Re: New SMB RB50 4x4 diesel build for sale - 7yr/200k warran

Thanks for the feedback everyone!

I am located in Colorado, outside Denver in the mountains. I am selling this direct at this point, although there are a few small punchlist items that SMB Texas will be taking care of for me on the next trip south. Feel free to call me directly if you'd like to discuss it.

Beautiful van. Would you mind telling me what kind of cooktop that is in it?

That is a very nice rig, wish I had known about it sooner as we just returned home from a trip to Ouray, would have loved to check it out.

Can you run that cook-top off the inverter?

Yes, you can run the cooktop with the inverter (also the hot water tank). I've had the van running while testing both as my concern was how much power either would use. The cooktop heats up quickly and I would be comfortable boiling water without the van running. The hot water tank took about 12 minutes to come to full temp in 70 degree weather (van running) and with an additional 10 minutes of driving the battery showed full charge when I turned the motor off. With the newer solar controls and 1 panel mounted to the top, the battery is nearly full all of the time even while parked in the driveway (without shore power).

I believe it's the single 4 AMD battery located just in front of the underfloor storage under the van.

That would be the standard thing.

I love the color scheme. Can you tell me you fabric combo? I am building a sprinter and want to make it very similar. Thanks!
