I’ve already killed one 12v compressor. The 5/8” shaft driving the piston sheared clean off. I doubt a battery operated compressor that could reseat a tire bead would be in my budget. Since I’ve done it a 3-4 times already, I foresee that it will come up again. Some of the laser printers, angle...

No worries

Even 14 seems like a lot... I know my rig was a steal at $1k... champagne tastes on no budget.

Local is good. I think the Vitron ‘expensive’ ones were about $7. While I was at it I picked up a new fuel filter for $18. Also a GPR if you’ve not replaced it, I highly recommend the Monster Strand-Core one.

Renogy has the best prices by far they’re less than $300 USD to my door. It’s hard to justify spending 3-5+ times that much for something I only use intermittently. Renogy’s max input voltage of 16 volts is better than Samlex at 15 volts. Occasionally my alternator output momentarily goes over...

Where from? Amazon seems to have them for a decent price.

I’ve got a power bar with USB ports behind my seat. It’s very convenient. There are always devices needing charging, TVs to power, angle grinders, etc,

I’m wanting to know what people are using. I was running a Samlex SSW-2000-12 pure sine inverter that died outside of warranty. Looking for a new one and thought I’d ask the community. I don’t want too cheap... but beer budget and champagne tastes. 2020 has been hard on all of us. I’d like to...

My inverter packed it in so I’m looking for a new one. Approx dimensions? Would you ship it to Canada, V8X 2V1 for $260 usd?

I got O-rings from DieselORings.com to rebuild my fuel bowl. Getting it in and out was a pain, but installing the O-rings was easy. I spent a couple extra bucks to get his best O-rings, because I only wanted to do the job once.

I’m looking forward to seeing what you are doing with the full extension drawer glides. I’ve got a set for the side stretcher compartment at the back to make it more useful... again on the one day list.

hang in there, You may not like this part... but it’s looking amazing. I know how much work it is, but it’ll be worth it in the end. While I’m seeing you do a complete gut and rebuild, I’m trying to find time to replace the cracked plastic on the passenger side of mine. I’m glad someone is...

Did someone say winch... https://canada.sherpa4x4.com/collections/frontpage/products/brumby-10-000lb-high-speed-winch?variant=29525183430708 Oh wait... to lift the bed, rather than the Truck. 8.9 hp would be excessive to lift a bed. Edit... although this would be better for our rigs...

If mine didn’t need to be an Ambulance, for advertising reasons, I’d be all over one of those Red Cross vans. Compared to mine it seems like a ton of money... but it has no miles on it. I’d be Leary of a 6.0... but at least you’re going in eyes wide open.

I’ll come by and take it off your hands if the border opens up. I’m not unhappy with the ‘97 front end, but the newer one would make space for an intercooler.

I’ll take Roxul / Rock Wool insulation over glass any day of the week. For now I’m leaving my glass insulation alone... way too much work to do anything else with it.

The oil pressure switch which makes it so the high power drain accessories only get power when the engine is running essentially connects that prong of the relay to ground when there’s oil pressure. If you instead connect that prong of the relay to a steady ground, then you’ll have power to...

I’ve also recently seen hard-sided panels used to make four season campers that pop up rather than using canvas or nylon which is thinner and colder

My thoughts along that line would be to cover the existing roof in plastic (use vacuum to suck it tight to the body) and then lay fibreglass overtop. With a little careful planning a pop-top roof could be built that would fit tight to the existing roof. The increase in height could be less than...
