OWL Sprinter Van DIY Installer of Ladder/Tire carrier
I finally got the courage to drill the hole in my perfect rear door. That is the hardest part. My van is a 2019 Sprinter Van sold as a 2020 Winnebago Revel that I got only a few months ago. It did not come with a spare tire so I bought a matching rim and tire so if I need to change a tire I can keep going at regular speeds. To be honest, I didn't even check to see if it would fit underneath. I have plans on upgrading the suspension and tires to a larger size so I'd have to do this eventually anyways.

DIY Fast Project - Sprinter Van Hood Struts Install
Просмотров 15Месяц назад
I wanted to install the hood struts. I can't believe at the cost of a sprinter van you don't get struts, but anyway, I didn't want to pay over $100 for struts as I have replaced many on cars and know they don't cost more than $30 to replace a set. Since this came with extra hardware I was OK with the higher price of $42.33. I also didn't want to pay $140 at some 'other sites', (you know what I'...

I searched many videos and never got the details I was looking for. Many had interesting information such as Mercedes admitting the mistake but I wanted to fix it, many say just unplug it.

Can you put the link to buy it?
The one I bought when I did this is no longer available. a.co/d/5RSHbfc you should be able to buy a 20” bar of your choice and have a similar installation process.
My fan is blinking when I turn it on suggestions
@@alexandriarodrigues8165 I always test my connections before I button it up, sometimes if the light setting is too low on LED it could blink. Try higher setting and if still blinking check your wiring again. Others may have more info to offer.
What does this do exactly? I am waiting for my new speaker to arrive and I saw you video. How does it change or affect the sound?
From my understanding and research, the wiring was switched. So when the Mercedes system has a message to you it is at a louder volume to be louder than what is coming through the system, but because it was switched at the factory the music is loud and bottoming out the cheap speaker making it sound horrible. Switching the wires makes it the way it was designed. It sounds better but the system still could use an upgrade. New speakers would be ideal along with this basic fix.
@@AaronRobertson Aaron, thanks for your reply. I have a 2013 Sprinter 3500 with a Stinger Heigh10 head unit. Question: Why not just swap the plastic plug sides? I am sorry, I did not understand which wires you are switching, it looks like you are pulling the Gry/Wht from the black plastic connector and putting it in the the white connector. Then, pulling the GRN/WHT wire from the White connector and putting it into the Black plastic connector? I thought the double wire was an in/out bridge so the door speakers are all playing the same as the center dash speaker? I also have rear speakers in my overhead because this system is in a Leisure Travel Van Unity RV. The sound system is not very good for such a big vehicle. I had a VW Vanagon with an under powered stereo/speaker system. I added a Rockford Fosgate subwoofer amplifier (placed anywhere in the vehicle) that gave the sound I was looking for. ruclips.net/video/cBwuLUL2g9A/видео.html Thanks again for your video. If I have what you are saying correct I will try it.
@ so the reason the wires swapped the plastic pieces was because they are of different sizes. Not sure if it was the same for a 2013. I too had an 84 Westfalen and also was gutless. My second campervan was a pleasure way traverse. Same layout as the west y but on the eco online chassis. Loved it, but this time wife really wanted a bathroom.
@ I like that speaker. Been watching a lot of videos on custom sound systems. Not sure what to do. Want to get upgraded suspension, long range tank first.
@@AaronRobertson OMG. Same situation. I put $80k into my '89 Vanagon with a STI Subaru motor to fix the "Gutless" condition ( I had 4 of different models Multi, Full Camper, Weekender and ended up with the full camper) It was to be my retirement van to drive across the USA and Canada. I had Recaro seats, new paint job from Ceasar @California Westy's, working AC etc. Then my wife says, I don't share your retirement plans......so, I could travel alone or buy something bigger with a shower and toilet. We were renting 40' Diesel pushers and loved some things about the luxury travel but did not like the parking or access into shopping centers etc. We found the Leisure Travel Van Class B+ with a porcelain toilet and separate shower, it was the minimum acceptable for her, meaning the shit, shower & brush your teeth all in one spot bathroom did not cut it!. I have rebuilt just about everything on this 2013 rv and love it. No she wants slide-outs and bunk over the cab with two more beds to bring more people. I said maybe if it gives me all the more modern controls like adaptive cruise control, lithium batteries and auto levelers etc. I will try your wiring when I replace my speaker and see if it makes a difference. The Rockford Fosgate amp/sub really worked well for me as it is smaller, hides anywhere and has great sound. Cost is lower than installing other sub woofers in the cabinets. I bought it online during a sale and had a stereo shop wire it up for $50. Deal!
Wow Good job What are the dimensions of the base board? Thanks
@@crimson20ful it is a 4’x8’ sheet of OSB plywood
@@crimson20ful and thank for the compliment. Appreciate it.
Can you install it without the extension pipe? I have a low ceiling.
I do not believe so. It is the only connecting piece. There are no other extensions. Also means you can’t hang it lower from a high ceiling.
Thanks for the video....Can i replace a pendant light only fixture with this one? Does it require a separate switch/wiring for the light and fan to operate independently?
Yes. You can replace a pendant light. It only needs power. the operations are controlled with the remote.
Is it Bright White of Daylight White?
It is a warm light. Not sure the k scale but maybe on the box.
Why can't the metal frame stay? I can't find the answer?
If you mean the metal frame of the original framework, it does. The 2x2 attaches to it as it is easier to screw in the polycarbonate panels.
I would buy some.
@@dianemorris3536 it was so good! Can’t wait for my apple trees to get bigger.
I have a fan that has a switch to turn on the fan and switch for the light. I want to install this fan will mines always be having the pink wire i need to cap off?
Hard for me to say for sure but sounds like how mine was set up. Switch for light and switch for fan. But this fan only needs power and you control everything with the remote. So highly likely same situation as mine. If unsure definitely talk to a certified electrician.
Bryce Canyon Utah?
Nope, but getting closer!
Arizona
@@Aviation-Dude315 good guess but different state :)
So sick!
Thanks Marcus. Much appreciated!
I installed today, but it was not powered on…not sure why. But returning to Costco tomorrow.
Hmm hard to say with out being there. I normally test it before I completely finish the install to ensure it works. Even if you have power going to it, you still need to use the remote to initially power it on. And you need to ensure the battery is connected, usually a clear plastic you remove.
Very cool, Aaron.
@@sudhirvannadil6362 thanks Sudir!
Why is the steel for the hex screws so soft? Start with an battery screwdriver then end with a ratchet.
Cheap screws from China probably.
BTS 💯
Haha you caught that. I’ll show my wife.
Does it beep when you turn it on via the light switch?
Indeed it does so long as it was on when your light switch was turned off. So if you had the fan light on and used your switch to turn it off, the next time you used your light switch to turn it on you would hear the beep. So anytime it is powered on.
What type of bulbs it uses?
@@burundisledge2373 no bulbs, integrated LED lighting
@@AaronRobertson are they changeable? I want to install Govee lights
@@burundisledge2373 good question. I never looked to change them. Not sure how easy it would be to remove the cover to expose and see the connection. I guess if you are handy enough you may be able to swap them out.
Not changeable, but they should last for longer than the owner
Do you think it would work on a vaulted ceiling?
I think it depends on the slope of your ceiling. The hanging portion fits into a ball type socket so it will hang straight down. But not sure it is long enough shaft for a steep slope.
Remember the shaft cannot be any longer as the wire harness has a set length! So if you want let’s say a foot to two foot shaft in order to lower the fan you would need make an extended wiring harness so you can run the wires down the longer harness. I suppose it could work. Just cut and splice a wire extension. Sry just being nosy as I am planning on buying this fan. Just saw it at Costco today it was for $149.99
@@BigOHavingFun no that’s great. Good info to share. Usually fan kits have extension for vaulted ceilings but this one didn’t.
Thanks for posting this and addressing the fact that you can go ahead and just cap the red wire. The heads up on the pin and the screws, how far to screw them in so they can still catch the screw cover probably save me 20 minutes alone!
@@ntt2232 super glad it helped you out. The whole reason I do these is in hopes it will help someone.
Belated happy birthday🎉
@@Olen-e7m thank you!
Sand island🎉
Good eye! You paddle there?
Were you able to hit a stud with the other 4 bolts or did you only bolt into the sheetrock?
@@PaulWodarczyk I hit studs. Super solid, it was solid just getting into the light box. The prevyfan was only attached to the box and was fine as well.
@@AaronRobertson I didn't hit any studs, but it solid with just the 2 light box bolts.
@@AaronRobertson I didn't hit studs, but it is pretty solid with the 2 bolts from the light box.
What is the color temperature of the LED - is it 3500K or 4000K?
@@RitmoProductions it wasn’t in the book or Costco.com so I looked it up on ártika.com (mfg website) and they stated 3000k
Creek is a slow moving bit of water, streams are well streams of water subject to large fluctuation..
@@reelchef67 thanks for adding that. I need to look on a map and see what they call it.
@@AaronRobertson Then Hop in your traverse and go there in person as it looks beautiful
@@reelchef67 hitting this place again on Saturday!
@@AaronRobertson That would be a great spot for a remote control jetboat like the "thrasher" . I was just cleaning my traverse camper van today in prep for a trip. Have fun
@@reelchef67 I actually printed an RC jet boat. The M-Jet. Out of all the vehicles I have owned I miss my Traverse the most. But we recently got a newer camper van. Wife wanted a dedicated shower/toilet area. Good idea for the jet boat on that creek. I have to finish some backyard projects but I need to jump on getting the boat built. But also want to take the camper van out.
I don't hand out too many thumbs up on RUclips... But I gave this one 👍... great job... looks real...great layout 👏💯

Creek is peaceful, Stream is after heavy rains or storms, water come down from higher mountain.
@@hsiaowanglin9782 thank you, so stream is more temporary it sounds like.
Depends on the region and local history, more subjective. Otherwise, except for the size, there really isn't much of a difference . That's according to the U.S. Geological Survey.
@@rangerdad11 ah, interesting. Thanks!
When it is shallow and narrow, it's a creek, when it's wide and more deep, it's a stream.

@@JaneJones-uh5le it's so true! Moab is amazing that way ~ my husband and I have taken our family down to Moab several times as well, and it's so wildly beautiful, and all it costs is gas and food ~ you can hike, explore, even drive and explore (which is what we did this last time, because I'm in a wheelchair now) but even then, the driving tour is phenomenal!
