For what it’s worth, the small “ starter box” gadget works very well on my Chevy E350 EB! I’ve had the same problem starting up, even with a trickle charger
setup.

Dallas Fort Worth TSA didn't like my "tactical pen", even though it had flown with me through many, many major and minor airports. Thankfully I had enough time to mail it home. It's a really nice pen milled out of solid copper. No sharp points, no skull-crusher, no sharp edges. I know its a thankless job, but it all depends on which TSA agent you get and what mood they're in.

Everyone!
Just wondering if any of you with the E350 extended
body vehicles...also have the “ rounded” high top? I
would really like to add solar to my rig, but don’t want to have the level rack topping all of those rounded levels! Seems to me that it would make a really “ great” Windcatcher while driving! It just seems as if there MUST be a better way to attach solar panels! So far, have not come up with anything I’d be happy with, so was hoping you all might have a few “other”
ideas on dealing with that kind of top? At least I dearly hope so.....
Thanks in advance,
ConnieKat

My stock starter battery failed the other day and I had a chance to test the button that allows you to start the vehicle using the house battery. It worked perfectly for me.
I do carry a NoCo GB70 in addition jumper cables. Amazon puts these sale at least once per year. I got mine for $123. Before that I carried an anti-gravity jump pack but mine was bit light for the V10.

Antigravity XP-1 or XP-10 will start your V10. I know because I use the XP-1 for my V10.
I am a re-seller of these. Shoot me a PM and I am happy to relay a discount for Sportmobile members. Guess I should formalize this in the vendor forum.

Carry a set of jumper cables to help other campers. My battery isolator is very easy to get at underhood. Just need to move one wire and house and starting batteries are wired together and van starts. 5 minute job but always works.
