    NPS Camper Build

    I have had no problems with redarc gear. Have you thought about using a charge equalizer rather than a transformer. You have a better control of peak loads. You may need to talk to the redarc guys on how they work with the LiPOs

    Replace stock shocks

    On my NPS 300 I run the same shocks that run on a Kenworth Airbag suspension rear axle. I went to my local truck supplier with shock in hand & asked for something that fits. The benefit of the air bag compatible shock is that they work 30 to 50% harder that a shock on a standard suspension...

    Fuso oil consumption????

    Rather than oil used / kms. A general rule of thumb 0.5% oil consumption per litre of fuel used is starting to be excessive on diesel engines (This is not a Fuso spec) All engines should use some oil, as oil will get caught in the honing marks on the cylinder wall. If the engine is not using...
