Thanks for instructions and link. Ordered gas strut from link and replaced in 15 minutes. Job for two, someone should hold bed in semi opened position, but my 12 years old son hold bed easy. Old strut had absolutely zero presure. Much easier to fold bed now. By the way, ordered 320 N. Probably shoul...

Thanks! Will try gasfedershop.de option

Hello. Can't understand, how much gas spring should help fold bed. Now just I can fold bed and this job is not easy. My wife hasn't any chance to fold it. Probably gas spring not working? How much power you should use to fold bed?

Job is done. Thank you all for advises!

Hello. It could be super if you can share it. Could you upload it to https://www.transfernow.net/en please? Moin ich habe noch mal in den Aufbaurichtlinien für den Crafter 2E nachgeschaut und da spricht nichts gegen den Verbau der Reserveradhalterung bzw. es ist drin erläutert wie es auszuführen ist...

Super! Thanks!

Thank you. It looks like not a big job to do those brackets from square metal tube. Maybe you know distance from vehicle bottom to first hole? In this link you can see how spare wheel fixed to rear door and how long I should wait for a camping season :) https://photos.app.goo.gl/rLNJLAqq4BMJY7k79 I’...

Hi!
Decided to move spare wheel from rear door to it original place - under bottom. But there is no spare wheel holding frame. Even can’t find holder bracket on frame so can’t order frame and put it in place.
Had Sven Hedin spare wheel from new or only tire repair kit? Can anyone confirm that?

Nice. Danke!

I've ordered new one (OEM) and replaced it. Easy job. Also used some flexible sealant on inner part of rubber lip.
Just be sure do it before it starts to leak - new control panel is difficult to find. Thanks god, mine was fixed for a 80 eur.

Wow. Sieht Klasse aus. Bei mir hat der Hahn im Bad den Geist aufgegeben. Gibt's da vielleicht auch so einen tollen Tipp, für einen gut passenden Plug and Play Ersatz?

Mine is leaking, but still not found similar with flexible hoses. If you'll find, please leave a note here. Thanks!

Sadly they don’t have it in stock Thanks for link, Dray!

Hello. Looking to buy in EU E153 control panel without heating in working order. Part codes could be 701070532H, 62236007, 506234. Used in Sven Hedin, Nugget, Marco Polo, California T4 https://www.repturn.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/06/LOI428-E153-506-603-Panneau-de-commande-6-boutons-CALIFORNIA-T4....

Hi. Yesterday few drops fall from control panel slot. At home I've checked and found that antenna slowly leaking water from outside.
Check yours because sealing after time starts to be leaky and could damage your SH control panel

So it was worth install new strut? Always fight with bed and don't feel any help from strut
