Inspired By The SLS AMG Supercar

I have the high idle fixed package with Autogen (automatic engine start.) The new Roadtrek EcoTrek was announced this past week and I believe they call their auto start Voltrek. Now that I have the RVCair App that mirrors the Silverleaf monitor on my iPhone set up on the dash I hope to monitor it better to see what is going on such does the alternator deliver more amps when the batteries are lower or if temperature makes a significant difference. The charge rate on my Silverleaf screen hovered around 160 amps input. I do know I can get simultaneous input from shore power, engine alternator and solar panels to achieve 300 amps parked. I have a 270A Nations second alternator I believe designed for Sprinter application and further custom designed for Advanced RV. I don't plan to have my RV for 90,000 miles. Then they dropped a bomb (it seemed to me.) They said the idling issue maintenance wise would not show up until after 90,000 miles if in fact it did.


The engine idling issue is a big variable because if there is nothing written about, it could mean maybe a non-issue. The front part of the roof and the C-pillar are produced in magnesium/plastic, plus there are additional optimisation measures regarding the design of the tubular frame, rear shelf, rear window frame and roof frame. Here is your problem in part Dodge not MB if you understand my reasoning. Read more about these options here. The Sprinter interior offers up to 530 cubic feet of cargo storage, making it more accommodating than the ProMaster, not to mention most competitors in its segment! The mid-size premium sedan segment has always been a top attraction on WCF, and the all-new sixth generation BMW 5-Series is no different. Chrysler has a marriage with MB sedan drive trains on sedans! Mercedes Benz says after a period of time 2-3 hours via various reports to drive on the road for 35-40 minutes.


Advanced RV governs their autostart to run for 1 hour and 45 minutes. Bottom line for me is with a totally electric B with no propane I can use almost all the electricity I could possibly use in a normal situation from my batteries in a days time I desire (except air conditioning) and recharge my batteries back to 100% in under an hour most times. Roof-mounted air conditioning comes in two levels of output (regular or high performance), and several USB-C ports are present to keep you and all your passengers connected and charged. The CLA 45 AMG comes with a seven-speed twin-clutch gearbox. And they do sell two idle packages. The next year saw two additional models join the line. After watching the trailer, we find ourselves left with two questions. The high idle fixed package came from Mercedes Benz as an option with an MSRP of $602.


So, does 700 RPMs at normal idle vs 1100 RPMs at high idle make a significant difference for the engine idling issue other than faster charging and higher amps? RPMs were around 1100. The charging hovered around 200 amps input. The actual input could be higher as there is always anywhere from about 8 to 14 amps being drawn out with the refrigerator, inverter and numerous other things always on or on standby. Could I throw away my 30A shore power cord like Hammill threw out? It's exhausting to imagine needing any additional power than it provides, however nevertheless, the S-Class still offers the V12-powered S600 and therefore the AMG-tuned S63 and S65. Still 400 rpms difference. The difference of 40 amps to me is not significant but I will take it if higher RPMs are good. It would be understandable for you to assume that your car followed standard 3 year depreciation, but unfortunately you now also have to take into account rebates on new cars and tack on that amount to the normal depreciation.
