Amps is current flow(movement of electron). Volts is basically difference in charge(how positive or negative as referenced to something) Amps X volts is power in watts A auto battery has about 12v DC between the positive and negative posts, depending on its state of charge( full charged is...

Cruising around town would be cool, here in the US I would end up in jail. When I was a teen my dad and I made a trike with a BMX bike front end and a typical go cart type rear, I had a blast with that thing and it would go anywhere . I kept breaking the spokes and bending the rim on the front...

You really getting 17.5 on the highway?, that's awesome, my '12 2500 Hemi CC 4x4 gets around 12.8 pretty much all the time. 3.73 and stock 30" tires. Most Power Wagon posters were saying 8-10, maybe 12 on the highway, you change anything? Not calling you out:), just wondering how? Keith

^ that's a wide fence-you looking to go off road or tow bulldozers? OP-sweet truck! Sent from my Passport

Cool! I like following your strange creations. What are you going to do with it? Sent from my Passport

I already have the Magnum Charger Inverter (MM1212) up and running. I have the ARC remote and BMK battery monitor(Magnums version of the Trimetric) Its pretty neat to monitor what's going on, although I was surprised to see that the lower end gear doesn't monitor AC input amps and volts, but...

Thanks for the reply, I should have id the truck better , it's a Ram Hemi. I need to measure the output of the alternator, my AGM s need 14.7 volts, I'm not sure if it outputs that high at the alternator, never mind at the end of 18 feet of cable. I have played with the voltage drop calculators...

Cool thanks, I'll contact you when I figure it out. Yup hydraulic is the way to go, better than solder, no overheating concerns.

I figured this must have come up, but search didn't find much. I have a truck camper on a 2500 Crew Cab truck. It's a lot of big wire to get from my truck alternator/ battery back to the camper bank. I have a Magnum charger/inverter in the camper, 88 percent efficient. A typical 2000 watt...

I eventually need a dual battery wiring harness/ relay for my Ram 2500 with truck camper. (connect (2) 6v in series in truck bed camper thru large Anderson connector to truck via Blue Sea relay. It's a crew cab, so a pretty long run, how big of wire do you carry? Are the crimps done...

Got some windows in, pretty happy with the fit so far, had to trim one piece of inside trim with the miter saw-black anodized aluminum, cuts like butter with a carbide blade Hard to get a good shot in the shop Sent from my Passport

Is there pricing anywhere, on my phone all I saw was $ for the camp and truck mattress, no tent or rv prices, is it all custom order? Sent from my Passport

Never heard of them, but I'm glad you posted the link, I'm going to give them a call for a mattress for my Alaskan Thanks! Sent from my Passport

I got the flip panels installed on some nice chrome plated brass butt hinges. I don't have the locking pins installed in this pic, so they are not quite vertical. Sent from my Passport

Not so sure, I'm in a Sudafed induced daze, your build was sold to Cascadian? Then what are you buying another truck for? Or did you build two? Sent from my Passport

Awesome build, I appreciate the pics of the business side of things, I wanted to ask a while back, but didn't want to be rude. There were several background shots and references to your work, that gave big hints, but I never really put the whole big picture together. Of course you may have...

Corner detail, will probably mess it up with a corner cap, but I don't want any leaks Sent from my Passport

Here is how I did the sheet metal ends. I used my Harbor Freight 30" brake. The two end bends were done in reverse order from the sides. The first bend is the 3/4" wrap that ends up on the inside, this was done by bending around a spacer block the exact thickness of the panel. Worked out great...

Mike's build took a left turn, most of us feel bad for him(myself included), but there are always two sides to every story, neither my responses nor the several above are going to do anything except get this thread locked, because now there too many daggers being thrown. I'm out Good luck...

Anything will help, maybe slit a piece of rubber tube and put it on the edge??. The whole battery box and retaining rods and strap are one big negative, so it's really contact with the red positive post that is a concern. That's what Stoffregen was referring to. Sent from my Passport
