Hi,
I have a 2019 Sprinter cargo 170 with the auxiliary battery under the hood. It’s still a pretty bare van at this point. I just ordered two MaxxAir fans and the electrical cable harness from Adventure Wagon.
A few questions I have before I start putting up walls.
- The Adwag kit installs under the drivers seat. Is this the best place to put the fuse blocks? I get that MB does it but I can access the MB fuses from the side. The Adwag appears it would require me to remove the seat
- Has anyone used the Blue Sea weatherdeck fuse panel and attached it to the back of the drivers seat or the nearby wall? It seems this would be easier to access the fuses, as well as turn off items I don’t want on.
- Battery questions - Adwag sells a kit to convert from a 12v battery to dual 6v pre-2019 vans. they don’t sell one for 2019. However RB Components does. I’ve been thinking of purchasing a Goal Zero to increase my battery capacity. It appears I can purchase two 6v batteries plus the RB tray for $500. This would give roughly 220AH vs the current Aux battery. It also seems to be considerably cheaper than a Goal Zero. Am I missing something here? Is this the best route to go for now or is the GZ still a great option? Regarding electrical usage - my use of the van is RUV - hauling lumber / house supplies on weekends. Soccer games. Ski lessons on the weekends. One night camping trips with the kids. Most of my usage will be the fans, Espar heater, Dometic cooler, and charging devices.
Thanks!
Ryan
