2006 Sprinter Conversion - For Work or Play

[Every Miles A Memory]

Nice build, I really like the cabinets!

IIRC, if the airbag deploys, the cover bascially moves aside so that the bag can deploy. So you'll need to work out some other method for instant tattoo/branding.

Seriously, nice build

Camping Set-Up…

We got away to Eastern Washington for some sun and fun…
Below are some photos of our camping set-up…


(above)We pulled into our first camping site and set things up like this…
The trailer is placed, then the canopy gets attached, raised and staked…Next the tables and chairs come out and the party is on…


(above) The canopy is simple…
A 10’ x 12’ white poly tarp sandwiched into a 5/4 x 4 cedar board on two sides…The trailer side has a pair of metal clips to hook onto the rings mounted to the roof of the trailer…


(above) The other side has 3/4” galv. electrical conduit for legs…A pair of ropes staked out hold everything fast…This campsite is known for the middle of the night, storm force winds, so I strapped 7 gallons of water to each leg…And I put bungees on the corners as shown above…That really made a huge difference in the hard gusty winds…Basically they act as wind shock absorbers…


(above) At another location I added this tarp extension to keep the late afternoon sun at bay…


(above) We set up our sites like this every night for eleven days on this trip and we just got back from a four day beach trip with the same set-up…We must be doing something right since so many campers came by to see exactly how we had everything so squared away…

I'm doing a custom conversion on a 2006 short wheelbase Sprinter...There are a ton of pictures in my documentation and as much as I'd like to post them all here, it just flat out takes a lot of time...So you should just click on the link to see what's up...

Thank you for posting this link to your fine and interesting work. I appreciate the opportunity to see both your personal truck and your new build.

Hey Mike.......how ya bin?

Paul,

Just been looking at your website.....awesome. We get a plane load of Americans over here for the Noosa Festival of Surfing each year.....if you're ever over, give us a call..... it'd be right up your alley. I was in the industry on and off from the late '70's to the mid '90's but never got into anything as beautifully crafted as the things I saw on your webiste. Well done.

Old Bill here lives in the street behind me and still builds hollow boards as you can see ........ been making these since the early '50's !!!!!


Regards John
