    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    Up until this year I was guaranteed 2500 a week. Now I've had a lot of time off between vans and family medical issues but it looks like I have to revisit my business plan...

    I can tell you why rates are so low. Its not fuel.

    On that note (bull crap) I've just calculated my gross income from Jan 1 to now this year. Works out to 1126 a month gross. Before insurance and repairs ( after fuel ). Hmmm Maybe someone should post that in the newbie section

    Sprinter battery bank

    This idea works better with the hybrid deep cycles I bought, specifically because I have no deep cycle battery management. Standard walmart marine starter / deep cycle hybrids, less than $100 each...charging needs are close enough to use the vehicle alternator, no overcharging or starting...

    Sprinter battery bank

    I can handle the pros . . . simple, cheap, and I can choose when to place the load on batteries or alternator, eg. I disconnect the alternator when printing, I don't want that sudden 50 amp load on my alternator and reconnect to charge. . . also, in winter, I can leave all batteries connected...

    05 Sprinter - Cab Sleeper?

    Going ahead with board and foam across the front seats. Measures 5'11 across window sills, happens to be just enough for me to stretch out.

    Pre 2007 sprinter foglights

    Mine definitely aim the low beams up and down. If I can verify what I think is the blank for foglights I'll break out the hole saw...or break out the wallet for euro ones but turtle, I've tried the headlight bulbs you use and they last me about 200 hours, I'm looking for angle and long life
