How to Improve the Acceleration of Your Camper Van

[@paintrain2438]

Hey @Van Land --- Now after having the pedal commander for a bit, are you still happy with it? Would you recommend it? Note -- I have a 2019 Sprinter w/ v6 diesel, so curious to your thoughts. Thank for making the vid, super helpful!

I found the comment about the continued presence of the turbo lag interesting. This is a common complaint on the 3 liter V6 diesel. Interestingly, I have a pedal commander on a gas turbo V12 and it's scary how responsive the throttle is with the PC in City Mode.

That is a substantial difference! Thanks for sharing!

My 2023 AWD Sprinter with the high output 4 doesn't suffer the lag experience in my 2016 and 2022.

Very intriguing. I’ve considered this device for my 4x4 170. But my hesitation is related to unknowns on increased wear and tear on both my engine and transmission. My van is built out and near the max GVW

I am interested in what effect it will have on your fuel mileage. I have seen similar devices that did not have the mountable module that only can be adjusted via app. I am curious as to why you chose the Pedal Commander over other similar devices.

I'm a little confused. I just got one yesterday and installed it with no issues. I have a 2021 sprinter. The only thing I wanted to fix was the acceleration off the line. Nothing else. It's that 2-3 second lag after you press the gas pedal and start to feel any acceleration - that's what's driving me nuts. So, after I installed it there didn't feel like there was any difference in that immediate acceleration. Once I get moving I actually can tell that the throttle is more responsive but I get nothing off the line. Can anyone share any advice?

Is there any warranty with this unit? I’m curious that if I purchased it and wasn’t satisfied, would I be stuck with it or would I be able to return the product? But from looking at the results from your van, I’m quite sure that I’d be satisfied with it. Thank you
