As annoying as a generator running all night may be, that's not the point of this ban. It's strictly for emissions reasons. It's another blanket policy that doesn't take into account the many nuances surrounding the use of small engines. Fuel injection or other exhaust treatments don't fix this...

https://www.google.com/amp/s/www.motor1.com/news/553055/california-small-engine-bans-generators/amp/ Just did a Google search, see if this site works.

I just read about the zero emissions legislation for small engines in California. I guess everyone there will have to buy their generators from out of state now. It might just drive up sales of dc-dc chargers so people can idle their vehicle engines to charge batteries rather than a small...

Very cool project! Having built something about 1/30th the size of this project, I can only imagine the amount of planning and testing that has gone into this. Good job sir! Keep up the good work

I'd agree with this. We run and older steel body supercab f550, new alumibody supercab f550 and a regular cab 5500 ram all with service bodies. The tech running the alumibody Ford drove slowly through a ditch and the rear c pillar buckled in on the cab. No contact with anything, just couldn't...

This made me laugh. To answer your analogy.... Some people already own a claw hammer, or really like brand "X" hammer that doesn't make a framing hammer, so they want others to confirm that they've been using a claw hammer or ball peen from brand "X" for framing and it's working great for...

Also, did this occur suddenly, or has it slowly gotten worse to this point?

So it sounds like the fuel system is fine: Not losing prime with air leaks Runs fine after starting with no lack of power New prime pump, injectors, and high pressure pump If it was electrical, I would expect to see codes, or a shut down of fuel delivery preventing operation at all, not just...

Does it have a grid heater or glow plugs? May not be getting high enough temperature to ignite on a cold engine. You could do a compression test and valve clearance check too. Does it start by key after it's been running and the engine is hot? How long are you cranking for? Electric fuel...

2019 F350 XLT extended cab, SRW, long bed, 4x4, 6.2L Door sticker states max cargo capacity to not exceed 4293lbs.

Just a homebuild, no cab over section.

I have a '19 f350 supercab, long bed with the 6.2 and 3.73 gears. I added 35" duratracs and run them at 60-65psi empty and loaded. My camper is about 2000lbs wet weight. 35" tires fit stock, zero rubbing. I can still get a set of v bar chains on the back but the front would be a bad idea. The...

I've only ever out and needed two spares once. Put holes in two tires in one day. Luckily there were two of us and we had an ATV. Had to ride 2 up on the quad sitting on a flat tire to get to the highway, then hitch a ride to the closest town, get it repaired and hitch a ride back again. Killed...

I am not sure about the other reasons you state, but in BC you can 100% void your insurance driving drunk. https://www.icbc.com/road-safety/crashes-happen/impaired-driving/Pages/Default.aspx Last paragraph under the "Price of impaired driving" section.

They do in BC: https://www.th.gov.bc.ca/cvse/faqs.htm Section 16 for truck campers. And: https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&rct=j&url=https://cvse.ca/vehicle_inspections/PDF/MV3230.pdf&ved=2ahUKEwi1xp3C2ZbyAhWTvJ4KHbTMBRsQFnoECAYQAg&usg=AOvVaw3VJGihS_ph1yQK5uINs28M&cshid=1628057441913...

The wife and I will be checking it out for sure. Likely trade the Grand Cherokee in on a small truck in the next couple years. Will need to try the ranger, Colorado, and the new frontier. Neither of us are fans of the seating position in the taco, so it's out.

I have a gas webasto in my camper. It works great. It'll cook you out of the camper at -20 c Is the coldest we've used it. It's nice and simple, I run mine out of a rotopax I've attached to the outside of the camper. Twist the control knob and the heater does the rest. I put the control knob...

Popup fabric is done. Still need to paint the propane bracket. It's repurposed from a shipping bracket. Actually, most of the diy brackets on this thing are from old shipping brackets.

Just a couple observations. If you're doing a pass through it isn't going to be easy to just change trucks, if that one isn't working for you. Also, you'll likely need to pull a trailer hunting. How would you get an animal out of the bush with the rig you are planning to build? A moose or elk...

I would have bolted to the bed if I was going to leave the camper on most of the time. I want to be able to take it on and off frequently with minimal mucking about so I went with the frame mounts.
