Maximize Space with a 3D-Printed Shampoo Bottle Holder for Your RT Agile Bathroom

In this post, I’ll show you how to use that space efficiently by creating your very own custom holder with a 3D printer.

If you’ve got a Sprinter Roadtrek van, you know how great it is for road trips and adventures. But let’s be real: that metal swivel seat release lever can be a real pain—literally! Those sharp edges are notorious for catching shins and causing some pretty nasty bruises. Luckily, there’s an easy fix: a custom 3D printed bumper cover. Let’s dive into why this simple addition can make a world of difference!

The Dreaded Swivel Seat Release Lever

We’ve all been there. You’re hopping in or out of your van, and BAM! That metal lever gets you right on the shin. Ouch!

The last thing you want is for someone to get hurt just trying to get comfy in the van.

Transitioning to LiFePO4 Batteries in my Campervan/ Class B RV: A Major Upgrade

After many years of reliable service, my AGM batteries have finally reached the end of their life. While they still work, their capacity has drastically decreased. So, I decided it was time for an upgrade and made the big leap to LiFePO4 (lithium iron phosphate) batteries. This was no small decision, as switching to lithium required significant rewiring of my RV. Lithium batteries can't withstand the extreme heat under the hood where the AGMs were located.

The biggest challenge was finding space for the new batteries, as there was technically no available room in the RV. I considered installing them in the generator’s spot but chose to keep the LP generator for emergency power, as I value redundancy. In the end, I opted to install the lithium batteries inside the RV to protect them from the elements and extreme temperatures.
