I think this is a pretty nifty conversion. Wonder if they will produce one this year.....

 

 

Some good ideas for DIYer's

 

Happy New Year!

Very nice!

 

Can't let the Sportsmobile folks have all the FUN!

Some great ideas.  No sure I'd put a toilet in, etc. but would be a fun DIY!

Reisemobile in Germany has been building one like that for a long time. Looks like they got most of their ideas from them.

I have one on order, due to arrive early March, 2018.  Can't wait!

I considered doing a 4 x 4 Sprinter conversion (my neighbor just did a great one) for my next build OR just buying the Winnebago.

 

But at the end of the day the jury is still out in my mind on how well a uni-body 'sort of 4 x 4' is going to handle the sort of semi-gnarly tracks we still like to get back into. Its not that a Sprinter couldn't do this stuff. But I like having a margin of safety/capability. Also the Sprinter is really TALL too!

 

So we were led back to a Ram 3500 chassis cab with a custom flatbed and a Grandby Flatbed model for our next build. But different strokes.

Congrats on your new purchase and welcome to the Sprinter club. I think you will find the Sprinter format very enjoyable. I do so much that I am working on my second build. One suggestion I might make would be to adjust/relocate the heater exhaust. I looked at it when I saw it at an RV show and told the Factory Rep. that it would get torn off quite easily even with mild off-road travels. Post some pics once you take delivery.

I'll take a look at the heater exhaust.  Thanks for pointing that out.  I think it was mentioned on the Revel Facebook page https://www.facebook...s/winnebago4x4/

That's pretty trick.

 

I can't believe I didn't think of installing a Ram mount for my iPad in my FWC up in the bed area where I watch movies!
