My base hot and cold water system is only going to need a dozen or less connections. And I have the PEX plus crimpers and horsetail type fittings. But where I have to make some of the joins I will need to do some pole dancer type gyrations to get a good angle on them. So what is the collective...

I had a rooftop AC on mine from the factory so it had the 14” hole. The actual fan is a Maxxair. If you pull the ceiling lights you can get a fair idea of where the frame goes. But using heat and a thermal camera or infrared thermometer will give you a fair idea as well.

They are the ones I was talking about. Most rigs have damage to the lenses and at $16 each these cover the holes and are basically a straight replacement for the halogen portion of the existing lights. After my fist go with replacing all of my interior lights with these we only bought a couple...

I don't know how far you are through your LED conversion but I found these lights to be a good replacement for the existing fittings. The are not high/low but can be run with a dimmer. Amazon RV ceiling light. I have 7 of these in my rig and honestly I could of gone with 3 and had sufficient...

Hopefully the wife will not notice her cutting board is a bit short on one end. Spacers for the bulkhead fittings for the mixing valves.

So I found something else on the trolley that may make its way to this rig yet. It has a fire suppression system in the engine bay.

If you are going to play with spacers I would recommend you look at adapters instead and having them made for the alloy MRAP rims (75#). The rims are cheap (I get them for about $125 new). You will need to consider the bead profile (MPT or non MPT). Also I don’t know if your front axle runs the...

Those studs cannot handle the load of the wheel.

The guys at the local fire station will probably get them. They actually came to me and asked if I would sell them. Apparently they have a brush truck that never gets any grants or love. I have no idea what they are worth though.

I decided to steer clear of the Whelen 900 series. All of my existing 900 series LEDs are cracking at the screw mounts from branch whacks. And I haven’t even started taking this truck in the rough parts yet. Add that to the high $$$$ and very high lumen count I figured I would give the $39...

Ok finally done (for now). Compared to this (only 1 scene light connected as I have the other removed to run the shower plumbing) Did a check on the current draw. Turning on the existing lights involves turning on the module power. This creates an 11 amp load (not sure what is being...

I plugged them into the warning lights as well. Warning lights get a pulsed 12v and these lights worked on them (disco theme thought). The scene lights run through the V-MUX so I am thinking they must do the magic in there. I threw my hands up in discuss, uttered a few Aussie adjectives that...

We run the Maxxair ones. The best part is that they have a built in rain cover and when open are not as high as the Fantastic fans. It theory you can go down the road with them open. Given their extreme price I am not going to try that on purpose. The height it open to was a factor for us due...

Damm 1/4 wider and they would of covered the holes. Also they are deeper than a normal light and will not fit in the 2” cavity. Luckily I have a bunch of wasted space behind some of my lights. And before anyone asks. LED RV Exterior Flood Porch...

Another interesting fact. The scene lights on this truck are halogen but they only run at 5 volts. Just tried replacing them with LED RV lights and got a resounding failure. So then I tried the warning lights but the wiring pulses to give the flashing on these Now another 1/2 hour job will turn...

One of the other reasons for changing is to help tame this bed of snakes.

Yeah I figure this one is going to cost me a lot of Cold Stone [emoji510]trips.

I am envious of your switch and relay controls. My first instinct was to just replace the module V-MUX with switches and relays for exactly the reason you mentioned. But then the old problem kicked in. Why just do something when you can over do it. But I will surely live up to my “donor...

Getting rid of the V-MUX: 1- no reasonable way to diagnose or repair. 2- Spares are very expensive. 3- Not able to reprogram functions without spending upwards of $6000 on software. 4- control for things like scene lights only function from the cab. 5- main isolator needs to be on to have...

Yep. It could be another classic case of letting ambition overrule ability. 25 years since I did any serious programming so I hope it is as simple as they say. Otherwise I will have to get the 11 year old granddaughter to teach me [emoji1]
