Check your sportsmobile wiring!

And what holds that guttered track on to the van? I dont see any other bolts, aside from them. In any case, I will have to do some fabrication to address the issue.

The other side has about a half-inch of metal before a drilled hole in encountered. So, one side was done peroperly, the other... not so much. There really is no excuse, maybe ineptness... The wiring? Don't get me started on that one...

And no, Bill, the wire is in fact where it was as depicted. Like Commander Worf said to Jean-Luc Picard, "If you were any other man, I would kill you where you stand..."

That is a cool van, don't post a picture like that and run away, do you have a build/van info thread yet?

It is pitiful to think you pay a "professional" to do a job and that's the quality of workmanship you get..

It's taking me a long time to do my own conversion, however this is evidence that I made the right decision to do so. It's also taken the enthusiasm out of SMB's for me...When I saw one on the 405 yesterday, instead of my normal excitement... I kinda felt sorry for the guy, spend $100k + and you'd never know what you bought until you tear it apart and thoroughly examine it ..

I would ask for my money back, because there really is no way to repair or replace a roof that has been hacked away like that... or the confidence in their workmanship... I don't care if the guy that did was drunk, stoned, or cross eyed.. WHERE WAS THE SHOP FOREMAN ?????

There is no excuse. PERIOD.

Don't get me started on the 10lbs of self tapping screws in installed in zig zag formation.

Obviously none of you have bought a new house. same sh! tty quality, way more money.

I can understand missing the grommet, done it myself on blind holes. But I caught it in self QA.

That roof cut looks like on-the-job training.

Not me, how can I understand two holes drilled, a plastic grommet put in one (for the wire) and the wire going through another drilled hole? That was done by someone in a hurry, not wanting to snake the wire properly, not to mention lack of use of a wire loom.

Additionally, if you zoom in on the last bolt, you'll see the nut is cock-eyed. Will take a closer pic.

Anyone says this is ok, will you buy my van when it's done?

I didn't say it was OK, just that I can see how it would happen.

The sawzall hack is completely unacceptable. My son cut better than that when he was seven.

The channel mount in my SMB doesn't look like the one pictured that's for sure. What a hack job!

Where is the sponsor ??? Has anyone noticed that this is the most activity the SMB thread has received since SMB West became the sponsors of it. Not much going on over here lately.

Ignorance is bliss.
