Sometimes an extra tank is added for thermal mass to reduce the on/off/on cycling time.

All have E load rating

Was looking at the Wildpeak AT3 but when I was out yesterday exploring some campsites ran into a guy with a flat WP AT3. It's the second time. The shale on the FSR is tearing the tires up so he's going back to TOYO Open Country AT III. Said he needs durability more than snow traction. Looking...

Water takes the path of least resistance so there won't be many BTUs making to the HW exchanger. Easiest fix would be to connect the truck (parallel with Webasto) before the cabin heater....but the problem with this is hot water running through the blower in summer (heating the cabin) to make...

I've had bearings (assumed where dropped) out of the package like this. If the cage does bind the rollers then it is OK. If it does then prying the cage up with the screw driver fixes things. What do the rollers look like?

Larger lugs are OK. In fact you could cut the end off and make spade terminals.......but you want to move the bend to the inside edge of the flange so contact from both the terminal and bolt/screw is close as possible to the wire. Bringing the wire in from the sides of the terminal rather than...

Not abandoned or derelict. Found it 1/2 mile off a FSR while hiking up a stream bed and noticed a path leading up from the stream.

Those terminals on the charger look like the start of a problem

Is there an expansion tank and an autovent? If there is only one convector it many not have enough output. Will the truck heat the hot water? The ideal system would isolate the truck loop from the camper loop with a heater exchanger...

Where are the leaks in the hydronic? Possible to get a photo? In our 35' 5th wheel: -our 9500btu (80% efficient??) will maintain 15C inside when it is -5C outside -our 40,000 (rated 60% efficient) Suburban heater will maintain 15C inside when it is -20C outside ........ so a 2Kw (6800BTU or...

The Silky 650 I've been using is great for hiking but on my last FSR trip in the truck it took 5 hours to clear a mile of road. Five hours the next day I only made it a 1/2 mile more. By the time I reached a stream that needed rocks stacked up to get the truck across I had enough. Just bought...

You may find yourself locked in when condensation between the alum frame and door joins together. It best to scrap off what you can.

I prefer hydronic over forced air. What kind of issues does/did your system have? If that's a metal fuel can it will be thinner (like 5gal Briggs and Stratton) than plasic tanks.....but......cheap metal cans aren't coated inside so they rust out if fuel is left in them. I use (before moving to...

Here an option to the hose. Easier to work with vs PEX but not cheaper http://www.easyflexusa.com/csst_piping_water.php Here's a couple of auto vents The Hoffman vents need to go in a dry location as they use a tiny disc that drys out to vent air...

Thumbs up for winter. Air dams + snow + off road don't mix well and make it difficult to get something from under the truck...especially shoveling snow. Our water system is good down to -20C but once we are done I blow out the lines out then add windshield fluid to the traps. It's faster for...

Agree.....Shore power plugs are a leading cause of fires just like propane tanks stored in enclosed spaces are a leading cause of explosions...we see 1-2 a year here that go off that people have in their car.

That's a nice install but..... An air filter will prevent road dust from contaminating the burner. Hose doesn't have an oxygen barrier vs. PEX made for hydronic does. Make sure to run glycol/water mix A cushoin clamp for the pump will reduce noise. Might consider adding vents at the top of...

Data will be removed to maintain/reduce file size and trails, roads and sites are removed so they don't need to be maintained. The 680 I have uses GPS & GLONASS. On an up and back hike along the same path there is 15-40' difference (setting are high) between the 2 tracks. When stationary for a...

Do you know what GVW is?

I'll make bulkhead fittings using a plastic pipe (1/2" -2" x 2" - 6" depending on wall thickness and what is being passed through) nipple and drill and tap (NPT) plastic (ABS/HDPE/PVC) 1/4" x 1 1 /2" to 3" diameter sheet/plate (imagine a floor flange that is flat on both sides) to go on the...
