He doesn't have a TTB. It's a straight axle

The Suburban 16k and Everest Star are very close to the same size, Atwood smaller in 2 of 3 directions. I like that the Atwood has a lot more metal in it and I've never had a Suburban appliance that held up long term. Water heater leaked (tank weld), furnace heat exchanger cracked. But the...

The complexity of those units is a turn off for me. Not to mention $$$ and limited availability/support in the US. I know there are people who use them happily but they're typically in the Camping World club and unlikely to venture off the beaten path or be in harm's way should their furnace...

The Everest Star furnace I have in my plans is nearly exactly the same size as an 8D battery and they both sit side-by-side beneath the truckfridge 130 quite nicely. Pretty much sums up my plan for the furnace/battery/fridge cabinet I want to put right behind the driver's seat. I'll mount it as...

Had excellent luck with Coopers. Both AT3 and HT3. Zero complaints. Usually take advantage of their rebates each Spring on one vehicle or another. LOVE the HT3 on Ford TIB front ends Got 70k on a set of HT3 right now on my CC DRW that never moves unless it's NEEDED and they're due for...

I don't think I'll make the 8.8 to 14b swap. Considering the cost of driveshaft mods, parking brake cables, and limited gear availability, I think I'd be better off finding an EB Ford with a C6 and pulling both the axle and driveshaft for a bolt-in swap. Can grab the speedo drive gear too for a...

Was just cruising your thread thinking there might be some info there...YUP. Probably a G30 cuz I know it has 16" wheels and I'm pretty sure it's 8 lug. THANKS

I have access to a ~1993 Chevrolet G-20 or G-30 van (not sure which) that my dad is using for storage on the farm but he wants to get rid of. It's scrap to him so I can have any parts I want. I have a 1989 Ford E-150 that I'd like to put a heavier duty rear axle in. Anybody know or have a way to...

Not always a bad idea..."The only connection to a battery post negative should be to another battery negative, the vehicle chassis, and/or the engine block." IMO, All batteries which share any circuits should be grounded to one another as directly as possible, post-to-post being ideal. Battery...

Fantastic offers double pane insulated lids

It would need a surface treatment to prevent corrosion: anodizing, powdercoating, painting, etc.

Different array but same question, 3x Renogy RNG-100D panels (100w, vmp 18.9V, imp 5.29A) and a 12v battery bank: with a PWM controller in series would be wasting efficiency due to a drastic voltage mismatch (54v vs 14.4v), right? But you'd not have to worry much about voltage drop due to...

The texture would have to be VERY fine compared to typical LINE-X or RHINO to prevent trapping dirt, soap scum, etc that would lead to both a slippery mess and likely a bacteria farm. Soap scum on hard rubber is way more slippery than clean stainless steel to a bare foot. A plain textured shower...

Sorry I missed the TO in MoTOped. Yeah those are cool rigs. A buddy wrecked his downhill bike and was gonna part it out for a motoped build last year but couldn't get a kit from them without an outrageous lead time, like 3 months I think, which made us suspicious.

Do you have a moped picked out? I really like my Honda Elite SR (50cc) for a variety of reasons (2 stroke so EASY/NO maintenance and plenty of pep (more than a 4 stroke), LOTS of storage, no fuel pump to fail, fits in my van easily side-to-side, etc) but it doesn't have folding handlebars. For...

600w inverter can pull 60 amps at 12 volts and 6 AWG cable is good for that load at lengths upto 10'. The fuse box u linked is good upto 100 amps total, 30 amp max on a single circuit. That'll need at least a 4 AWG cable upto 10' Since the inverter exceeds the fuse box's rating, it'll need to...

You mean like the "rate this thread" button?

http://semo.craigslist.org/rvs/5945974735.html Not really a 1992 van, likely a 1992 RV title. 1992 Ford Coachman Motorhome. 351 Motor with 85,500 miles. Good rubber, new radiator, water pump, sink faucets, water heater and 2 new batteries. AC unit blows cold and gas furnace works great. Side...
