets and uppers are in for good!
Untitled by Grant Wilson, on Flickr
bamboo top on the lagun mount. best table mount ever!


so it is off to savannah we go tomorrow for a couple days of wiring and urban camping in the van, and then back to work on another customers cabinet set! And a few racks as well

This weekend, hopefully, I will pull out the rest of the ceiling, paint it, put it back in and work on some trim pieces to clean everything up on my van to get it ready for expo and some test runs!

 

[freshlikesushi]

well, emergency requires action.
Panama city needs us, so we shall rise to the call of action!
Packing up to go help the cajun navy and crowdsource rescue organization and start to the east of town and work in doing welfare checks, and clearing debris for people trapped. they have a killer ticket and organizational structure, so pretty confident we can move quickly.
