The outgoing Isotemp heater was about 21 1/4 inches long and 11 1/2 in diameter. The incoming Nautic unit is about 19 1/4 long by 8 3/4 in diameter.

Hot water system change Right before Paul Jensen left for the trip around the Olympic Peninsula detailed above, he had to deal with a flooded passenger side floorpan caused by leakage from the connections on the Isotemp 15-liter hot water heater used in the XV-JP. With considerable effort...

Out and About . . . It's probably worthwhile to let everyone know that all's well with the Jeep and it's acquitting itself even better than hoped. I've been getting it out to assorted campgrounds and it has, fortunately for me, been living up to expectations. As has been my view from the start...

Two thoughts on this . . . First, not only is the reception line of sight, but the transmissions are directional. We have an antenna of the rear shelf of a sedan and get much better reception headed north on I-5 than on the return trip because the satellite is to the south of us and the car...

Of course you do. What empiricist wouldn't? FWIW, I can give an excellent report on the SeeLevel system: http://www.rvgauge.com/ They read to the nearest percent with a claimed 2% accuracy and I found mine seemingly accurate on the Sprinter. They work with external tank sensors that' are...

Equally fictional, to be sure. I've no information as to whether the Brain's magnetic infindibulator replicated General Electric's use of six hydrocoptic marzul vanes to prevent side fumbling on the turboencabulator. And now, back to the Tigers . . .

I'd be flattered. Most people don't know that I came up with the plans for the magnetic Infindibulator* before it was on Animaniacs. ;) You're right . . . there's some serious thread hijacking going on here. Still, you've got to cut slack for old farts and their mid-90s memories. And how...

Thanks for taking the time to share your information and photos. It's a very nice build and I appreciate having the information.

Hook, line and sinkered from Yakko and Wakko down through Chicken Boo and the Randy Beaman Kid. Sad that the current youth of America don't have the daily challenge of trying to "get' everything in those shows. And for you, Frank . . . "This is the earth. And this is Pinky. You can tell the...

Faboo! :wavey:

Sometimes. You know how it is with Costco . . . if it's anything more exotic than milk, you best buy it when you see it, 'cuz they don't wait around while you think about stuff. :sombrero:

If you haven't seen them already, there are relevant posts at: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/77187 and http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/44903. James Lombardo, the original poster of the last thread, is in the Bay Area and is, when last I checked, still a Long...

Mine seem to work well, and the form factor for the charger is good. I was able to get my sets at Costco at a good price.

The Bullet XV rocks. One of the best home builds ever, and an inspiration to many. There is an excellent blog covering the vehicle at: http://bulletxv.wordpress.com/.

Moving right along. Thanks for the update. Glad to hear it's heading for a NWMF debut.

Thank you, Pat and Cindy. I really appreciated the opportunity to look through your excellent photographs.

I assume you have already done so, but if not, you should talk with Creative Mobile Interiors (creativemobileinteriors.com) as many of us consider them the premier Sprinter converter in the country. As far as build suggestions go, you may want to look at the build threads for the Sprinter...

Some wives don't much like holes, I was informed with considerable vehemence. :sombrero:

FWIW, there is additional relevant information here: http://www.expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/44903-JK-aux-fuel-tank?highlight=EarthRoamer

In a 5/18/12 post, Michael did a nice job of writing up a good summary of the work all of us did reconfiguring the EarthRoamer XV-JP. I thought that the article was well-written, quite accurate and documented with well-chosen photographs. It's a well-done blog that I've enjoyed following since...
