What Did You Do in your Sprinter Based RV Today?
Trying to get people who own them to post their experiences; Yesterday I installed a MUCH louder horn "Bad Boy" from Harbor Freight, easy install. Also added more shelving in the Bathroom closet.

Just completed a 15 day, 1500 mile excursion hitting 4 northwest states: WA ID MT and OR. A few things learned:
(1) the rig will drive itself for the most part. Correcting wobbles simply leads to over correction.
(2) Cab a/c is a fuel killer - avoid and use the coach a/c.
(3) Over 60 ain't thrifty. Best mileage was hovering around 59mph regardless of terrain, weather, heat, etc. 16.8 tops, 14.9 bottoms, 15.7 trip average.
(4) Drive the Ponderosa Scenic Hwy once for the experience, then stay the heck away from it. Drive the Over the River and Through the Woods scenic and the ID 200 scenic OFTEN.
(5) Whenever in Idaho stay at Healds Haven. In Oregon always stop at Crystal Crane Hot Springs. Lolo Hot Springs MT has awsome ribs and Brooks Memorial state park in WA is an excellent winding down stop.
Gad, was a blast!
