Here is an interesting section from the 2015 Sprinter Bodybuilder's guide:

Well, yeah, it did sound like he said that, but I think he inadvertently conjoined two independent thoughts. The claim is otherwise implausible. It would imply that the a/c could run for almost 5...

Coachmen is a Mercedes "Master Upfitter", so they must be doing it somehow.

No one is suggesting that it is physically impossible to get more current from a Sprinter. If you are willing to do enough hacking, pretty much anything is possible. But, you have to understand that...

You would need a mighty big wire from your battery to the oven. I think a microwave is one of the few places in an RV where AC makes sense, given the relative short run times.
