    Further out. Still working flawlessly.

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    Well, we are now outside the known Starlink universe, and still have full service. Will be heading further west, and hopefully will continue to get signal.

    Simple DC system to run a fridge and other small loads.

    What's with the diode on the feed to the fridge? If wired as shown it will short out the feed and either burn up or set the wiring on fire, as there is no fuse between it and the battery. Assuming you meant red to represent positive. Not sure what pump you are using but the ones I'm used to...

    TATRA 6x6 or 8x8

    Tatra is based in Czechia. They build the chassis and drivetrain and use Paccar engines (US). The Tatra Phoenix cabs are from DAF (Netherlands.) What parts are you aware of that would need to be sourced from Russia?

    No it came installed. But I wired my replacement based on the diagram I posted above.

    Isuzu NPR Radio wiring diagram

    Ok, sorry for the delay. The connector looks the same as mine: And I believe this is the pinout (this is a Mitsubishi/Dodge diagram, seems to be the same but no rear speakers.) The connector was used on quite a few Mitsubishi vehicles so you may be able to find an ISO harness that will...

    GPS on a laptop

    This reminds me of the joke about the tourists in Ireland who asked a farmer how to to get to Dublin. His answer - "well if you be wanting to go to Dublin I wouldn't be starting from here". Therein lies the problem. It's like asking how to remove a screw with a hammer. It can be done, but it...

    Isuzu NPR Radio wiring diagram

    I put in a 10" Joying Android unit. Lovely big screen, but still a work in progress getting it set up how I want it. I'll have a look at the connector on mine tomorrow. There are not that many wires.

    Isuzu NPR Radio wiring diagram

    I have some info on the 2021 NPS head unit pinout, but it might be different. Can you get a photo of the connectors, and the wire colours on the back of the plug? i also have a new head unit from a 2021 NPS that I have been meaning to sell - I took it out as soon as I got the truck and put...

    WTB, Wrappon green toilet

    Composting toilets, at least the RV kind, don't really compost, since full composting takes 12 months or more, but since you only have to empty them every month or two it's easy to schedule that when waste disposal facilities are available, and in the meantime the contents are completely...

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    The brand new RV plan allows you to suspend the service on a month-by-month basis so that would be perfect for you. I asked if I could switch to that but right now it's only available on new orders, and even when they do allow switching it will work only with the [] dish not the round one I put...

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    Well, you can't order the system for most of Qld north of Bundaberg, but I'm pretty sure there is actual service available up the east coast as far as maybe Cairns - there are certainly ground stations in central and north Queensland. If you look carefully on the map you will see there are some...

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    The dish does not *need* to point to the north (or south in my case) - it chooses to do so to optimise the view of the most satellites. The actual steering of the beam is done electronically. If you unplug the motors it complains but works just fine anyway, perhaps with some reduction in...

    Starlink dish installed on roof. Just got to finish wiring and test.

    Vortex Generators

    I wonder if putting VGs at the front of the habitat would have more effect on drag than at the back.

    Dedicated Starlink and mobile 4/5G thread

    Going from 12V to 24V gives significant advantages in terms of cable size required, the same applies again going to 48V but the overall impact is probably less. 24V has the advantage that many RV applicances are available in 12 and 24V, but rarely 48V. 48V will run your Starlink directly though...

    Dewalt charger for 220 volt power outside us

    Dewalt sells 240V chargers outside the US, e.g. in Australia the charger part number is DCB115-XE vs DCB115 in the US. The US DCB115 manual says it requires 120V.

    Does Anyone Need A Giant 4x4 Motorhome?

    Each to his own - I think that interior is downright depressing. So dark and heavy - it would make me feel like I was incarcerated in a 19th century asylum.
