Tire pressures set for the load will make a big difference. With a lightly loaded truck and tire pressures at 90psi, your risking serious injury and even death if you attempt to pick your nose while under way.

Not sure I'd go with a tire having raised white lettering since the rims are reversible.

You might consider checking the inside of the tank for excessive sludge prior to a purchase.

Have you sourced a sending unit for the fuel gauge yet? I'm sorry, but in my minds eye, I'm picturing the truck looking like a pregnant guppy with a mounted tank that size.

I concur. I've also used Garmin Basecamp to build a vast database of others routes and waypoints. The only problem I have is its inability to be used as a moving map with a USB GPS puck.

You missed one! Dirt, air and water are easily taken care of. Its the cross contamination with other fluids such as gasoline that can really do a number on modern common rail diesel engines. Know thy fuel source. A locking fuel cap isn't a bad idea. Something else to consider is how the...

Do your homework on this. Adding additional filtration sounds like a good idea, just make it doesn't cause your fuel pumps to work harder and thus shorting their life.

During your camper rebuild, did you see any indication of component movement inside the camper body? An example would be; shifted or cracked framing, misalignment of doors and windows, constant leaking of door and window seals, and/or broken cabinet door hinges and frames. Torsion free...

Yes there are. Using those as examples, you should be able to come up with a design that makes it your own. Designing and building the mounts are half the fun. Mitshibisi has body builder guides on their web site that will prove useful. It's that stinking step up on the frame that makes things...

It does what it's designed to do, but it gets filthy after use which makes packing a pain. If I could do it over, I'd purchase a Snow Peak fire pit instead.

With torsion free mounts anything is possible.

There would have to be a shifting of the steering wheel from one side of the cab to the other.

When you come to a complete stop and look down at the dash and see the transmission is in lets say 4th gear, slightly release pressure on the brake petal and allow the transmission's creep function to engage. The Duonic transmission will downshift to 2nd or even 1st depending on the load sensed...

Looks good! Where's the best place to purchase a Lagun table mount these days?

I believe he mentioned in an earlier thread it's an 05 FG140. So there's no particulate exhaust filter and it's a manual transmission.

I found the review; http://www.technomadia.com/2014/11/zephyr-is-solar-powered-800-watt-rv-bus-roof-solar-install/

I can't remember where, but somebody did a review on flexible solar panels. They did the job but got HOT sitting out in the sun and the heat transfers to the surface their attached too. The other thing was the individual cells tended to cup which allowed water and dirt to accumulate causing...

Is the AC powered InstraHot unit powered off your battery bank or shore power? Does it cycle on and off to maintain a hot water supply or does it only power up when it senses a demand for hot water at the facet?

You are correct!
