Looks like this might be the inverter charger in this beautiful beast?... https://highskyrvparts.com/rv-parts/rv-electrical/inverter-chargers/magnum-energy-power-inverter-me3112 If so, the user manual and specs are found at that link. :) (Page 51 of the manual suggests it would be able to...

Hey Mountaindog! it mght be a long shot, but is your rig still available? -Scott

Figured this would be of interest: Will attempts to test out the possibly of using a Ford Lightning as a way of muling electricity back to his home, which in our case would be a campsite. I don't know to what extent his experience is typical (I can't imagine it happens all that often), but...

Thanks, ATL. Good call! One more trip and then I'll able to focus back on getting the rig up to speed. -S

THANK YOU! I have no doubt about Chris' knowledge! Still running down some leads here locally, or well, trying to someone to call me back... LOL. (I've been out of town and had to take my truck - various reasons - so have neglected this upgrade to the van.) Yes, Ujoint is who I would...

Very cool! If you don't mind me asking, how much does a report like that run?... -Scott

Yes, always interesting to see how much these get flipped for. (If you have / get the VIN, often a google search turns up the auction results.) -S

Yeah, that's a great find!!! -S

Ah, I imagine you're looking at "BigFoot." I've had an eye for her as well. I don't know any one in Kissimmee, but the owners happen to be over in the Tampa area, they could take it to Mike at Mike's Garage. I don't think he's got specific expertise in foreign military vehicles, but he's as...

Alex, I think they update current location in their listing in the listing linked below. (Maybe quicker to connect there?...) https://expeditionmeister.com/expedition-trucks/other-off-road-trucks/expedition-truck-steyr-12-m-18-i272 -Scott

This truck has popped up online again... https://www.rvtrader.com/listing/2015-Custom-CAMPER-5024422449 "NOTE: Before purchase, the vehicle was painted black, the microwave removed (per my request), a telescoping leg added to table, and a different inverter (Jupiter) installed. After purchase...

Zachary, Thanks for the response! Sounds like you guys are in the foundling stages, relative to the big guys, but are doing your best to do it right! Kudo! Another, less techie question might be what kinds of challenging terrain your builds have been able to handle over the years(?)...

Hey Zach! Yes, glad you took my post as it was intended - for informational purposes. Ah, so you're finished products is always a dually, ie., you're not doing super singles(?)... I can respect your transparency! It sounds like you are a word of mouth guy, which is how I do my business, too...

FWIW, although I don't see it mentioned in description, that ad shows at least 4 different vehicles, judging by paint job (various similar models) and dually / single wheel status. Here's the OP's website, which features those same vehicles...

Sorry for the delay on replying! (Holidays!) Yes, I figured. I'll check that out as well as the ratio. THANK YOU Have you seen other lockers fail in this kind of application?... That does makes sense. The truck only has 35k miles on it however, and was fleet maintained until I got it -...

I've posted about my box truck previously here: https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/turning-a-box-truck-into-a-stealth-boondocking-overlander-dogmobile-4x4-conversion.234993/ @vintageracer had suggested I add a selectable locker to my rear axle, which sound like a stellar idea. My axle...

I do wonder how this beast would be to drive. I dug a little to find a payload on the 5500's and there a wide range. I'm guessing the the sheer weight of this thing would limit the off-road possibilities. -S

LOL!!! Hell, yeah! I like that! (I would need to make it magnetic so I can get into the occasional RV park... LOL) -S

Yes, for sure. That's maybe in ⅓ of the park rules I read and I've been asked more than a few times. (I've had travel trailers, a 5th wheel, class A, B and C and a truck camper over the years. I most often run into the issue that I travel with 3 dogs, all of whom are present the risk of triple...

THANKS, VR! I need to the beast to the scales and see if new leaf springs might be warranted. (The back end isn't drooping at all, but I suspect it might help with the sway I get when on bumpy ground a/o coming around a turn. I put an aftermarket sway bar on my 4x4 F350 (when I was carrying a...
