Were those lithium batteries? The YouTube expediter said 2 lithium batteries would be all one needs to power a refrigerator for days without turning the key. And if the starting battery is isolated, it still recharges the battery bank off the alternator? Where did you run the thick cable from...

So I went to pick up in Richmond, IN. The load turns out to be a 2400lb liquid tote of something called Brittany, which they spray on dog kibble to make it appealing to dogs. They say it stinks like a mofo, so anything you get it on is really done for, for the foreseeable future, anyway. Like...

I hope you find time to address this. You seem to be the electrical system guru. The van owner said I could take out the passenger seat. There's already a heater under there that doesn't work. Hopefully that will get repaired. Once the seat, which sits on those white metal pedestals, is gone...

That's what is really like, but I don't own the van. He's pretty committed to having all of the cargo space available when the need arises, so I can't put in a bulkhead. So far, I've had 2 or 3 loads on which I had to take down my bed.

I'm thinking the problem with mine is in the ratchets. I mean, they must be moving as I drive, releasing tension. But they do it even when the WLL hasn't been reached. A couple are maybe 1.5" straps and the older ones are larger.

Does that describe the hooked end, where it attaches?

I can't see anything different about them them what I have. What's "wire hook"?

I wish I had E-track. I drive somebody else's van and it's outfitted with the semi-circular floor rings that I guess come stock with a Sprinter, plus the cut-outs in the wall panels. I've always wanted the straps with the ratchet in the middle.

So what's the deal with load straps? Every single strap I have loosens as I drive, even the new ones, even if I use multiple straps. What gives? Do these things just suck?

So I did about 3 days of my Sonic experiment in Texas, parking under their canopy to keep cool after the stupid yellow ball of fire in the sky made it unbearable. I did purchase something each time, but stayed for hours, and they never had a problem with it.

Anyone ever try sleeping in a hammock? That would REALLY be compact.

So friday, after I deliver in South texas, I get to test out my plan of action of seeing how long I can park Under The Canopy at Sonic after buying something. We'll see if they let me stay there for a while while my air conditioner cranks without being in the sun

Has anyone / does anyone park under the canopy of a Sonic to get into some shade? I order something, of course. If you do this, how long do you dare stay? Where else do you find respite from the torment of summer?

It's not my van so I can't install solar panels, only things that can be easily uninstalled.

Okay, so how about this. The battery Bank of golf cart batteries, charged off of the alternator of the van when it's running. And then the Eco wave or Eco cool whatever it's called for portable air conditioner with an extra battery for that, and they get charged as needed off of the golf cart...

He's the one that sells the road service package?

Yes, something like that.

Anybody have road service on their Sprinter? Was there an issue with it being called a commercial vehicle?
