They just created this document and sent it out. PS: PLEASE play close attention to their section on the Diesel Particulate Filter, starting on page 8. They seem to be very adamant about this.

The storage facility we use lost one of our two keys for our 2017 Dynamax. (on a 2016 chasis) The storage facility will pay for a replacement. However, Mercedes will not sell me a key unless i don't have any keys. THis is due to a shortage, I assume. And to insure that I don't have...

Getting ready to purchase an Isata 3 with the Xantrax battery system. Now heard that Volta will be used on the forester and solera mercedes class c's. I'm wondering why the switch to Volta? Xantrax manufacturing capacity problems? Newly discovered problems with Xantrax? Volta starting to...

OK, I searched this forum, the web, called Mercedes, Les Schwab, etc, and I’m still totally confused about the torque setting for the lug nuts. It “appears” to me, that aluminum wheels for the sprinter would be 133 lbs, but for our 16” steel wheels, it would be 177 lbs…? But we’ve had one...

What are your thoughts on getting a spare tire. I would be nervous without one. The tire is not that heavy so maybe mount it to the back outside wall?,

The rickety Mercedes hood prop on my 2016 Galleria popped off today! It is not a very good system but the only one there is. Any ideas on reattaching it? It appears to pop welded to the hood. Thanks for any help

2022 Isata 3 After sitting for four days the chassis battery is completely flat. Nothing on that I can see. Jacks are up. Ideas? Return to dealer? Still under warranty.

The Drivers and Passenger side insulated window covers, that came with the 2021 Forester River Forester MBS 2401 (with 2020 Sprinter as base), don't stay up. It seems the exposed metal for attaching the magnets was greatly reduced for 2019 and on. Does anyone have suggestions for ones that...

Curious to know is one of these diesels more costly and/or time consuming to operate, service, durability, etc. Initial cost not being an issue. Are there any other obvious benefits, technically, mechanically, or just from a comfort/enjoyment perspective, between the two. Talking just about...

I seem to get questions about this from time to time. I think this is available from MB, but figured I would post it.

It's been 3 months that I've upgrade my halogen headlight bulbs. I've posted the installation video and review here. They were really easy to install and I'm very happy with the performance upgrade. I haul a travel trailer with my 2018 Mercedes Metris Van and the headlight upgrade makes a huge...

My 2017 MBS Forester doesn't start. The horn blows once when I turn the key, and nothing happens. Battery is fine, alarm has been disarmed with key fob. All dash lights come on. Cold here (45 degrees), so I waited for glow light to shut off.

Interesting thread from Solera section: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f191/blutec-cheater-software-recall-217288.html

While researching prior to my lithium conversion, I found several references to a 40 amp max limit from the Mercedes Upfitters Guide in the Sprinter Forum. E.g.: “So recently saw in the mercedes upfitters guide something that appears to mention that 40 amps is the maximum charging current...
