Re Sleep Mode. Thanks for all the information. It is possible that it did go into sleep mode, but when I press the big button everything comes back as it was before - fridge on etc. etc. Once out of storage, I think the first thing I will do is replace the batteries as they are old anyway. Then I wi...

Hi again VTXBE,

Do you think the red wire problem is at the back of the display above the windshield or somewhere else down to the computer by the battery charger?

I am hoping to to have to run a completely new red wire!

Any help would be appreciated.

Thanks for the reply and ideas. I will pop out the overhead computer and check the wires at the back.

It seems very strange that if the display is off, by pushing the big button it comes on again.

Cheers,

Ian

Last summer we had strange problems with the computer. Sometimes after driving, the display was off. Press the big button and it came on OK and all the settings had been saved. It is no problem to press the button when it happens, but my concern is if it totally fails and will not come back on again...

The cracks on my JC were at the top hinges. A bad place of course! Mercedes Canada has an affiliated high-end body repair shop called Mitec. They repaired the frames by bonding new plastic above and below each crack. Attached are a couple of images. The bond they used is not available in stores and ...

I am looking for the same thing.

Does anyone know where we can find one and / or does anyone have a 3D scan of the trash can?

Thank you,

Ian

Hi Rainerd,

Thanks a lot................... and guess what? It is available in Canada on Amazon for $45!

We will check it out. Cheers, Ian

Thanks for the idea. I wonder about Westfalia................... maybe they have something made for a Sprinter?

Our JC is in Canada and we have searched everywhere for bug screens for the sliding door and back door, without any success. The sliding door shape and fit seems to be an issue. We are going to be travelling in Germany in April and would like to pick up a set of bug screens to take back to Canada. D...

All great photos and descriptions. Thanks to everyone.

Hi Berry,

Can you please send me a few photos from behind the lower panel? I am particularly interested in how the water pipes are located and the pipe connections.

If easier, you can email them to me directly at: ianevans@sentex.net

Thank you,

Ian

Thanks Berry. I am looking forward to seeing other images of the complete lower panel removal.

Regards, Ian

Hi Berry, Re top section. 1. Remove the strip where my red line is. A few screws. 2. Remove light fittings and electrical socket from top of upper panel. 3. Feel behind upper panel for where the green plastic clips are attached. From memory, 1 or 2 at bottom and same at top. 4. Rest of panel is atta...

I need to remove the panel below the dining window (see image). The whole panel below the red line with the 2 red arrows. I know how to remove the upper panel above red line but not the lower one.

Has anyone done this, and if so what is the best way to approach the job?

Thank you!

Our central computer works fine with all functions. On a recent trip I noticed that after driving on a rough road, the display had gone off. I pressed the big button and it came back on with all the functions working as they had before. This has happened a couple of times now. Maybe there is a loose...
