    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Sprinter battery bank

    Thanks Turtle, nuff said :) that explains everything I need, in one place; I have a manual switch for bank, this time I might include a fuse or 2 :D Nice setup you have btw, you've got some serious time and effort in. 90 amp alternator was just ridiculous on their part IMO, especially for what...

    I drive a van, therefore my miles are based on shortest route, not truck routes...I've heard too many stories about "But my GPS said..." think I'll simply have to pay attention...unfortunately not tuning out leads to thoughts on how much the load is paying and am I making money and is this worth...

    Heating / Cooling Need an A/C

    IMPORTANT: NOT USING AN INVERTER GENERATOR CAUSES NASTY NOISES FROM YOUR A/C AND MAY CAUSE DAMAGE. If off brand generators will be mentioned, this needs to be said. (Do we need to add put it outside the van while running? :D) The WEN looks interesting at 459, wonder if it will last more than 3...

    2005 Sprinter second and reverse only

    Thanks - I was skeptical until I saw the price...its not worth the time/learning curve/special tools bought to save on the labor portion of 2200...that's cheap!

    Heating / Cooling Need an A/C

    I've tested Turtle's solution summers over pavement in Ohio, and think it's better...quieter, cheap, and no fumes. Side mounted fan blowing across my body paired with 2 walmart deep cycles, charged with a simple red key cutoff switch to the front battery. Never drained the batteries, lasted at...
