I got my jack stands from estate sales, older than me they were forged back before chinesiuem was discovered.

are you traveling with a companion? I know for my parents a passthrough is required so my mom can crawl in the back and take a nap.. but her health is not the greatest and its hard for her to travel now days. a couple years ago I had some yokels pull into our dispersed camp in the middle of...

mine haven't broken so far at >11ft in the air: Mine a good 10in above roofline tho to get above AC and powah vent.. another thing to consider is how your gonna keep em clean, ripping down dirt roads makes em all kindsa muddy.. I gotta climb up w/a bottle of water and a squeegee/scrubber...

use steel or like 1/4 aluminum angle to make nerf bars to surround your panels..

Colorado BLM Land just follows these 2 stages, which I believe is what you will commonly find used in the Western US. Now I suppose every local jurisdiction can add whatever additional restrictions they want, but I dont think anyone gonna give you grief for cooking on a gas stove, I never...

never seen a fire restriction that did not permit LP burner use, heck I'm thinking of getting a LP fire pit because it seems like 80% of the summers we're in the highest fire restrictions you can have and I really miss sitting around the fire.. now charcoal and everything else is banned because...

would an electric convection oven satisfy your old lady? they tend to cook faster, which means less hit on the battery.. and you'll have the genset to fall back on if the bank is too low to cook on.. Induction cooktops are pretty damn sweet, but personally I'd rather not use electric for my...

ayup, its just significantly smaller.. 94% is the CEF for a Trojan T105 recommended by manufacturer, and 99% for a Battleborn recommended by manufacturer.. When you put 25Ah back into your Trojan, you really raised its SoC to 23.5Ah, your Battleborn is at 24.75Ah.. so if thats your charge cycle...

I highly doubt that, at full tilt my EU2200 is not really quiet anymore. its only at partial throttle that it starts to separate itself from the more obnoxious gensets. EU2200: 57 dB(A) @ rated load 48 dB(A) @ 1/4 load EU3000: 57 dB(A) @ rated load, 50 dB(A) @ 1/4 load So charging his...

ah I was picturing more enduro type so you had a method of transportation that didnt require taking the MTVR into town for a few small supplies. Webasto Makes a Diesel Cooktop: and Diesel water heaters are super common, Webasto & Espar make em.. I'm installing one right now on my Audi, mostly...

motorcycle garage eh? thats sweet, and would justify putting a somewhat small gasoline tank/transfer pump to fill the bike and feed the genset (~10g).. dunno what it'd take to make a honda eu genny work off a fuel pump, worth looking into perhaps.. since you have gas powered toys going diesel...

Unless you have a Lithium bank, if you pull 25Ah out of your bank.. it takes more than 25Ah to restore your bank to the same SOC it was before.. there's significant losses involved with lead chemistry..

yeah but are you capable of charging at 2000W all the time? a 3k at 66% load should be considerably quieter and more fuel efficient than a 2k @ 100% load. the 2k's are super nice for their portability, but I have a feeling his is gonna be fixed to the truck vast majority of time so its just an...

It aint walking away if you weld this plate to your truck: http://lowprolockdown.com/shop/complete-lowpro-lockdown-system-for-honda-eu3000is-redblack/ I'd just hang it under your container open air, with some bash/rock shields and a remote exhaust to get it away, maybe an extra muffler cuz why...

there's a guy on ebay who sells exhaust extensions for honda gensets, just weld on a bung that adapts it to various kinds of pipe fittings. I would imagine finding a box you can mount to frame rails would be rather easy.. There's a company called low-pro lock down that sells security plates that...

yeah I hadda install a status LED inside the camper so I could tell if the genset ran out of gas or not with it on some extension cord just charging.. when AC's running tho its pretty loud because its wide open throttle.. but still very tolerable placed away. Ive found conversions for honda...

This is what I'm thinking of doing to my Diesel Westfallia project, its small enough to fit in EV parking fine and I wont be able to carry as much solar as I need on the fiberglass poptop.. at least when were shopping at kroger or something it can be sucking up the amps w/out running the...

just built that onan diesel genset onboard, you wont need to carry any extra fuel and you can set it up so when your bank gets low it automatically starts the genset (if its not quiet time) and charge the batteries, then shut down when its full.. all automagically because its got remote electric...

awesome, glad your making progress.. thats interesting its got teeth counters on it, hopefully that PCB handles all that.. sounds like a blown up servo motor tho really. So I did a thing last weekend, omg its soo awesome tuned.. butt dyno says at least 2s were shaved off 0-60. It spent a...

I do not endorse any of these, just quick results from 'building a large LFP bank' on the google. http://nordkyndesign.com/assembling-a-lithium-iron-phosphate-marine-house-bank/ TLDR: You find a source for quality LFP prismatic cells (easier said than done), bolt em all together in a housing...
