We have a AC/DC 12volt mini split. Works pretty good and kept the roof clear.

For budget brand, we have an Alumna flatbed on ours for the past 30k miles. I've documented in my thread its mediocre build quality but it has worked great thus far and was ~$5k installed. I'd buy it again but it pales in comparison to the nicer flatbeds out there.

They can market like this once they are registered as a vendor. You're right, the participation of vendors online is marketing and advertising. What remains unclear is your point.

Really? It seems like very little was said about something that you have suggested is a higher value alternative to established options. Your posts suggest that you have sourced an legitimate option - why not share with the rest of us what that option is and how to go about learning more?

To be fair, it was started by an interested party, not the vendor directly. I think your DIY panels look great and addresses an issue among DIYers that other vendors are not paying attention to so I think it is great that you guys are making them available. Kudos.

Cool. You guys make a cool looking product but it seems a bit spammy to post on another vendor's thread.

Are you and Boxxed the same company?

The K&N has worse filtration; this is well documented across numerous types of vehicles. It flows well because it doesn’t filter. I made a couple recommendation in my post above regarding other options for the 7.3.

Everyone has provided some great advice, including the observation that you're basically good to go already. The guys at 1023 offer a great service where you can discuss an "upgrade path" without any strings attached. Super helpful. I have a 2000 7.3. One of the best mods I've done so far is...

I appreciate your tendency to look at the bright side, but as you mentioned above, they are delivered at the GVWR. This still allows them to look customers in the face and say that their product does not exceed the manufacturer's rating. I am happy to be proven wrong. Regarding their wheel...

I stand corrected. I know you posted this exact same info previously but I have a tendency to forget things that don't support my own opinions lol.

Are you? :D You are getting trapped into the nuances of the gross vehicle weight rating, a vehicle's curb weight and EC's marketing. As you point out, EC claims that the wet weight of the completed camper is ~11,000lbs which is within the GVWR of a modern SRW 350/3500. Without calling and...

The Terranova as delivered is within the payload specs of a modern SRW 350/3500. Based on their assumed payload specs on the website, they intended it to be mounted on a SRW 350/3500. Keeping it that way once loaded with people and supplies is the end user's responsibility. FWIW, it won't be.

Researching my hobbies is my actual hobby.

I get your point about truck appearance - I am not a "truck guy" myself, either. But 41" MPTs do look cool lol. Cost is a real concern for most of us and as a consequence, it would seem like the most direct path would be to start with DRW and if you're unable to get to the places you want as a...

19.5" tires can't be aired down due to their bead profile. Car and light truck tires use the interface between the wheel and bead plus the pressure within to hold the tires on. 19.5s and similar medium duty truck tires use air pressure to hold the tire one which limits how low you can lower the...

It would help if you distilled your questions down to specfically what you're wondering about. Some of these questions are nebulous and I'm left guessing about what you mean to be asking. Some questions: Are DRW F-350/3500 trucks "different" from DRW F-550/5500's because they're not on steel...

To clarify your question - you're hoping to replace your current 110v AC to that specific 12v DC model because it fits into the existing hole and to minimize theoretical inverter losses while running AC on battery alone to keep your dog safe? Based on how you describe your travel (regular...

I would disagree that there is “not much difference.” The exchange rate makes Canadian labor rates and shop costs 25% cheaper (as of 1/30/24). Add that to the tariff assigned to a custom box (another 25%) and it can quickly add up. Finally, I’m not sure what shipping costs are doing these...

That is weird; @Victorian said the opposite in another recent thread. Anyhow, if that is the case, then I would work with another vendor as a custom box is your best bet for your needs.
