~ snap traps worked well. Will “reload” and put all back in place. Will try that aluminum application next year.
First run of the season to Bay View on wind down after the Valentine’s Day weekend. [emoticon]

A recheck of the Dometic refrigerator is needed. Works fine with freezer compartment at 27 to 29F, then warms up to 36F before chilling down? [emoticon]

(There is a wireless temperature transmitter inside.) Sitting on the apron, been steady on 26F the past 24hrs? [emoticon]

I'm intrigued by the foil. Can you show us a pic?

I gotta learn how to upload pics. Anyway, I cut 4 sheets of BBQ strength aluminum foil( from the biggest roll you can find in the store), back up the Sprinter, place them in front of each tire then drove on to them with my wife making sure I stop in the middle so wheels are all centered. Works like a charm in an area with lots of field mice/deer mice out partying all the time.Last winter I didnt have them under the wheels and we had a micey mess to clean up! Sorry I dont have a pic for you right now. Regards AL.

Installed a ScanGauge, and took it for a 15 mile drive to fill it up with fuel

Today I dug my RV out of the snow, cleared the snow at the curb, backer her out, cleared the snow off the windshield, and took her for a short ride. On Tuesday I started her after not being run for about a month, ran the engine and started and ran the generator for about a half hour.

She still has about a foot of snow on her top.

I also informed my wife that I am not going to leave the RV in the snow while we fly south. I didn't buy her to sit in the snow. Next winter I shall drive her south. Wife and dogs are welcome.

I am going to start to put things together for the coming RV season including, maybe, a little winter camping.

What kind of information can you get with the ScanGauge? Does it give information on CHECK ENGINE LIGHT CODES as well? I am definitely interested in one ... depending on the information it provides. Maybe you can Private Message me with details.

Thanks

OUCH!!!!!!

I just finished having my 48,000 KM maintenance service preformed at the local Mercedes dealer. I know it's not cheap, but this seems ridiculous to me. Oil and filter, new fuel filter, new air and cabin filter, a full suspension and brakes inspection. Lubricant all doors and locks. All this for just under $1000. $933 to be exact. Granted $107 was for the government coffers.

Unfortunately I do not have the tools, the skills or knowledge to do much of this myself. I am going to start looking into some of the things I might be able to do myself ... I'll do some networking with other Mercedes Sprinter owners when the opportunity presents itself.

They also replaced an oxygen sensor under warranty due to a CEL error. This is the second sensor they have replaced in the past year.

They also ordered a new seatbelt buckle that has a broken wire that resulted in the SRS light staying on. This is warranty as well.

So that in essence cost me approximately 9 tanks full of gas ... or on average 7000 - 8000 km worth of driving. [emoticon]

One the bright side this has been the only expense on the chassis for the past year.

I was making my annual trip to Quartzsite and I felt my 04 Excel misfiring. It was intermittent, didn't do it all the time. Finally got eng ck light and because of the scan gauge I was able to scan while underway. It indicated that #6 was misfiring. Replaced all the plug coils precautionary. Handy gadget.

Got the generator oil changed, antenna crank lubed, and the AC/heat pump filter checked and cleaned.
