Have you used the Wallas cook top and cabin heater yet?

While your there, have them look at the turbo discharge hose to see if there's oil present on the outside.

Sounds like a fun project. The CAD work is always the easiest part of the job. The body strength will be in the corner extrusions. What do you plan to use to connect the composite panels together? Do you have a staging area in which to work on this build? Have you considered sourcing a...

All good questions. I'd be curious what you find out. Regarding road and/or off-road navigation, you can't beat a device that can show you where your at, where your going and if you have tracking turned on and displayed, where you've been all at the same time.

Latest from a RV caravan group currently in mainland Mexico. ....those are some mighty large rigs. Are any of them later model diesels that require ULSD? If so, have there been any issues running Mexico's higher sulfur diesel fuel in them? .....Yes, we have some newer diesel rigs in the...

I've been following the progress on your blog and Instagram posts. Morgan cargo bodies are well built and are a good platform to base a build off of. Good Job!

Being able to park in the shade and moving the panels to a sunny spot is even better.

PerkyMog installed ClearPlex prior to his trip up to Alaska, their now down in Mexico. Fire off a question to them and you might get some feedback. PerkyMog on Facebook.

Technomadia did a solar write-up on their Blog when they tested flexible solar panels. From their Blog; The most serious problem we noticed was during a spell of 90 to 95 degree temperatures last summer. The thin covering over the cells (3mm thick) was not sufficient to keep the cells from...

Have you considered installing 'ClearPlex'?

This thread is starting to drift from the original topic. Specifically the use of diesel fuel that has a sulfur content greater than 15ppm in a vehicle that requires ULSD. Fuel contamination via water, particulate matter or contamination with other fluids is a distinct and separate issue. Ted...

Dyed diesel is for off-road use only, an example would be fuel for farm equipment. This is done to identify the fuel as non-taxed and to help enforcement officials easily identify it.

Win the argument that his is bigger than yours. It may take some time, but they seem to sell what they build.

Make sure the bumper ends offer better protection than what is shown in their product photos.

Is there a rear cargo door that opens up or down? How do you currently carry your spare tire? Why not haul the bikes using a second vehicle on your Moab trip this time around and sort out a rear bumper design later? A thread of interest...

Having just purchased a FAT bike, the 1UP USA bike rack looks like it might securely hold a couple of bikes. http://youtu.be/Pm-LUMnSTBg Doesn't your truck have a rear bumper with a built in receiver hitch? Does the rear body departure angle make attaching a rear bicycle rack problematic?

If your a professional mechanic in Canada, where are your drivers sourcing non-ULSD fuel? Poor fuel quality can take several forms, excess water, excess particulate matter and/or cross contamination with other fluids. It's the latter that's often overlooked. Make sure your drivers aren't...

There's a thread on the RV.net site that talks about this very subject that might prove useful to you and others.

A RV certification isn't that easy or simple. You need to take into account what your vehicle insurance company considers as a RV. Be prepared to supply pictures inside and out. Once they run the VIN and the vehicle comes back as commercial, don't be surprised if they won't cover you. If...

Not SCR, but Diesel Exhaust Fluid, i.e. urea. If the vehicle is equipped with a Selective Catalytic Reduction System that requires Diesel Exhaust Fluid, the use of regular diesel, (500ppm sulfur content in Mexico), can cause the DEF consumption rate to increase as the system tries to compensate...
