Re: Local or Internet to buy batteries from?

No experience with them, but maybe give them a call.
If they don't sell retail, they'll tell you someone that does.

Re: My SMB Sprinter Van conversion building experience

Fabric repair behind window looks excellent, really adds to the value of your 100k van.
