No. There is only one battery under the hood right now. Trying to gather info on how to add the second one....for inside. Vans still in NY, not even brought it home yet. Had this done over at Espar on the Terra. All of this is known. Sounds like what your saying is....the Sprinter I ran...

To all you experienced people out there.... Potential GMC 2500 with 135 floor length. Figuring around the 2500 mark for load cap. IF current company has no 3 skid requirement (checking on that today) would you consider making a permanent living quarters and dropping the weight to...

Will need to get second battery inside the van. Sprinter I used to run had the 2nd battery under drivers seat.....with the two cables running out to inverter. I'm basically running a laptop and couple little gadgets off inverters. No fridge, no lights, etc etc. May add a vent later? Assuming...

Yup. Drove both, and wouldn't mind ST solo. More freight and comfort, but there's a trade off I favored for vanning.......freedom. You can make a van pretty dern comfortable, not log, and run it just about anywhere you would a car. Sit a lot, yes. Run a lot, at times. Freedom vs money? I'll...

Hope everyone trades their CV for one.....would give me a piece of the freight action. :D

Ya, I don't know who to laugh at more....the wild conspiracy bunch, or those people who don't believe groups of people get together behind closed doors and work deals all the time. That conspiracy label just gives one an excuse.... to not investigate all angles and a comfort zone of denial...

Great post Murray. The Hyundai was looked at and is a very nice generator. The problem for me was weight, and footprint. Reason I'll look at the Yamaha this time, is the small footprint, and compact size. Honeywell was super, but your looking at every 4 hours (running 8000 BTU air) for running...

And there you have it. Model A Ford from early 1900 got around 20MPG. 100 years later....still 20MPG considering PU trucks, vans, and a decent HP car. But a simple laptop will now compute huge amounts of data, vs the original mainframe computer. What's holding most of the new technology...

But Cherri......the dangerous aspect and dirty conditions is not why they shut things down. They don't care about those things, just like you stated. Poured Grey Iron, Steel, and Ductile Iron for 23 years....and not one shareholder or upper level management person in those two foundries gave one...

Thanks scottm. I see an office in Toledo as well. Bookmarked for Monday inquiry. That would be great for the trip back home as I go right by both places. Will need to grab it and install before heading over to orientation. Thinking of running one down the center of floor. Waste of funds...

Okay you Yahoo's.......where's the best place to buy E-Trac? Looking at prices now. This start up is going to be a bit more costly than fishing, or golf. Will consider placing a few bars along the wall for anchors points, prior to outfitting interior. TerraMax had the L track running full length...

Goodness man......Napoleon didn't have that much trouble with Wellington. Don't be loading any grapeshot into that contraption. Whew.....

I'm a constant mirror checker. Having said, I'll miss the BU camera. Didn't think I'd use it much, and it's little good for night time, but it gives enough comfort to warrant consideration prior to insulating.

She still looks nice! Brings up a point.....my van will have no windows, back or side. Benefit, or no? OK, let's protect ourselves here Maverick.....it does have the windshield and cab glass. :p

Really? I've seen a lot of azz that look like vans though....

This Spring will bring on the insulation and panels. Again, want that done right but I've got to get out there and run some miles. We'll have to tough it out for now. Espar will be in line....before next Winter. Will have to consider blown in....but I like DIY as well. Spouse will have the...
