I just wanted to share something that happened today. I’m sure yall aren’t this dumb but maybe this can help someone?

I was installing these little storage things on the back doors of my van with a buddy. We got to talkin and he was asking about my mechanical ability. Like when I do hit the road next year, should something happen, will I be able to work on it if I needed to? I said yea I’m pretty sure I can.

As I was stuffing the back doors with insulation, he had walked up front and popped the hood. He hollered at me and I walked up front and he asked me where my battery was and how I was gonna jump it off if I needed to. After looking for a few minutes I admitted that I had no idea. The battery is not under the hood on a 2024 promaster.

We got on our phones and looked it up. The battery is under the floorboard on the driver side. There is a way to jump it off under the hood but you need to know how to do it.

So if I was on my trip in the middle of the woods with no service and the battery died, even with the jump box I would been in a jam. Possibly costing extra money and some embarrassment.

I know yall prolly know your rigs inside and out but I just wanted to share this with yall incase maybe one person maybe has a brand new van or something and just needs a reminder to get familiar with it.

I added a pic of the storage thing incase anyone is curious.
