Sounds like a great find! The 7.3 is a legendary engine. Pretty cool that they sent you build sheets on it, if those include the wiring schematics that will save a lot of time. I also purchased an ambulance recently.

I would suggest taking your rv to a reputable rv service dealer. The copper line you see when you remove the furnace cover is more than likely carrying reduced pressure due to the in-line regulator between your frame mounted tank and the furnace. If you have the portable buddy heater with single...

I installed air shocks on the rear of my class B and ran the airlines up into the passenger compartment with seperate fittings per side. I can let air out or add air to level the van side to side from inside the vehicle. Due to the weight and the angle my shocks mount at, I can only vary each...

I am running a Iota dls55iq4 too. I have had zero issues with it, and it saw every day use for quite awhile before I put more solar on the roof.

The Mr. Heater branded black hoses have this issue. Other manufacturers I don't know. Mr. Heater has been aware of this issue for quite some time and is the motivation behind their insisting the optional filter be used with the extension/conversion hose and bbq bottle. They are also aware the...

http://www.straighttalkhomephone.com/<br /><br />Does anybody have one of these? If so how do you like it? <br /><br />$15 a month for unlimited sounds pretty sweet to me.

If you are using the BLACK conversion hose to hook your buddy heater to a bbq bottle be aware the hose material releases an oily substance which WILL PASS THROUGH THE FILTER and begin clogging your heater. The first way this problem manifests is at the pilot light. The residue will sit in low...

I took the roof a/c off of my coachman van camper and replaced with a fan-tastic ventfan. There was no discoloration inside, just an indention in the ceiling fabric where the outer bezel had been. Disconnected the electrical wires for a/c from power distribution center and hooked up to 12v panel...

I run the generator to power mine unless I'm near a plugin. The amp draw on the walmart 5k GE running from inverter would be around 50 amps at 12 volts. It's just not feasible to run a/c off battery in a mobile setup as the bank size needed, and amount of solar panels to recover daily would be...

Sounds pretty cheap to me. Grape solar 100 watt panels are $200 and sunsolarusa 100 watt is $185 and I thought those were pretty good deals.

We are surely in the dog days of summer! I turn my 5k unit on when I get off work of an evening and once the sun is off of the van for awhile it cools good. I miss the nights when it was cool enough to be comfortable without a/c. Congrats on the new lifestyle, I hope you like it I know I have...

I hear ya, I spent a lil over a year with the same outfit you were with and they did work my tail off. I am now with a much smaller outfit and it's pretty laid back in comparison.

I have a GMC G20 3/4 ton class B van camper and I wish it was a G30 1 ton. I freelance mechanic on the side so the weight of my tools and equipment adds up. Currently looking at a G30 parts van to swap the 1 ton parts over to mine. If I were starting from scratch I would surely go with a G30 or...

Congrats on landing a job in this economy. I too have returned to full time work recently selling auto parts.

I started out with the harbor freight kit and ran it for over two years before adding more panels and a better charge controller. <br><br>

I have a sunforce 5 watt panel propped in front of the sunshade in the windshield when I'm parked for an extended period. It keeps the starting battery topped up just fine. <br>

In response to the question about keeping an LP fridge level. You should be picky about it. I now have a 110V Magic Chef fridge, Instead of my old Dometic Tri-power as a result of not being picky enough. Ironically though I did try rolling the old unit over a couple times a day for a few days...

You can often get a good deal on solar panels rated for 24V and 48V systems. These CAN be used on a 12 volt system, you just need a MPPT charge controller capable of handling this. Look at the better Midnight Solar, Xantrex and Morningstar units. <br>

Remember that a battery isolator works with diodes and has a voltage drop typically of .70 volts. Assuming a charging system voltage of 14 volts you would send 13.3 out of the isolator. Some isolators have a terminal for the voltage sense wire from the alternator (if your charging system has...
