Removing the Sprinter Radio and Repositioning the XM Antenna for Boondocking Days Ahead
I finally broke down and renewed my Sirius XM satellite radio subscription, which I hadn't had since 2014 when I was driving my Chevy. The Chevy was blessed with a fiberglass top, so you could just throw the antenna in the storage area over the front seats and get...
Chasing a Plumbing Leak in my Sprinter van
I had an eventful day solving a problem I always dreaded – a water leak in my Class B Sprinter campervan. The water pump was coming on briefly every 15-20 seconds, no matter how much I tried to get all the air out of my system. It could have been just a bit of...
Finding a Metal Faucet for Sprinter Galleys
OK, I admit it. I am just too rough on these plastic faucets that come with the SMEV/Dometic sinks in some Sprinter galleys. I've just broken my third one in four and a half years of fulltiming in my 2014 CS Adventurous. The last plastic one I put in came courtesy of...

After leaving the Roadtrek factory last week, we headed east down the St Lawrence, crossed southern Quebec, and entered Maine through a one-man border crossing far up in the hills on Highway 27. We came down the valleys through beautiful fall foliage, heading for the...
Hanging Out at the Roadtrek Factory – Again
Well, I succumbed to Jim Hammill's charms again, and I've been in Kitchener for the past couple of weeks. I was getting a check engine light that indicated a bad pressure sensor on the DEF pump, so I called up the factory to see if we could pull the fresh water tank...
