I have been reading many threads, YouTube, Google, etc. and I just do not feel like I have a really definitive answer for the Sprinter Aux. Alternator. I am not trying to reinvent the wheel here! It just looks like after thousands of van conversions there would be one, and really one GREAT Alternator system you could buy and and not have to wonder if this is the right one??? You start reading this stuff and and you see really big alternators, but then is the engine housing large enough to handle the load for it? Do I want a three belt or a two belt system? It looks like Mercedes would have one of there own since they have the N62 bracket, but I don't see anyone mentioning it. ARV has a nice system, but then you have to throw out your $455 N62 bracket to use it. So far, Nations 280XP, 12 volts, lithium and the WS500 Wakespeed Advanced Regulator with two belts seems to be the way to go? They have a three belt system, but with the extra cost and then the ease of changing the possible broken two belt system, is it worth it? Nations also has the alternator decoupler pulley which is the same as the dynamic turque converter pulley at ARV.
Just wondering if anyone could help me out here? My battery bank is 400Ah and I will not be trying to power an A/C.
