I’ve seen Tigers around once in a while for several years now, been intrigued by them from the first sighting, and I might be getting to the point where they’re more than a passing fancy. I’ve got the IH/Alaskan working as well as it’s going to be, but it’s still loud, slow, thirsty, not...

Or if you play it like I did, “see the underside of your Alaskan from the comfort of your creeper”. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Got out and about in North Park, CO: No issues other than the ongoing war with this gearbox: I dread every shift I have to make like a tax audit. There is simply no way I can four-wheel this thing until I make my peace with it. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

The material (Hemet Valley RV, IIRC) is not cheap, and the shipping is really expensive due to the size of a roll of camper skin. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Nice project. Saw that on FB, if I’m not mistaken. You might give some consideration to linear actuators to raise the top, especially if the hydraulic system is faulty. I’d love to swap over to LA’s: faster to raise the top EVENLY, and hydraulic fluid and its potential for a mess (my subfloor...

It looks like I was barking up the wrong tree: the water pump and furnace were still powered by the original undersized Alaskan wiring which takes a roundabout route from the battery to these devices, and grounds through the outer aluminum skin. I finally did what I should have originally and...

Because the BB was the subject of the conversation at $925? The Duracells are 105ah, BTW. If you’ve got some information to share in a civil and respectful manner I’m all ears; it’s why I started this thread, after all. If those simple stipulations don’t work for you, save your energy and go...

I am not discounting any of the information you’ve provided on lithium batteries; indeed, I have batted the idea around several times UNTIL price came up. I simply cannot justify the breathtaking expenditure, no matter what features are included. This is a recreational vehicle, after all. These...

Thank you for the information. As I said, I’m not real sure of the charge system voltage, because I can’t remember it. Important info, to be sure, but my fading memory seems to give little consideration to the importance of the information it deletes. I’ll take a look at that voltage this...

Thank you for the reply. “Aged out” is what I suspected, and they have sat long periods without a charge, through several winters. I didn’t know topping off the charge regularly was a good idea. Oh well. As for the lithium batteries, though I do appreciate the advice, the buy-in as I’m aware...
