Fellow Supernova owner

We have a 2008 supernova on the 2007 international. We bought it well used and with some issues. There was a nicely done air bag rear suspension that adds a little bit of softness before the leaf...

Expensive upgrade

Yes, it was not an inexpensive upgrade, but it got the existing charger out if a tight spot, took the heat of it out if the cabin, and increased my usable stored electrical power by a lot. The faster...

Upgrade time?

When you replace the batteries, consider upgrading to LiPO4 since you don't have the little multistage Dongle (which seemed overpriced to me). I replaced my charger with a Victron unit and a smart...
