Only propane tanks I've seen inside a vehicle are on a metal screen that allows the propane (heavier than air) to escape.

According their the video they do allot to reduce torsion?

In theory yes but the frames still flex. Advanced RV know this so they do a ton of work to reinforce the cab and box to resist torsion. It is important people know this so people can choose between a vehicle that's made to go off the pavement vs. off road and how they use a hydraulic leveling...

Don't need? What makes the chassis more rigid than other chassis?

There are large radii fiberglass components and aluminum extrusions made to use with plywood as well as slotted panels made for curves and it could be laminated after steaming some 1/8" door skin.

Great idea and an excellent design!

I went back to the rope shop and got some pictures. From what I understand they were buying from another mfg. that hasn't failed but their biggest customer wanted everything from the same mfg. That's where things started coming apart :) USB cord is for size relation It's an eye slice with...

BMS in the EG4 over 200A (or 400A X 2) load cuts out after 10 seconds and takes 60 seconds to reset.

Working on getting pictures.

I've noticed 3 types of soft shackles Without tags Tags with breaking strength Tags with WLL and breaking strength I don't think tags are a benifit for soft shackles given use/abuse is huge factor and 99.99% of the time the loads for vehicle recovery are a unknow.

They were bought as Dynneema soft shackles. There was no tag but they were from a well know brand. No Brummel and from what I could tell it didn't look like the tail of the spice wasn't locked in either. I've had Brummel spices in Dynnema creep by leaving steel shackles hanging from the eye...

Maybe......I had the splice pull out of a 5/8" then a 3/4". I took them to a rope shop to see it they can be repaired. They said it happens allot (Edit...on the larger diameter ropes) and showed me a 1" that had come apart. They repair/lock the spices with Dyneema thread crossing through the...

Dealers get hundreds of RVs that need repair but dealers don't do the work until the manufacture pays for it. Manufactures don't want dealers doing unnecessary work so they won't pay for the work until there's a list of repairs from the buyer. The worst RVs are bypassed by one buyer after...

Wh‐ In 2009 when Chev and Dodge were struggling Ford was copying the Japaneses system and making the dealers return warranty parts so they could learn how to make it cheaper and better. That's been showing benefits for the last few years. What's getting to FORD is strung out product line...

At 11:00pm after getting stuck in the snow ( won't use Wildpeaks next year) for an hour the Alder laying next to the road didn't seem heavy.:) Might be worth considering a diesel hydronic so you can run 10mm PEX under the tanks/valves before insulating......or you could make a copper sprial to...

That's perfect. It was 3C overnight and the 2800 was running 50% of the time with the inside at the 15C heating a 35' box with 3 slides that are anything but air sealed. First time I've cooked soaking wet Alder. Ebay blower help (but noisy) to get it going.

It comes down to the air flow through the heat exchanger. The max efficiency of a RV furnace is 60%. Flexible ducting, not enough outlets and outlets that blow warm air into the retun air drops the efficiency even more. The small fan in the Propex means it most efficient when there just...

Be OK if it was on a crew cab.....

I'e be more worried about the panel being conductive vs. flammable.

Wood is great material but on the flip side it's depressing when 50% of what I drive/hike through has been cut in the last 20 years.
