Thats what I would say too! From some extensive experience in the trees I saw the need to ramp the approach and have roof sliders to deflect the branches upward away from the panels, in your application filling in the gaps so that a continuous flow from branches dragging along would be good...
Hey! You also have sand ladders bolted to the side of your rig! And that seems to me to be the best way to deal with getting stuck, maybe some extra Maxtracks with a shovel and you should be good to go.
I have heard from many sources that air bags are not a good way to go, from several...
Yeah but thats only been for a few years now, overlength is still $10 a foot, but it is nice, I am often taking the ferry's and I take my truck and because its under 20 feet in total length it costs the same as taking my honda civic! But its still not cheap!
I can give a little bit of a review of the VIIAR system that I have been using since around 2010.
I purchased a kit that was similar to this:
Something like this but it was called a VIIAR 650 kit or something similar...
Well I gotta say we are all lucky to have many options now as opposed to when I was doing my build where we had, lets see.....um...............almost no options!
Those shower panels look awesome!
Paul, how do you trim the ends of those panels to size? What equipment and technique do you use to get no splintering?
The way I do it is to scribe a line with a sharp knife then run it through a saw with the blade on the proper side, whats your method?
For what its worth, I installed a Sterling battery to battery charger a while ago, maybe three or more years?... and it is simplicity at its best! I cant argue about its efficiency or functionality with different storage mediums ( I have lead acid ) but hook up the few wires and never look at...
can you elaborate on what you do? What torque app are you using and is this app needed for determining codes? Did you need the adapter cable also? Cant remember what the fitting looks like on the truck....If I remember correctly your truck is 2004?
No Isuzu's! The two trucks don't get along, they will fight it out, bad scene! Stay away!
Just kidding, they are so similar it just seems logical and normal that we include Isuzu's and any cab forward design........of course there will be the additional fee required though.
Piggy back onto the Northwest Rally, At last count we had 6 fuso campers in the Vancouver lower mainland area along with a few more in Washington, none of these will go all the way across the world to Flagstaff! There were only two of us there last year, me and Pugsly.
Yup I have had it for at least a year and a 13,000km trip and it has performed well. By the way my truck is a 2007. On my trip I had the unit on the whole time for extra torque but as a result lost a few mpg's which might have been a combination of being pretty heavy also therefore needing...
This is coming along great, just caught up with the progress after a little vacation in the sun.
John started to comment on what I was going to say and that is about the fridge venting. It look to me like a nova cool fridge and is a bit bigger than mine and what I know about them is they do...
yeah like I said you have a good handle on this for sure.
My pump will not run full blast all the time but will slow as pressure mounts and I want to say it pulses but that might not be the best word for it, maybe it just starts to slow and will pump at a rate equal to the outflow, I pondered...
From what I remember about bigoolies truck was that he has a big veggie oil tank just behind the cab and recently installed a roof rack over the cab and I might be wrong but I thought that the water tank was at the front of the camper which seems like allot of weight on the front axle and...
One last thing I will be doing and that is to carry a spare pump, I have not seen anywhere to buy one in Mexico and Im sure less so the further south you go, they are cheap insurance.
Looks like the design is good, but there is room for a more simplified system, but for starters you said you are open to comments so that opens the door for some and that means no BS number crunching to make it look better, we get enough of creative accounting in our governments.:)
I really...
Looks good Mike, one thing I made sure I did when installing solar panels was to have something to guide or deflect branches up and over the panel. Looking at that last image you can imagine a branch getting drawn in and stuck under the panel maybe causing some damage. Thinking back on our...
The structural adhesive is Sika 252, that was used for bonding all the components together and after some curing Sika 221 was used to seal and smooth out seams and joints, it states on the data sheet that it is resistant to aging and weather, take that for what its worth I guess, looking at it...
