    Your Sprinter Sleeper

    I drove a 170" sprinter with 10' of cargo room with a wall and I done really well with that set up. Yea I lost loads and maybe lost some money but I still did good an had enough money in my pocket at the end of the week where I was happy. I like that set up knowing I had some wiggle room and a...

    Do You or Do You Not Use The Power Deck System?

    Come to think of it an electronic winch would better. Rig up something that attaches to the floor with e track. Should be easy to set up once you figure a good mounting system

    Do You or Do You Not Use The Power Deck System?

    They are easy to crank. Out in the lake and our boat motor quit. We used the trolling motor to get back to shore and used it to get back no the trailer. Its got low drive system so its easy to crank with a load. I'm sure it will pull a heavy pallet to the rear without much trouble. I think the...

    Do You or Do You Not Use The Power Deck System?

    You could use a hand crank like they use to drag a boat on a trailer. They are very cheap. Just not sure how you would mount it unless you rigged up some kind of attachment point off the bumper or tow hitch. I use a tow strap with hooks on the end to drag pallets but left it in Laredo a few...

    The Sprinter Wanna Be's

    I think the thing that takes the sprinters edge especially the new ones is cost to maintain and replace parts and downtime doing so. Take fuel mileage out of the picture the American vans are better especially when anyone and their mama can work on them and any parts store has parts. But gotta...

    Chef Dennis's New CargoMax

    Been looking into getting one found a few 2012 cargo max models both in Arizona. Found a few 2012 Spartan 12 ft for 23k new which would work good but I would like room for a small bed with 3 pallets if possible. Spent many days sleeping in driver seats.

    Here's my Sad tale....

    Dennis i wonder if the clogged cat is what is causing my def problems with the light staying on.? But holy cow its expensive to replace. Maybe all my problems boil down to a clogged cat or dpf. Don't see why someone hasn't come up with a dpf bypass yet seems tons of people have trouble with them
