recycle at any battery seller

Agreed, The OP is definitely going the right route with a large high voltage panel and MPPT controller. I would also consider Morningstar MPPT and if you have room for two panels put in a controller large enough to handle two panels.

To be clear the amperage from the panel will be 8.73 Amps max. it is the output from the charge controller that will be higher.

The panel will be fine, The issue will be making sure the wiring is large enough to handle the amperage. You will also need appropriate sized breakers. you can make a 12V or any voltage system you want.

Drain it between trips. sterilize with a high bleach concentration before a trip and rinse.

Basically You connect all your charge sources to the house bank, done. You will need a charger between the generator and the batteries. The alternator and solar can be connected at the same time, the solar charge controller and the alternator will be fine. You need a SOC meter with a shunt that...

Be aware of voltage drop if you are putting a long run between the controller and battery.

Webasto Thermotop C 5.2kW 18'X8'X8' 4" floor, 2 1/2" walls, 3" roof, composite foam. We have run it -10 C at 14000', it was not happy! occasionally would not fire up for a number of attempts. Much happier at 10000' and below. Heats the habitat comfortably down to -30C (I spent the winter in...

Drinking untreated surface water is not safe. Municipal water(excluding Flint, Moab, etc.) no worries. Maintain your tanks, fill with safe water only or treat, and you are good to go.

You need to be using true deep cycle batteries. The Costco battery is a starter battery You need to look at golf cart or a manufacturer that makes true deep cycle batteries such as Lifeline or Rolls Surette, and you need to get them back to full charge at least once a week, more often if...

You might want this in the sale by members section, even if you only joined to sell your van. t will avoid price and quality comments.

Nothing says quality like a broom handle table leg or a piece of string and a fold down piece of plywood.

1989, 50,000 miles.

Our truck had well over 400K km when we sold her (we put on 200k) . As far as I know the turbo was still original.

I think I had to remove the turbo to get my starter out.

Two level bubbles in the cab. From the position of the bubbles I can tell how many wood blocks and which corner(s). Shovel for extremes. Simple, quick , cheap.

The cab should reach a point where it "tips over" so that you have to pump it back to lower. This prevents it from dropping on you inadvertently. It is possible that the oversize cab may not lift far enough for this to happen.

The oversize cab is probably not factory. All work done by a "fire truck coach builder", so...

Good luck getting any parts out of Russia now
