If you’re reading this and you’re not a Revel owner, we must say that upgrading your stock suspension is an absolute must for all Sprinters, and this package is ideal for 2WD/4WD/AWD.

14. Water System Upgrade (Peace Vans)
We highly recommend allowing our skilled team to upgrade your van's water system. This process consists of replacing all the plastic PEX fittings with brass fittings.

The Revel plumbing system is notorious for leaks and problems, and we strongly suggest proactively fixing this to protect your long-term investment in your van.
15. Awning Upgrade with Stock Roof Rack (Peace Vans)
Many Revel owners prefer to substitute their Carefree awning with a manual Fiamma Awning, but this is usually impossible without replacing the stock roof rack that comes on your Revel.
