The only thing I question is why the mega-cab? The 4th gen Ram quad cabs seem to have enough space back there and it would eliminate the frame lengthening work? I prefer a regular cab, but I don't have a family.

Have a Novakool in my Northstar. If I could do it over again, I would consider other brands.

You didn't have any problems in the small market towns of Mexico and Central America?

Yes, lots of pictures!

Do you carry a large hard sided slide in camper like the OP? Have you driven through Mexico and Central America with that large of a rig? I think you are probably right that a lifted dually on 35's not being a rock crawler is probably fine, and I do think they look bad ***, but it all changes...

I might have misunderstood. Looks like it's around 35-50 amps DC consumption. I know another member reported getting 90 amps from 1200 watts of solar. So it's possible

Those cabinets look solid! Will you be able to do custom work? For example, there is a thread on the electrical/12volt sub forum about high efficiency air conditioners, and a few people are using a mini split style AC units, one supposably draws only 350 watts with 9000 btu's of cooling. This...

Yes it will negatively impact handling and drivability. It will also negatively impact where you can go, it will also increase your stress level. I see no reason to do it, way too many cons. It will affect reliability but more importantly safety. Plus if you lift it that high, it means you are...

I think 11ft and below is a probably a good goal. Haven't had much problem in NA with the height but I don't do a ton of off roading either. I really noticed the height in Mexico and Central America but dealt with it fine, just know there are some limitations. Everything is going to be a...

Excited to see how the interior turns out.

Where did you get that back up camera? Looking to mount something like that on my camper, one for back up and up facing forward up top so I can judge height of oncoming obstructions that I might not clear.

Great! Let us know how the truck handles the weight going down the road with whole combination (upgraded springs, tires, etc). This is coming from someone who can't decide between getting a 3rd. gen. 2006 regular cab 2500 or 2016 C&C 3500.

This one draws 6.0 amps cooling http://www.ajmadison.com/cgi-bin/ajmadison/M09CJ.html

Are there not that many 120 mini split units out there? It seems that way. I am assuming even going from 230 to 120 with a transformer it is still more efficient than the 120 units? Here is one I found...

Do you have to step this unit down to 120 volts? I think that it was 208-230 volts. Thanks for getting back with me.

Doubt you will ever see anywhere near 22 mpg if you add larger mud terrain tires. Stock tires, yes, 22 mpg might be possible if you drive at 63 mph on the interstate. I can't comment on how well it will do on the "trail" since that can be kind of vague.

S2DM, what Daikin model of mini-split did you go with?

Looks great!

I have an eco worthy, it will do 15.5 for absorption but the problem is that it only stays for like 10 min. max, I end up setting the float to 14.5 and leaving it there for a while to get more amps back into the batteries and then once full dropping the float back down. For the price I like this...

I have 14 gallon grey tank, I think it is too small for my use, but that is because I find myself staying in an urban environment and that makes dumping the grey water more of an issue. A larger tank would allow me to extend the times I would have to find a place to dump the grey. The issue is I...
