That would be the first on-board fire extinguishing system I've ever seen on a RV. Definitely gonna thrill anyone who uses a torch near the front end!!

Regarding your request for connection data on the V-MUX nodes, I attached some data from my file. Let me know if you need a breakdown on any of it

Regarding scene lights - It took me years to find the stuff I wanted, but my side lights are Whelen M9 6500 lumen LED, and my rear scene lights are Tecniq K90 5000 lumen LED. I also have a Tecniq D30 2000 lumen LED load light on each side in place of the original 120 volt halogen flood light

The value of light bars is all over the map - the last one I bought was only $50, and the one before that was $65 - but these are both rotator bars with halogen bulbs. LED bars are worth more - if they're Whelen, and you need red/blue LEDs, they seem to go for about $250 on up. Amber or green...

And still more reasons to remove the V-MUX I replaced all my interior Whelen halogen ceiling lights with Tecniq ambulance ceiling lights. No regrets at all. More light, and no heat!

5 volts for scene lights sounds fishy. Every scene light I've run into runs on 12 volts. I wonder if somehow your system doesn't think they're warning lights, and it's trying to run them on low intensity? Or - is there a chance that they are miss-wired and are connected to a warning light...

I did my warning and scene lights the "easy" way.... I had left my warning lights as-is, except I replaced the clear lenses GEV had installed (in place of the original red & blue) with amber lenses at $35 each. Fine, but they were too visible when off to suit me. After about a year of looking...

And as the old saying goes: "You can earn as you learn". The system can grow and become more sophisticated as you become more familiar with it. Definitely good reasons to remove the V-MUX system. As you probably found out, a new control screen module sells for about $900, and maybe a little...

Two questions - It looks like you gave up on the Weldon V-MUX system - was there any particular reason, or just the general PITA of trying to work with it? What are you planning to control with the new system? Best of luck with the programming project!

Would it be possible to get some photos of the adapter? Maybe a dimension or two as well? Thanks!

Very nice storage! $399 is about what new ones sold for on eBay, plus shipping. For about $250 or so, the package may show a bit of water damage.

Just be glad your ambulance manufacturer is still in business! Mine is a Medic Master, which were built by American LaFrance, who went bankrupt. Thankfully, I have relay & diode technology, so I can muddle my way through fairly easily. Many of the ambulances use a V-MUX system, made by Weldon...

Welcome! One challenge you're going to run into is that the Intelliplex system was programmed to be used in an ambulance, and you may have to fight with it a bit from time to time. For instance, it will probably panic when it believes that your oxygen tank is empty.

The jacks are rated at 8500# - I attached some manufacturer's data on them. Pat & I bought ours when a bunch were released as surplus, but they still show up on eBay from time to time. Pat got one with some corrosion spots, and I wound up with one new in the box. They come with a carrying case...

Yup - the armored HMMWV jacks are definitely a solid piece of equipment. Pat and I both have one since it is probably the solidest way to jack a vehicle that's off-road. I carry a 12 ton jack and 18" pieces of 2x6 for blocking, but I don't do off road stuff. The HMMWV jack may find a home...

In addition to a normal 12 ton jack and 2x6 blocking, I also have a hydraulic jack for an armored HMMWV - based on your wheel luck, maybe I should plan on having both jacks with me. Cheap insurance.

All you can do is ride it through. The news says that the increased rain and hurricane activity are all due to global warming, so you might have even more hurricane activity in the coming years.

Many years ago, I wound up with an air operated barrel dumper. It was air operated since it was designed for use with flammable materials. The air hoist had a standard paving breaker "Chicago" air fitting, so I knew it might be an air hog. At the time, I really wanted a work platform, so the...

Been a long time searching, but I finally tracked down enough LED replacement warning lights for the whole ambulance. When I bought it, the blue and red lenses were removed (as per Pennsylvania law), and replaced with clear lenses. I liked the idea of being able to use the emergency lights as...

One of the biggest ambulance window builders is Cleer Vision (https://www.cleervision.com/windows/ambulance/). They make virtually any size, including sliders, and can supply them with mounting frames that can accommodate various wall thicknesses.
