I have not done the mod yet, but I bought a 4" marine round hatch. It's the type that just snaps in. I bought two, so I could mod one to be installed when the wire was going thru it, the other intact for weather. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

What’s special about the Anderson lug? I have a set that came installed on #2 wire and I do recall seeing that the crimp was done from 4 sides(IIRC) , but that’s not typical of crimps in general. What are you hearing is the issue with a hydraulic crimper??, which when used with the proper combo...

Nice work Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I should have added this: I assume because you are looking at dealers that you are shopping New? I personally would by a used Northstar 600 before a new Palomino, but I didn’t research the fit. I have been in one and know they are for small trucks Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I’m not sure what moderate off road means in your head, but keep this in mind - any camper in the back of any pickup raises the CG a lot. This is pretty obvious , but until you get your rig ( with camper) tilted even a little and have water sloshing around in tanks up high, you may not realize...

Overland Experts in Ct and Va uses them to train military and civilian drivers. They had a couple at the Vt Overland Rally. They said they have to get them out of the country every 3 years. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk Pro

Somehow it took me all weekend, but I got my rear wiring run. The wiring kit I got was a little misleading in that it only includes the positive and relies on the frame for the negative. I wasn’t looking to throw any more money at it at this time so I went with it. I did take the time to make...

The camper and associated AGM bank (12 v 224 AH) is pretty much permanently in the truck bed Thanks for the detailed reply, I'll read it again and see if it applies to my situation I ran a #1 awg from the Alt to the starter battery, but removed it from the starter batty and currently have it...

Thanks for the reply. From a practical standpoint ripping the harness apart and replacing all the positives off the alternator isn’t going to happen. It’s a ‘12 Ram 2500 and there are a lot of hard to get to wires. If I can find a accurate wiring diagram could determ both ends off the stock...

Any reason not to run another ( leaving factory wire) big fat wire from alternator output to battery positive. It looks like the factory wire leaves the alternator and goes somewhere besides straight to battery. I’m afraid to screw with it much, real hard to get to Sent from my iPhone using...

Making some progress, out of the 3 hours I got into it, two were trying to cut the factory harness apart to get both slack in the positive( that’s not getting upgraded this go around, it’s buried) and get the frame negative free so I can upgrade it Lots of small wires along with the bigger...

Thanks and good point. The OEM battery wires are pretty small. I will look and see what kind of troubles I would get in either upgrading the OEM or running a parallel alternator to start battery connection Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

I like the bright red! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

You mean a second chassis to negative connection on the rear of the truck? I was thinking of that, but seems like I might get weird ground loop currents?? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro

Any reason why I shouldn’t connect the alternator feed (thru Blue Sea isolator and fuse) to the output of my inverter/charger(which is essentially camper AGM battery bus, but easier to get to) I was going to eventually put my solar controller output there too?? Sent from my iPhone using...

Petrolburner- seems like the best way is to snug up the screws during the initial install and then again a few days later and then maybe one more time a week or so later, I’m only talking part of a turn on each screw. I’m certainly not claiming to be an expert, but I did a lot of research and it...

Lots are installed that way, it’s not a looks thing, the butyl keeps oozing out as you tighten the screws over a period of time( not supposed to be a one time tighten and walk away) and eventually the fan or vent or window is up tight against the ribs on some sides and not others, then things...

That’s an impressive vendor response... nice Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Pro
