It’s a Sprinter specific code scanner, so it actually reads the codes more specifically than a generic scanner. Taking full advantage of the proven 4×4 Mercedes-Benz Sprinter chassis, the Revel’s 3-liter turbo-diesel puts 325 lbs./ft. I was too anxious to wait for Winnebago to offer their 4×4 Mercedes Sprinter RV, so I departed on the trip in my SUV and planned to buy the Winnebago Revel as soon as they became available. Before I left on this trip I was debating buying the Winnebago Travato, but decided that it was too large and not capable enough for my needs. The Winnebago Revel is finally here! Designed specifically for outdoor enthusiasts like me, the Winnebago Revel is based on the highly popular Mercedes-Benz Sprinter 4X4 platform. The code scanner that we use for our Sprinter is the iCarsoft Mercedes/Smart MB II. Both of us grew up in households where our parents taught us how to use tools, how to troubleshoot, and how to do our own repairs. Nate grew up surrounded with building projects, learning at a young age how to weld, frame a house, plumb, and run electrical. It’s inevitable. When you live in a van (especially one that is 11 years old like ours), you will eventually run into engine problems.
And troubleshooting was a big part of vehicle ownership, especially when his vehicle was nearly as old as he was. Our 16 year old “date nights” were spent pulling pistons and cleaning oil pans rather than going to dinner and a movie. The Sprinter inherited the ability to trailer 5000 pounds of weight from the last year' s model. What I had was about $2,000, which I could either spend on a junker car that would last maybe a year (and save up for another one) or I could fix the truck that I did have available to me. When it came to vehicles, he was always expected to basic repairs on his truck by himself. With the B-Class F-CELL, the A-Class E-CELL, the smart fortwo electric drive and the Vito E-CELL, the company offers four locally zero-emission vehicles, all of which are equally ready for series production. The 2021 Mercedes-Benz E-Class offers a jacked-up station wagon and luxury features for its lineup. The Revel offers an on-demand 4WD system, complete with high/low range and hill descent mode for added off-road capability. In addition to the standard-fit electrohydraulically controlled brake system Sensotronic Brake Control (SBC) and the Electronic Stability Program ESP, the new AIRMATIC DC (Dual Control) air suspension system, which simultaneously controls the springs and dampers by means of advanced microelectronics, was available as an optional extra.
Other features include a standard solar power system, all-electric galley (induction cooktop) and compressor refrigerator. The floor plan revolves around the standard European style rear “gear garage” with a power lift bed above it. In the Handling or Moving-Base Driving Simulator one floor up, the focus is on the topic of safety and self-assurance. Inside, the Revel’s unique features start with a floor plan designed around a 140-cu. ft. A new feature is the possibility to start the pre-air conditioning via the internet or a smartphone at any time. If your check engine light comes on, it is important to start troubleshooting right away - a check engine light is not something you should ignore. Turn to Google. Type in the codes that you pulled and the type of vehicle you have and see what comes up. Safety is the most important thing when it comes to the use of vans for transportation purposes.
I had an amazing family friend that offered to teach me everything I needed to know, along with letting us use his garage and tools. Many aspects of the vehicle appearance may suffer in the term of everyday use and one should expect any combination of the following damages: stained or otherwise used upholstery, scratched bumpers, dings on the doors, chipped hood, dented quarter panels. It’s a Mercedes Sprinter 4WD van with solar panels and a lithium powered electrical system so we can spend weeks away from civilization. The Sprinter RB with Sportsmobile’s Penthouse Pop Top more than exceeded the test weight requirements. Pop the hood and take a peek at the engine. Look Under the Hood. As simple as this sounds, many times people forget to just look. Too many people search from scrap yard to scrap yard in hope of finding the second-hand Mercedes-Benz Sprinter parts they need, but this is usually time consuming and frustrating.
The company believes in teamwork, honesty, fairness, responsibility and diligence and in the truly entrepreneurial spirit of its people. It sounded like it indeed was a lot better, more power and torque, revised suspension and significantly faster acceleration. By the way, 12 years later and that truck is still running like a champ!
