Re: newbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please
so I talked to green engineering and they don't do anything for the new v6 diesel, said it would cost way to much. So much for that thought. Actually its fast enough in stock condition and will leave it alone. Going to order the ez oil change equipment and change oil myself every 3 k miles and carry a set of speed sensors, or least the right rear with me wherever I go. I live in Houston and travel mostly in deep south so I'm thinking straight approved 40 weight as it seems to hold viscosity better. Is there a good Mercedes parts house to order mercedes parts from? Going to take short initial trip for this weekend and towing small boat and start enjoying this beautiful coach. Appreciate all info. I quit diesel A class because of to much maintenance and have been enjoying 5th wheel but I want to explore more and not be hindered by gigantic coaches, I just hope this doesn't get into nightmare. chuck577Views0likes0CommentsRe: newbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please
thanks charlesinatlanta, great info and gives some hope on this beautiful RV. Has anybody seen this guy in sacramento by name of Stephens or read any of his stories? I have and don't know what to make of this guy. Is he a nut job or looking for the $ only? Sounds like a very knowledgable experienced Mercedes blue tech mechanic but scares the **** out of me and makes me want to sell my sprinter now! After reading his story it seems like way more maintainence than I signed on for. This is just one more toy for this old guy and have a large boat that requires LOTS of maintainence and don't have time for another maintainence responsibility. However I tried a gas V10 and don't like that and still want a small c class. This is only diesel in small rv. So please gentlemen any opinions are appreciated.577Views0likes0CommentsRe: newbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please
thanks for ALL info, I think ive read enough to scare the **** outta me! I'll give it a go and see how they work. Thanks for info about sprinter forum, I'll be checking that out. No chip for me until I see what this rig does. I'm picking up rig from Indoor RV center north of dallas today and start my experience. Not sure what all I expect to be better than USA C class other than slightly smaller, quieter! And better MPG. Ive bought a new 5th wheel from indoor Rv 3 years ago, BEST rv compnay to deal with by far from what I can tell. I tried to buy local (houston) but nobody compares to INDOOR RV.578Views0likes0CommentsRe: newbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please
well it feels a real driving machine and I always improve on my other vehicles and love to enhance that. Ive got a chip in 6.7 diesel ford and have one in newer Z06 corvette, (just out of warrantee) BUt yes, I'll give a few trips before I do it. thanks.98Views0likes0Commentsnewbie to sprinter/mercedes, lots of question! help please
Working my way down and love sprinter C class. Bought a 2015 Forester with 15k miles. Never owned a Mercedes and would like to know what to watch out for? I've seen some comments about their pollution problems a while back. Anybody ever install performance chip in there RV? I could use a little more power to tow small boat. Any advice will very much appreciated!5.1KViews0likes18CommentsRe: want to put my rv into rental agency, which one is best?
Thanks a lot for your ideas/opinions, 99% say no! But here I am enjoying this 2017 MH and its in absolutely perfect shape after 27k miles of renting. That's pretty much why I'm thinking about it. I have tried to contact RVshare but it seems they are busy and don't return calls. So I scheduled a phone call with them later today and I'll ask away. Grab some popcorn and stay tuned!323Views0likes0Commentswant to put my rv into rental agency, which one is best?
I just bought a class C short RV, already have a 5th wheel and wife doesn't like the C its a great previous rental, 2017 in perfect shape. Ive decided to justify keeping this beauty I would rent it out and see how that goes. But with so many scams out there I'm looking for the best one that is out there. I've been approached from a few questionable individuals and I want to be careful. thanks, any help is appreciated. I just joined and not sure how well this works.
