    How many golf cart batteries would I need?

    So much for that.

    Off grid washing machine

    That's a good idea. I was hoping someone had experience with one.

    Off grid washing machine

    Would a single van battery power a 3000W inverter?

    Off grid washing machine

    I've seen those. They look very good, but power is a problem.

    Off grid washing machine

    I thought I was going to do that, but I barely get enough sleep on the road as it is.

    Off grid washing machine

    Just got back from about 3 weeks on the road. Now I've got a buttload of laundry to do. Has anyone carried an off-grid washer with them, perhaps one of those plungers style ones, and done their laundry on the road that way? It would be great to carry perhaps one week worth of clothes and do...

    No generators

    Yes, I'm putting a blackout curtain immediately behind the seats to isolate the driver's compartment so the AC there will be more effective, and another immediately behind the east-west bed to isolate the AC and heat there.

    Bed material

    Ok, I hate my bed and it has to change. I had a 3 skid load and had to take it down, then nap in the driver's seat. It's a twin mattress laying on an army/camping cot, laying front to back because it's too long to turn side to side. I despise that set up. I'm having trouble finding a smaller...

    Nope, those aren't swamp coolers. You don't add ice or water to these. Been watching YouTube videos on them the last couple days.

    There are a couple that advertise that they can run off of an attached battery. One is called the Eco wave, forget what the other one is called. They don't cool a large area, so I'd for sure partition off the area immediately behind the seats and sleep there.

    My understanding is the Eco Flow also produces heat for the winter, so I'd probably go with that, and at least one extra battery. Since I'd have to charge off the van battery, I guess the power station would be unnecessary.

    I've been looking at the eco cool. How much did the AC and power station run you?

    Getting a mattress

    Anybody know where a mattress for a Sprinter can be obtained, picked up without ordering/waiting? Would need one the right size to sleep crossways just behind the seats. Will be home this weekend and want to get my bed set up. I'd get an air mattress but my side door doesn't open at all and I'd...

    Sitting in Florida. Hotter than snot. Humid. I've asked my dispatchers for a load north of the Arctic circle. Until that comes through, I'm observing all the other Sprinters in the lot. The sun is beating down on all of us. My AC is barely noticeably cooler than the outside air. None of the...

    Tracking software

    I'm aware of various apps that take pictures of receipts and classify and save them, if that's what you're suggesting. I'm looking for an app that saves that stuff, along with whatever entries you make, and saves everything on a calendar day, and does all the math, like mixing Evernote, a...

    Mounting a tablet in a sprinter

    I have a large tablet, a Galaxy tab S7+. I imagine in a year or so, I'll upgrade to a newer model of essentially the same thing. It's large and comparatively heavy. I'll use it for navigation and audio while running. The Sprinter really offers few options for mounting devices. I want to keep it...

    Tracking software

    Is there some convenient app to use to track all our activity? Not really a spreadsheet. You'd put in your loads, the miles, etc. You fuel up, it records the time and place, you snap a picture of the receipt and it stores it. It stores a screen shot of the Google map of the run. You deliver and...

    Sprinter Headlight socket

    The driver's side headlight on my 2015 Sprinter has gone out twice in a month. The first time, I pulled the bulb, matched it with a new one, slipped the new one in, and voila, let there be light. Last night, same thing. So I got a new bulb, changed it, and the earth is without form and void...
