The sprinter is already so tall, I really don’t want to add any storage space on the top. However, I would like to install a solar panel and mounting points for an awning, or tarp hook points.
The 2006 and earlier sprinters did not come with roof rack rails. I believe the 2007 and newer models [...]

The sprinter has enough space between the front seats to squeeze in an extra seat, and possibly a passenger. After much searching, I found a nice folding seat that comes from the center second row seat in a Ford Explorer. It has it’s own seatbelt, which makes installation a lot easier, and there’s [...]

I only have one key for the yellow submarine, and I hope I don’t lose it. I usually travel with other people, and juggling a key quickly becomes tiresome. I learned this while camping with 4 friends in the Westy in Maui. It’s always “Who has the key, where’s the key, can I borrow the [...]

For the roof I applied 2 layers of 3/4in foam. I used polyeurethane construction glue, [...]
