A couple of questions that should probably answered. Aside from your CPAP what are you trying to power? About how many nights do you want to power the CPAP without recharging the.battery? What sort of budget do you have? Some simple definitions. Solar panels come in many variaties and...

My CPAP and it's emergency back up power pack. This has also turned in to a project power supply among other things. I don't know what I paid for the parts and pieces. Use that other parts list for specifics. This just so you can see how one might look. I am considering the XL popup tent cot and...

During biopsy it quickly became clear that brake lines and shocks must be replaced. Even if I were capable of doing these repairs, which I doubt I would not be able to do it alone or quickly. The rear brakes have been replaced and the brake lines all look good and the brakes seem OK. General...

Soo ... Will I split the function of each alternator, one for starters and one for house? Could I connect a 1500watt MSW inverter to the starters for use while driving? As for the after market Voltage Regulator could it be set to combine the two alternators to do a fast charge with higher...

WOW! Thank you all! Still reading and trying to absorb all of this. Mechanic is having fun working on my rig which I hope is good. Watching this guy diagnose a hydrolic leak on a Peterbuilt roll-off was fascinating! Sent from my SM-G920V using Tapatalk

Yup. My 2005 Ford E450 Shorty Bluebird School has TWO alternators! WTF?!? I'm thinking one was for running the wheel chair lift. I have a solenoid and an inverter that I would like to run directly from one alternator and let the other charge the starter batteries. I've found a copy of the...

There never was a rear AC. Rear heat? Yes. No rear AC. One part of the coolant line...

It's been a while but big things have been afoot. Not to jinx it but I have an offer on the house. Inspections start next week. I met the couple who made the offer and they seem a good fit and should make good stewards of this land. The clock has started to tic. I found a mechanic willing to...
