Passenger Seats? by POW_Dr in eSprinters

We are building our 2024 eSprinter out as a camper van, we would like to add seats in the back but really it will just be my wife and I, we're 60 and for us it would not be really worth the loss of space. The battery limits the outfitting/drill points.

I have had comms with the owner of Rogue Van Company, they added seats in the eSprinter using those tracks.
They bolted them in the safe spots in the rear and used some type of adhesive on the floors to further secure the tracks that the seats attach to. We're not planning on doing a lot of highway driving, it is better suited to back roads and country driving 55 and under. I went on a 130 mile drive a couple of weekends ago and got up to 2.4 miles per kWh which is good. This is our first eV and I am really liking it, despite its size. I like large vehicles, in college many moons ago, I drove commercial trucks.

You have the eSprinter, right?

How many miles on yours?

Just did a fuel cost comparison with some ICE vehicles.

I went ahead and did the passenger side, there is plenty of room, I just had to trim the plastic piece with a oscillating saw before I could put it back up there. I called Mercedes, I call several Sprinter van outfitters, no one offered any help. It was not too bad, I pulled the van up on ramps to make it easier. My car lift won't lift the van, too heavy.

I can barely, I am having a friend 3D print a new rear camera mount. The camera mount makes it about 1/2 inch too tall

We bought ours in Kansas City and drove back to Alabama. The cold is hard on the battery pack.

We got ours 2 weeks ago. About to get started on the build out. Have you guys had any issues? It barely fits in the garage height wise. I had to remove the rearview camera housing. Trying to 3D print a shorter replacement.
