Brian this video is great. I wanted to find some information on the Kelderman Air Bag system. Thanks for keeping it real and so informative. This looks to be nothing but quality and should last a very long time.
Excellent story and well executed. You are a top level photojournalist. I say this as a former associate editor of a major car magazine. Congratulations and keep up the great content.
That was a great tour. Just cool to know that's not only made in the USA, but also in Iowa. Love seeing people use their abilities to better other people's lives.
Very interesting video Brian. From 1989 to 2004 I worked for a company that sold and installed Kelderman air ride suspension systems. So I can see they have come a long way since then. As a metal fabricator of 47 years, I can really appreciate new technology. The quality of workmanship is great. Thanks again for making this video.
Great video! I enjoy it when you include content to do with the Grech RV. I am looking forward to purchasing one in the near future so any hands on info is always good.
Super cool and useful! Great to see how the system is manufactured in our van. Can’t wait to see the next model year van and how you like the new chassis. Safe travels!
Thanks so much for doing this video…. This had to been the best one you have done. Being a trucker, RVer, racer and fabrication guy I totally enjoyed this one 👍👍👍👍👍
For all the car people out there I am sure this was a very informative, and helpful video. For me when he started explaining I went 🤪🙃🤪. I believe wherever Michelle was I would have been with her for this taping 😂😂 safe travels!! 😁
Great Video thank you. One this I'm curious about is what on average are your monthly operating and maintenance cost for the RV. I have a good feel for what my payment will be on this RV but would really appreciate it if you could do a video on this to help me budget for this van. 🙏
We did a video about 3 years ago of what “our” total costs were for the entire year. What our costs are now would not be helpful since we are only testing the Strada-ion and do not have a payment. You’ll find this discussed in many of our previous videos. Everyone’s expenses can greatly differ depending on how they travel, what they do for entertainment and other costs like eating out etc. But again, our total costs video should help give you an idea. 👍🏻😊🤓
We both don’t recall which video that was, so sorry. I thought I had put it in the description so that it could be searched by going to our channel, then videos, then search. It could possibly be in this video link below, but we are in a public place right now and not able to check. ruclips.net/video/bo_q6VAnH5g/видео.html
I have a 2017 3500 sprinter van that I’m interested in putting air ride system, would you say this substantially make a big difference on ride when hitting fine to bigger road bumps on the road a smoother ride.. ? Great vid!!
Since the van came this way new from Grech RV, we didn’t drive a Sprinter without the air suspension before driving this. We have heard it makes a difference though.
I would like to know what it costs for an upgrade at Kelderman for a sprinter 3500XD. Looks like it is $5600 on the website. I wonder how much more is install and sway bar?
Great question. Kelderman does not install them on the Grech models, Grech does just like other companies do the same. If someone is interested in Kelderman doing the install on their own Mercedes, they would need to contact Kelderman Manufacturing directly by phone or through their website for a quote.
Weird question for this video, but in a video a couple of years ago you made peanut butter smoothies. What flavor was the protein powder you used? It was in the "our rv life at work video. Thank you!❤
@LivinRVision thank you for such a quick response! I've been watching you for a couple of years, but I've been binge watching your videos from the beginning for the last couple of days. My husband and I were born and raised in Des Moines, and are still here! Always fun to see your videos back in Iowa.
Great video, made so by interviewing 'the' knowledgeable person, wow. He new hes $het. I wish you would have asked him - if they could do something better, what would it be
You have to remember that Mercedes doesn’t build them for the purpose of an RV with top heavy weight, that companies like Airstream, Coachman and Grech RV build these units out with cabinets up high and then their customers load them up. So each company has there own engineers that design what they believe is needed to make for a better ride and safer experience for the consumer. 👍🏻😊

The mix of manual processes and automation is cool to see. It’s nice to know this kind of business is thriving in Iowa!
👍🏻 Thoroughly impressed with this company. Top notch quality.

Brian, I know you love this kind of mechanical stuff and how cool to meet this guy!
Ok this was very interesting, BUT . WHERE IS MICHELLE? I missed her.
Awesome tour !

Great information, to bad I didn’t hear much of what he said..😊😊😊
Noisy place that’s for sure and was having troubles with directional mic so wasn’t able to use it.
Very interesting.
where can I find the clip where you talked about the switch to the Kelderman air suspension?
We both don’t recall which video that was, so sorry. I thought I had put it in the description so that it could be searched by going to our channel, then videos, then search. It could possibly be in this video link below, but we are in a public place right now and not able to check.

We just made them today. It’s the Orgain brand of Chocolate flavor. The best deal you can get is at Costco. Larger container too. 👍🏻😊🤓

Hey fellow Des Moines peeps! Hopefully next time we are back in Iowa, we can get a chance to meet you guys. 🧡😊🤓
@LivinRVision My husband and Brian seem to have the same sense of humor. Very much alike. 😁
Just not the same without Michelle. Informative video
I agree 👍🏻😊
Great video, made so by interviewing 'the' knowledgeable person, wow. He new hes $het. I wish you would have asked him - if they could do something better, what would it be
I can’t believe how poor the MB suspension is from the factory

Did not know that was in Iowa. Get some pie for Michelle after work!🤓😎🥸
Waste of money. The originals are fine.
For someone that has tested both over a long period of time, we can tell you with all certainty that the Kelderman system has been better.
