AuraGen & Under hood power

Hello!

I am very interested in trying to get the AuraGen http://www.aurasystems.com/pages/AuraGen/AuraGenHome.htm generator working in our 2006 Sprinter. And I found them from reading posts in here, but in talking with the company they said it was difficult to impossible to install one of these into a Sprinter engine.

Has anyone here actually installed one or were all the posts I saw on here about it just interest and never got any further towards a real install?

Does anyone have any other suggestions for power generation and battery bank system for under hood? Ideally we're looking for the 5kw - 8kw range but could do with a bit less probably.

Right now we're just using the aux battery and 1800 watt Xantrex but we're at the limit of what that system can provide.

Thanks!

If you already have a Xantrex, why not just get the larger 3kw version. The one in our van works very well.:thumbup:

I own a 2006 2500 with a Mobile Power unit that I bought used (vehicle with Mobile Power unit). It's a 7Kw unit, works well, with the exception of a weird idle issue on startup, and a bit of additional noise. My assumption is that the Sprinter computer is 'confused' with the additional load at idle, but at 2K RPM's (factory setting on the constant throttle switch) it's happy as a clam.

I see you are in Boston - I'm down in RI. I travel that way frequently, would be happy to show you the van.

Also - what are you doing that requires 5Kw+ of power?
