My Sprinter stealth ClasB
Hi, I am having 19 yold Lance truck camper and when I could not sell it for reasonable price (50% of NADA) I decided to use good interior for new conversion and dispose faded body.
Pictures will be coming as I already have rear dinette and shower stall installed, but would love to hear opinions about few technical dilemmas.
So I don't want propane on board, meaning all appliances will run on electricity. With bus version I have 250 amp alternator and dual AC, so I don't anticipate any power issues while on the road, when on hot days I can run the engine for some time, I have following dilemmas:
1- did anybody tried to keep refrigerator running overnight on 2 battery power?
2-how long 150W electric element takes to heat water in standard w/h? I've been using electricity for water heating in my previous RVs, but having campground hookup, I never actually timed it.
3-I plan to use camper transfer switch where inverter would be default and once I plug shore power, the relay will switch
4- no toilet on the conversion, so I am putting porta-potty inside the shower. So far a try shows that I need to lose some weight to make it working. How guys having porta-potty in van manage its use while having other people?
5-with gray water tank only I don't want to make 3" water dump. What are the smaller options?
