I am trying to find a company, preferably with a good long track record, to do my interior conversion on 144 Sprinter 4x4. I think building it myself would be a fun project, but when it comes to electrical systems - solar/battery/inverter, I would be more comfortable having experienced people doing the build. I have been looking at the well known players ADF, Sportsmobile, OSV, and Advanced RV and was interested in any first hand experience people have had with them recently. Another possibillity is having an electrician take care of the design, eletrical systems and wiring and build the rest. I still think an experienced builder is going to hopefully know how to build out a sound and robust structure that can handle the stress these vehicles will go through over time.
I am taken aback by how much some of these companies are charging. Some are more reasonable than others, but it does stop you in your tracks when prices approach and exceed the price of a new Airstream trailer for example. There seem to be a number of smaller outfits but without knowing much about them I worry about support and level of experience in designing, choosing compatible materials and equipment, and just plain building it right.
