    Should be easy to install a small aux. tank and switch over valve if one contemplated it hard enough.

    The Official Dometic CFX Fridge Feed!

    that may not be true if I understand right....... my understanding is the discharge is not linear. More % it is discharged.... the easier it discharges. Also different type batteries should not be discharged below a certain total % or you begin to damage the battery's life pretty quickly...

    How do you build a legal safe bench seat convertible to bed?

    yeah old question but since this was resurrected thread...... the answer is...... THE INSURANCE COMPANY!!! It is NOT so much about legality as it is about who is liable / responsible. if your vehicle is in an accident and the person in that seat is injured.... your insurance will deny...

    Using tool chests or file drawers as cabinets in a van or RV build?

    your camper will rattle like all get out if you do not line them with something..... an added expense. The affordable ones found used are usually extremely cheaply made. The expensive ones... IMHO sometimes not much better; just paying for a name ("snap on" comes to mind)

    M923A2 6x6 Glamper?

    would be curious if they did any flex mounting of the camper to the truck chassis. If didn't that thing will break do pieces the very second you flex the truck off road.

    LMTV 1078 Camper build concept

    believe that quote was from manufacture....... but person did not do it. That price would definitely justify.... "slow down and smell the roses" . For me.... am exploring living in mine for few years. The overall cost of the Camen 3rds, plus larger tires to bring rpms down more will...

    LMTV 1078 Camper build concept

    cost or regearing ranges greatly based on who does the installing of the gears. Cost of gears (which right now is actually whole center chunks with better ratio gears already in them) is just under 2 grand - 2.5 grand.. matters shipping. I suspect that price has skyrocketed though since it...

    you can't walk around it and there is no table to speak of... more of a deck. It is enclosed on three sides... overall it's about size of a small car and ain't talking a Smart car

    LMTV 1078 Camper build concept

    6-7 mpg is norm..... 8-10 with high speed gear* swap in axles (for me... in the works) theoretical 10-12 with taller tires (53") to bring the ratio closer to "optimum" * high speed is oxymoron .. lowers engine rpms and gives you better cruise... yet not optimum for either...... but presently...
