Best price on ACRs I found was at Binicle.com. They were on sale at the time, free shipping, and may have even had a promo code. here’s what I bought https://ca.binnacle.com/p6760/Blue-Sea-7610-SI-ACR-Automatic-Charge-Relay-with-Start-Isolation-12/24V-DC-120A/product_info.html Or...

FYI, when I wired in the ACR, the cable from the centre of the diode isolator is connected to one post of the ACR along with the cable that connects to the starter batteries. The cable from the house batteries connects to the 2nd post of the ACR. My first choice was to wire the Alternator to...

I pulled out a sewing machine on a school camping trip and made my “bulkhead” curtain. I had told one of the other dads I was going to sew a curtain... the looks on peoples faces when I put the sewing machine down on the table and plugged it into the truck was priceless :D I was accused of...

FYI, my starting batteries kept dying after 12-15 months with the Diode isolator. The last set were six months old when I put in the ACR. That set lasted more than three years when the last three sets all died before 15 months. With the diode isolator there’s a .7 volt drop... meaning the...

Be careful, Costco is a dangerous place to go in an ambulance. :D

I may need to steal of these for the ‘New’ mower. So far I’ve been focussed on getting it running. Surprisingly it started and ran despite the carb. I’ve been bypassing the starter solenoid to start it for now... electrical gremlins are further down the list.

Are you looking at a 2WD or 4WD? Do you have any particular need for extra capacity? A 2WD E350 easily runs 3000 lbs front and 6500 lbs rear. I don’t have #s on an F series, but I can’t see them being less.

Header pipe wrap? Wouldn’t melt... :D

Hi-Lifts also work the same way... I had a rig that liked to rip the stems off the inner dually... so I’ve done it far too many times.

Ouch... makes me appreciate the older taper bearings so much more.

How much benefit is there to a DC-DC charger over an ACR? I can see an advantage for higher value batteries, but I don’t know enough to know for others

Thanks, It’ll look great on my rig.

Crestline Ambulance. Looks 1/2 decent. Rockers are rusty... for $3000 CDN it’d be worth a look. On FB market place.

https://expeditionportal.com/forum/threads/ambuland-build-thread.103768/ I have a ‘97 Crestline... Ambuland was an ‘01 if memory serves me right.

.013 amps doesn’t seem like much. Between the computer, clock in the radio, door locks, alarm... I’m surprised it’s not more. It should be good for 3 months. 12v isn’t fully charged... they should be more like 12.87 v when fully charged. I know a lot has changed... but my old Toyota will start...

Is there still a drain with the alternator disconnected?

David has/had a bigger one. Not sure what he’s going to use on his current one. Power use is essentially the same for both... but bigger = $$$$.

Where? Very Interesting, but not something I can do in this lifetime (unfortunately). :D

You’re a much braver man than I... perhaps by the time you and Dave have interior design perfected, I’ll have time to redo mine ;) I’ll be following along. Still happy with my Dometic CRX-50 “Kenworth” replacement fridge... in case you don’t already have a fridge.

Robbie are 10x better than Allen head and 1000x better than Philips. If you doubt that I’ll include one inside a crate I’ll send to you... I’ll assemble using Robertson so you can see how much better they are. ;)
