Note!
We have a couple scratches along the side near top and a few little dents. I am having the dent guy look at it and see what he can do with them. If you are looking for a van that hasn't been used, this isn't it. She's in great condition, but no garage queen.
Will deliver fully detailed inside and out.

Any feedback on price? What seems right?
I took the price of a typical RBComponents Van and reduced it by 100k. To be fair, most of the internals are RB kit that I installed myself. That said, we didn't do interior galley stuff and a few other things they typically do like onboard water or a heater.

I’m looking into Onboard WiFi for my Sprinter.
You have a nice solution and it is a great location.
Would you go this route again? Same Pepwave?
Any issues with being behind the headliner as far as signal strength goes?
Thank You
Did you add an external antenna?

What are you going to use instead of the van?
I have an external antenna and was anticipating needing it, but honestly we haven’t yet. but our use case isnt remote work or staying connected when camping, it’s more about keeping the kids occupied when on the road and upload for the victron data. Both of those use cases aren’t super stringent about trying to always stay connected. The pepwave is outstanding kit tho.
the million dollar question really. We just aren’t sure yet. We have a 2020 Ford F-250 Tremor that’s dying for some trips tho.
