    Powering roof fan and electric cooler?

    I'm looking to power a roof fan and electric cooler. This isn't an RV conversion, just a toy hauler for day trips so I'm not looking to install a house battery. I do have the aux battery under the passenger seat so I presume that should be the power source? Should I run a line directly from...

    Powering the head unit with house batteries for music

    I want to use the head unit for media control when parked, as I just installed a pretty nice sound system in the back, but I think the head unit turns off after 20 mins, so could you possibly power it with the house batteries, or is there another solution? it is a 2019+ or 907 in Europe I saw...

    2013 Sprinter RPM surge/power loss after Hwy driving?

    I have a 2013 Sprinter 170 Passenger van. It has recently developed an issue I’m having difficulty diagnosing. Start-up and driving around town is fine. When I'm doing highway speeds, there is no issue and fuel economy is “good”. Acceleration is fine. The issue seems to occur only after...

    Mystery plug

    I have been trying to figure out what type of plug this is. I think it is a 220 but the plugs are different than most cables, the e-trek cable would fit it but I think that is a no-no. I just want to plug the e-trek into this receptacle for storage use so no big power draw. I would be fine with...

    OM611 to OM612 swap anyone done it?

    So I believe the engine has died in my camper, it has the 2.1 which has been underwhelming. The turbo hasn't played ball since I've drove it the last 18 months and did 20k+ miles. It might just be the turbo but definite burning of oil and what sounded like a flywheel catching on the gearbox...

    Inverter/Charger vs Inverter+Charger+ATS

    Inverter/Charger looks neat, but I can't justify the cost (~$1200) for a 3000W one. On the other hand, a reasonable 3000W inverter + charger + Automatic Transfer Switch (ATS) costs around $500-$600. I understand the ease of installation and fewer wires to have a inverter/charger, but the price...

    Intermittent Power Loss

    2006 NAFTA 2500 - Prior FedEx On random intervals between ~100 and ~9,000 miles, my Sprinter will stop "pushing" forward while my foot is on the pedal. The engine continues to run fine. Everything goes back to normal after about a second of the wheels not having power. No restart necessary...

    Noticeable drag at low speed

    Hi, I recently bought a 2008 Dodge Sprinter 2500 at 180,000 KM (111,000 miles). When coasting at slow speed or accelerating from a standstill, there is some noticeable drag (like the brake is on). Having only driven an U-Haul Ford E-series before, I thought this is normal, being a heavy...

    2002 Freightliner Sprinter loss of power

    Hi guys I have an 02 sprinter that all of a sudden would not build boost. I can manually depress the turbo actuator and it will build boost then, so I know its not the turbo. I can also suck on the vacuum hose and make the actuator go down so I know its not the actuator. I replaced the vacuum...

    Simple solar for full-time living

    Hey everyone. I've been lurking around here for long enough and trying to do research in my conversion, but I think that an actual conversation with experienced Sprinter folks is the next step. There are just so many options, it's hard to know whether I'm going down the right path. I want to get...

    Flexible Solar panels

    http://cdn.highwire.com/2624505.jpg I'm really interested in these flexible panels. I'm thinking these can be adhered directly to the roof with vhb tape. They are light (3.5kg) and would definitely be stealth. Does anyone have any experience with these flexible panels? Maybe we could...
