    Cummins Canoe (A Stepvan Story)

    I like the build, it’s gonna turn out great. In regards to the goofy non overdrive transmission, I am aware that in some medium duty auto transmissions they electronically lock out the overdrive to intentionally reduce speed. I think this is done because the tires are not rated for the speed...

    Jku Engine Swap options

    I’m surprised the Jeep guys are having problems with the 3.6. My new work truck, a ram crew cab has the 3.6l and it’s not any slower than the 3.5l tacoma it replaced. I would think a supercharger kit would be the easiest way to get more power, and you could remove it and put the Jeep back to...

    Suggestion for a battery charger

    Do you have an existing converter/charger in your RV? It’s possibly built into your fuse box area. Many of them are dumb chargers but you can upgrade them to smart chargers and there is no danger of over charging batteries by leaving your rig plugged in too much.

    2016 Chevy Silverado LTZ Z71

    Have you considered wheel wheel liners? I'm wondering if it would help to prevent rust. They would also cover up those frame holes, I think.

    Security camera system?

    The Ring system is battery operated and linked to your smart phone. It's neither 12v or 120v. It's not hardwired.

    Battery Monitor

    I had the Victron 712 in my last rig and it was fine but I also wonder if there’s a cheaper option. I certainly didn’t use all of the features of the Victron.

    Q about propane systems winter storage

    I never gave it any thought in the five years I had my travel trailer. I think shutting the tank off is sufficient. If I was to do anything more it would probably be turning off the tank while the appliances were running in order to empty the lines.

    Pretty Useless but kind of funny

    I don’t know what a guy would even do with that thing.

    Squarestream

    An isolated dual battery system sounds like a good idea. Can you mount that AGM battery under the hood? Also I’m not sure about the 2.8 trucks, I had a few of the later 2.2/4.3 trucks. On those trucks you could cut the rounded corner off the battery tray and fit a battery that was bigger. Also...

    Why no Ram 1500 Builds!

    I just got a new work truck, Ram 1500 classic with the v6. I thought the v6 might seem slow but it’s fine. It looks tiny in the engine bay, you could almost fit a whole other engine in front of this one. The payload sticker on mine says 1670. That’s for a crew cab short box v6. My personal...

    Can we talk coffee brewing?

    My wife cannot go without coffee in the morning. I bought some kind of stove top percolator, an aero press, a Moka pot, and a collapsible java drip. At home the moka pot has replaced all else. She’s tried the percolator butthe results are harder to get right. At work I have a odd situation...

    Chinese diesel heater with portable power

    You could add a second battery in the stock second battery location and run power from it back to your camper. This would allow you to run a decent sized battery that is neatly tucked out of the way.

    Carrying Propane - exchangeable 20lb tank versus 2 smaller tanks

    I had 30 pounders on my old travel trailer and wished I had 20 pounders instead. Being able to exchange a tank in a small town, any day off the week, any time of day, seems like enough of an advantage. They were due for recertification last time I filled but the guy looked the other way, not...
