	Water Softener https://www.amazon.com/dp/B079N2L7L6 Whole house water softener. Place this on the water feed just after the whole-house water filter (above). This unit completely removes hard water.

SEWER		[back to top]
	Sewer Dump Hose https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00C5RBRA8 The RhinoFLEX hose has been the best one I've found. This one has two 10 foot lengths, so you only use what you need. It also comes with ends and the 90 degree elbow for the dump hole.
	Sewer Dump Hose Support https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B0006IX7Y2 This supports the sewer hose and provides a good down grade. It also folds up small for easy storage.
	Sewer Valve Cap https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0006MRR2Q This is a good replacement cap for the blank tank. It has a drain plug and easy to use handle.
	Macerator Pump https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B001HKZHIW Have you ever gotten home and realized you forgot to dump your tanks? Well, this along with a good garden hose allows you to dump into your sewer cleanout.
	Extension and Cigarette Lighter Cord for Macerator Pump https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07JF54N8J This extension cord connects to the Macerator Pump above and then to the 25amp cigarette lighter outlet in the cab. Make sure you connect it to the 25amp. You will blow a fuse if connected to the "normal" cigarette ligher outlet.
	Clear Sewer Extension https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B016V2JMBS Putting this between your dump valve and the Macerator Pump allows you to know when it is done and provides a visible indication as you are cleaning the pump out after dumping.
	3/4 inch 50 ft Heavy Duty Hose https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08BZPWWV1 This hose is for use with the Macerator Pump above. It is important to use a 3/4" diameter hose and should not go over 50-75 feet. Also, do not use this for ANYTHING ELSE - there is no amount of cleaning that would be good enough!
	Mini-Vent Air Admittance Valve https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B00FQEX4UI The RV has two of these located under the kitchen and lavitory sinks. They allow air to go into the tanks, but not the reverse. This is necessary to allow the roof vents to work properly. You will know when they go bad - sewer odors coming from under the sink. I try and replace these at least every 5 years.
	HepvO Waterless Waste Valve https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00NLMPLDU The RV uses these 1-1/2" waterless p-traps for the shower drain. Many times, they get damaged when removing hair, etc.
SUSPENSION		[back to top]
	Hellwig Rear Sway Bar https://www.amazon.com/dp/B003LFDSHS When Winnabego added the camper body on the chassis, they did not upgrade the suspension to match. So, this will replace the smaller MB swaybar that came stock. How a sway bar works NOTE: if you have a 2019 Sprinter model year or newer, you will need this model instead: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07YNPHR5W
	Bilstein Rear Shock Absorbers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FU6MYO These are B6 shock absorbers and improve handling, ride quality, and comfort.
	Bilstein Front Shock Absorbers https://www.amazon.com/dp/B009FU500G These are B4 front shock absorbers and improve handling, ride quality, and comfort. These are specifically for campers on the MB Sprinter 3500.
	Front Camber Adjuster Bolt Kit https://www.amazon.com/dp/B000C9L1KW These are used for the front shocks to allow camber adjustments (proper alignment) - you will need qty 2. It is a good idea to replace them when you replace your front shock absorbers.
	Front SumoSprings https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00ER5OA9G These are the 1000 lb. capacity at 50% compression. There are softer ones available as well. These replace the front "bump-stops". If you are replacing shocks, do that first before you decide if you want these. These will make the ride a bit tighter.
	Rear SumoSprings https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0152VDS9G These are the 900 lb. capacity at 50% compression. There are softer ones available as well. These replace the rear "bump-stops". If you are replacing rear shocks and sway-bar, do that first before you decide if you want these. These will make the ride a bit tighter, but will further stabilize sway.
ELECTRICAL/SOLAR		[back to top]
	Victron Multiplus 3k https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01AD2MJSK Victron Energy Multiplus 3000VA 12-volt pure sine wave inverter and 120amp batter charger. This is the component that deals with the batteries and 12-volt/120-volt power. It is capable of handling the power load for the entire RV. It has a huge number of very cool features. For instance, being able to "Power Assist" a restricted shore power - this allows you to run components that require more amperage than is available on the shore power lead and it will automatically add to that using battery power. An example would be you're plugged into a 10amp normal house hold outlet when "mooch-docking" at a friends house and want to run your A/C.
	Victron 200amp Multi Control Panel GX https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07DBQYRJ6 Victron Energy Multiplus Control Panel allows you to see and adjust the Multiplus from inside the RV. It also allows you to set the shore-power limit so you don't trip any breakers when "driveway surfing" at a friends house.
	Victron Smart Battery Monitor BMV-712 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B075RTSTKS Victron Energy Smart Battery Monitor keeps track of your battery's usage and informs the Multiplus to adjust accordingly. It is a required piece of the puzzle!

	REC Solar REC400AA-PURE Alpha Series https://www.solar-electric.com/rec-solar-rec400aa-pure-alpha-series-400-watt-module.html These panels are 400 watts each. They are operating flaulessly; great in shade, etc. I installed two of these on the RV.
	Surge Guard 30amp Transfer Switch https://www.amazon.com/dp/B073PD854Q The automatic transfer switch allows your RV to automatically switch from shore power to generator and back when needed. No more going outside to the power bay to plug in the generator cable, etc.

	50amp Dogbone https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BUTDCA This "dogbone" will allow your 30amp RV shore-cord to plug into a 50amp RV pole. Make sure you have the EPO/Surge Protector (above) on before plugging in just in case the park's 50amp pole is not wired properly.
	15amp Dogbone https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B000BUU5YA This "dogbone" will allow your 30amp RV shore-cord to plug into a 15amp household outlet. If you have the above Victron setup, make sure to adjust your available shore amps down to around 10amps so you don't break your friends' breaker.
TIRE/WHEELS		[back to top]
	TPMS https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B082QJJ6G5 The TireMinder TPMS system comes with 10 transmitters and a range extender. Covers your RV tires (6) and Toad's (4). This has saved me many times.
	Borg Dually Valve Stems https://www.shinyrv.com/product/dually-valve-stem-for-mercedes-sprinter-chassis-with-non-alcoa-stylized-chrome-dl2spnas-free-shipping For some reason, Mercedes Benz decided to not put accessible valve stems on the inner-rear dualies. These are the best to allow for the TPMS monitor and allow easy fill-up. CAUTION: make sure you order the proper ones. This link is for "inside steal/outside styalized chrome"
	Compressor https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08637KCWQ This compressor comes in a nice little carring case and fits perfectly in the bay along with tire-chains, etc. It has plenty of power to quickly top off or completely fill up the RV tires.

	Stair Motor Gears https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0031H0H5M If your entry stairs are struggling to extend and/or retract, these are more than likely the problem if you can hear the motor running and the stairs either won't move or are only going in or out partially.
	Stair Motor https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09DKNNVSD If your stairs won't move, you cannot hear the motor running, and you've double checked that 12 volts is going to the motor plut, you probably need a new motor. It is very easy to replace: just 3 screws.
	Stair Anti Slip Tape https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09687KPFZ It is a good idea to replace this every few years. This tape is highly visible and provides good anti-slip traction.

	Self-Leveling Lap Sealant https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00G6KGPFM Creates a seal for the roof - replacing existing (old) Lap when replacing vent fans, etc.

SUPPLIES		[back to top]
	Diatomaceous Earth https://www.amazon.com/dp/B082LRSCV8 Got ants? Diatomaceous Earth! This is the only thing I've found to work (and we tried everything)!

	VHB Tape https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B08RRWLBF5 Heavy duty double sided waterproof "bonding tape". Excellent for mounting solor panel brackets on roof without screws! This is perminent tape and very hard to get off.
