Re: Sprinter diesel tow question
Determine the weight you can pull by using the following calculation: GCWR - GVWR For these smaller RVs, you can assume you will be close to your GVWR. Do not be fooled by the hitch rating, which is 5000 pounds. That is more than the Sprinters can pull. Use the Winnebago View as an example. All of the models have a GCWR if 15250 pounds and a GWVR of 11030 pounds. The difference is 4220. Therefore, the most you can pull is 4220. Personally, I would not want to pull right at the max. My Jeep weighs 4400 pounds and therefore cannot be pulled with any of the View models. These numbers are about the same for all of the Sprinter chassis models I have seen.792Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cargo trailers to tow behind an RV
You have a hitch rated for 5000 pounds but I have not seen a Sprinter that should be pulling 5000 pounds. To calculate how much you can pull: GCWR - GVWR = how much you should pull You will probably be close to your GVWR with the Sprinters.598Views0likes0CommentsRe: Plugged in or out
I connect my batteries to a Battery Minder when I am not using it. The one I have can maintain up to 8 batteries at one time. It has an automatic desulfator. It has settings for different kinds pf batteries. It has an ambient temp sensor to adjust the voltage based on temperature. I think it is a great way to extend the life of your batteries.799Views0likes0Comments
