Re: Inflatable kayaks/canoes?

Re: What's this?
Looks like big capacitors, did it have a BIG BASS sound system at one point? A lot of those guys install ultra-capacitors to provide high-current transients to their earthquake boxes.

Well, aside from that, I doubt you are going to find any low mileage SMB in excellent condition for under $40K.

Re: 5 minutes left!
Don't know how long non-binding bids in Motors have been the case, but it's been a while. If you check the bid list on that van, the "winning" bidder has over 100 feedback, so it's a bit unlikely it...

Re: SMB Sightings
We just saw another Hymer last week on our way back from 3 weeks in Oregon, this one was on a Mercedes chassis at a little campground near Cloverdale, CA. German couple in that one, also.

The biggest motivator to get the second alternator mount on a Sprinter is that the stock alternator is controlled by the car computer over the CANBUS, which means you play heck trying to install an...

Re: Sprinter 4 cyl Alternator recomendation
Doesn't take any more power to spin a larger alternator unless you are drawing more current from it. In which case, that's why you wanted the bigger one. Amp for amp, they are going to draw...
