Unity / Re: Bed sheets and storage
Last post by cbaarch -
We have 3 pillows at the head of the bed - you lift the filler piece (shelf) and slide them behind that.  1 more goes into the storage beside the stereo.
the comforter goes into the top storage in the bathroom.  I roll the comforter - using bungee cords to keep it rolled
then i have a HD poly bag it fits in so it slides better in the storage at the back where it is wider.
and
a trick - before you start rolling the comforter first fold it back on itself for about 24".  then roll from the thicker end.
 It keeps it lined up instead of falling apart.
for the bungee cord - wrarp the cord around the one hook and pull thight - then slide the hook under the bungee cord and comforter.

If you want to solve the sway problem you need to upgrade parts of the suspension.
I installed Sumo Spring front and rear - made a big difference - Timbren is similar made in Canada
i run at just over 60 psi. both in Michelins in rear - Continental in the front

I will be using Ethernabond to redo the seals around the skylight and vents.  Lots of videos on how to install the ethernabond over the existing Dicor.

Unity / Re: Separate Surge Protection
Last post by cbaarch -
If you are looking at adding a surge protector on top of the one already installed please google how that is NOT a good idea.
I have the Surge Guard model 34520 from factory still works BUT it can take up to 2 minutes to cycle through the testing. I makes a clunk when done. I have a tester with a 15A to 30A adapter for the power pole that i use first to check the source and the inside outlets.  Some are GFI that need to be reset if not working.

The LP regulator/solenoid is off the coach batteries.
I have the AGM battery in the chassis - i pull the battery isolation cable beside the gas pedail (2016) with no trickle charge.
for later models you need to also pull fuse #32 which diconnects the small auxiliary battery
Temps in storage are as low as -15C / 5F for a period of 6 months

... I found that having the Propane turned to the "ON" position caused the solenoid to draw about an AMP.  This would kill the chassis battery in a couple of weeks.  Don't know if our LTV works the same, but I leave it off if the coach is not in use.
Oh Hell! Is the LP solenoid powered by the chassis battery? No wonder I've had problems keeping it charged. Over the winter I like to leave the heat (LP) on at a low setting to make sure my house Lithium batteries are warm enough to charge.  I have shore power to power the house side, and use a NOCO Genius10 on the chassis, but once in a while I get a "partially charged " alert from the Mercedes app.

LTV Discussion / Re: Considering a Downsize from Class A
Last post by Winnie -
My wife and I are on RV #6 and it's a Wonder MBL - LOVE IT!  Just downsized from a Nexus Ghost, a super C.  Thought we needed the extra space, blah, blah, blah.  Nope, the Wonder is Wonderful!  I did enjoy driving the Nexus but ran into all the issues with a 35 ft RV and the diesel and DEF are now gone.  Regular gas in a Ford that has all the power and smooth ride that is enjoyable between stops.  We hate flying, airports, and all that associated with that process and crush.  Looking back it was a no brainer and the quality is much better, so far, than we have experienced with other brands to include winnebago, nexus, forrest river, thor.  Have fun figuring it out.

Be sure and lock the sprinter cab doors with remote.  This will allow the sprinter/chasses to turn off ALL its computers.  This is a known M-B problem.  I have been doing this for years on various sprinters and it seems to help.
