I’m writing this a little in the past, but i have started my conversion project of a 2008 315CDI Mercedes Sprinter from a standard panel van to a camper-van.

I started the planning stage with a good read of the Sprinter source forum a great resource for anyone considering a conversion of one of these vans. A great resource for anyone that even drives one of these vans.

I started to muck about in sketchup until i found a layout that roughly met my needs. My first wish was to have a permenantly set up bed, as i was going to be using the van for work, the last thing i needed after a days work was to have to make your sleeping area up. The second wish was for the exterior of the van to still look like a cargo van. The rest was fairly standard RV stuff. Fridge, water heater, air heater all would have to be installed.

I’ll get some posts made up with the specifics of the conversion process.

Engine light came on on the van this week, a 2009 1.6hdi 75 Berlingo. Got around to plugging my OBD scanner into the port and I’m getting the dreaded P0405 error: Exhaust Gas Recirculation Sensor A Circuit Low

This website gives a very good troubleshooting flow. I think in my case because the van is re-mapped and gives quite a bit of smoke that the EGR probably just in need of a good cleaning. I’ll give it a clean and post back with my results

After a leave of absence, I finally have my website back online.

To follow: random ramblings and discoveries, again…
