Thanks!

That looks very nice, both the design and execution. Are the flares tapered behind where the front door opens?? If you have a second can you elaborate on what's going on in the battery compartment? Looks like a Blue Sea class T fuse, a shunt for monitor??, a Blue Sea charge isolator . What's the...

Thanks, I had been looking on Ebay, I decided I wasn't willing to risk it. I work right next to a Defender, and got mine on sale cheaper than I could get it on line. I wanted a warranty. I really like the features of the Xantrax Freedom 1800 HF for the money, but all the sites that I checked...

Here is the mounted Cabover from underneath. I still have lots of caulk and trim to go on. Sent from my Passport

Got the hydraulics fired up and raised and lowered the roof a few times, a bit of a relief to know it actually fits well. :) It goes up faster than I calculated, the pump flow must have been specified at max load?, it basically sees no load in my application. Got my Magnum Charger/Inverter...

I should have mentioned I have two Full River AGM 224 amp hour 6V GC2 in series. I had not heard of these, but they have an impressive data sheet, and the local battery distributor had them in stock and recommended them, plus he will stand behind them if I have issues- that's big to me...

I took another look at my real needs and budget. I ended up buying a Magnum 1212(1200w modified sine wave/70 amp 4 stage charger) I also bought the ME RC50 remote (the one with the digital display) I don't have it wired up yet, probably tomorrow. The remote will show lots of cool info, but my...

Really, don't be a tease "Hey guys, I bought the coolest truck ever , but you don't get to see it" Just kidding-sort of Sent from my Passport

I can see your point, but A) everyone of us had a first post I do agree that joining for that purpose seems hardcore, but often people turn to forums when things go south and they need help. B) I imagine this is one of few forums that people even know what an XP camper is. C) the mods could...

I don't like the fact they get deleted without any mod comments "Posts xxx-x25 deleted by moderator for inappropriate language, religion, politics whatever" This is the thread that had the stress cracks/window issues right? Sent from my Passport

By "way of doing so?" do you mean getting power to it? Griddles are heating elements which are just resistors, so they are pretty big loads. You will need a decent size inverter. Look at the griddle you want to use and find out how many watts it draws. You will probably find that the input...

I read it to mean the windows were not warranted by the window manufacturer? Sent from my Passport

I love the look and design of the XP, but those problems don't seems like tweaks to me, more like fairly serious issues. Stress cracks in the structure that cause window issues?(is this even accurate??) there's a bunch of these in various forms out there, surely this must be an isolated...

Peninsula Glass?

I went with the "Elite Series 1600" These are slide type windows, so only 1/2 opens. Motion has a simple worksheet that you fill out for size, frame color, tint etc. The window can slide up/down or left to right. They have nice latching hardware and screens. I'm not trying to push Motion on...

Bob, glad to hear you replaced the old Alaskan with a newer one, I'm going to be kind of attached to this one once it's done, but not so sure I would replace it with another, I would like to get something element proof, like a Northern Lite or Living Lite(aluminum). I just don't like the high...

I need to spend some time cleaning the shop before I take any wide shots, but here is a shot of the hydraulic, just needs wires(big ones :)) . The pump is overkill, but only needs to be run once per camp session when the truck is running. The pump that Alaskan uses is much smaller, but cost 2.5...

Neat project, just a couple thoughts: Do you need the marine version of the Motion window?, it's probably pretty heavy, I was going to get their high end double pain RV windows and ended up with single pane for weight and thickness(thickness won't be an issue in your build) Even the single pane...

Nice read, thanks for taking the time to post. I'm envious, when I was in college ('84) I had a '74 toyota Hilux 2wd. It had like 40# of bondo and tar, a homemade flatbed and John Deere green rattle can paint. I ran aggressive snow retreads as AT/MT wanna bees. I made that poor thing go thru all...

Makes sense, thanks Sent from my Passport
