New shocks?

I have a stock 2014 4 cylinder 2wd Sprinter with 200K miles. It has a very minimal build out; bed, ice chest, dresser. I am the 3rd owner. I don't believe that the stock shocks have ever been replaced. The van gets a lot of body roll when going over uneven terrain. I've thought about putting bump stops on it. But maybe it just needs new shocks. Does anyone have experience with putting new shocks on your older Sprinter? Did it make a difference?

How to proceed?

My camperized 2011 (2500/144 high roof, 196k miles) just got listed as totaled by my insurance company due to hail damage. I can have the van back + $5k or, they pay out $9300 and I surrender the van. The camper customization is worth nothing to the insurance company. Needless to say, I paid WAY MORE than I will ever get back on this. I know every situation is different, but I’m really bummed.

Alternator charger to power factory installed air conditioner ?

Is it possible to send power from my battery bank to the 12v car battery to power the air conditioner without running the engine ? I’m using the bluetti charger 2 with the apex 300 in a 2013 sprinter.

Sprinter Advice Needed!

Hello all!

I’m currently in the market for a Mercedes Sprinter. Seen above is a 2020 Mercedes Sprinter 1500 (4-cylinder) with 64k miles.

Given this is a more rare vehicle on the market, I’m not able to find too many comps, but curious on how much y’all would spend for this car!

Saw the car today, seemingly runs like a champ, no major issues reported, 2 owner, has full 9 passenger seats, told that servicing was done at 60k and no accidents reported.

Issues with the car: rear unit AC cover (on top of vehicle) is scratched and bent in requiring a replacement, there is a superficial dent on the driver side door, the left rear windshield wiper motor is out and needs replacement, and there are a couple interior panel rips, but nothing else to note.

I have 24 hours to purchase and all help would be appreciated. Time is of the essence and thank you in advance!

AC Unit Has Arrived

Just received my new Pioneer REC rooftop inverter rooftop AC unit for my Pro Master 2500 conversion. Was going to install an actual mini split, but I found this one, which is basically a mini split all in one. It's 115v and drops into a standard 14x14 hole and has a heat pump. Had no idea pioneer made this, as they are a leader in mini split brands. Now comes the fun part this weekend, getting it on the roof of my high roof van, lol. Anyone use this particular one let me know. I posted the link to it on the pioneer website if you are interested.

Meet Gomtuu

I just wanted to share my 2005 T1N Freightliner Sprinter, that my partner and I named Gomtuu (comment if you get the reference)! Haven't done a photo or video tour of the interior yet, but if there's interest I'll post a follow-up. Feel free to ask us questions about our rig and build.
