Yes. There is a single bolt on the bottom of heater that allows it to "un-clip" from mount.

No release function.

Pictures of the Accurides installed. A set of electric actuators will control the motion of this.

The model name is al420. Go to their website to see the different lengths and full dimensions. They durable and operable if even dirty.

Mounting on their sides. If flat mounting, the load rating goes down to about 450 pounds.

I recently took delivery of two Accuride 1300 pound capacity slides-super heavy duty. I am building a slide out platform and steps. The slides look well made.

Thank you so much for these links. The vent from Supply House is exactly what I am looking for. Thanks again. Pete

I have yet to install intake and exhaust. I am using a pre-packaged RIXENS system that includes the hoses for this set up. They look like automotive heater hoses. I am using ABA clamps that have nice rolled edges (not installed yet). The portion of this system will be at a higher level than the...

I have chosen to mount this outside in a lower box for safety reasons. The location also makes it easy to access should there be any problems. The box is constructed of aluminum. I have pipe couplings welded into the back plate of box for barbed fittings in and out. To eliminate any galvanic...

I switched from a 1016 Ram diesel to a 2019 F550 with V10. I have a cab over camper mounted to the chassis. My fuel mileage on the Ram was not much better than 12 MPG. My Ford with V10 is showing between 9 and 10 MPG (it has manual lock outs on front end). The biggest difference is in the...

Saw this at a car show in Naples last week. Thought a few driveline photos would be interesting. The portal axels are Humber sized with aGerman twist. Note how power is transferred to rear axel. They were asking over 900k for this used vehicle.

I own an Oshkosh MK48 with is similar to an M978. Main difference is the MK articulates in the middle. These machines are massive, fuel hunger (2 MPG), loud (much of engine is in the passenger compartment). Even with 8-wheel drive and lockers on all four axels, they can get stuck. If you run...

I built an aluminum shield that consisted of several panels that bolt together. The panels being 18" tall with slight bend outward. The bottom folded up to form a "pool". Set the panels up around my van. Added water in the pool sections-then peed into the mix. %100 effective in a mice super...

Minnesota guy here-frost will show up on inside of camper on every bolt. Minus 20 degrees F for a few days in a row will test cabin thermal integrity. If one can eliminate a path for cold to flow, its a good idea.

Extruded 8"-look at the lighter ones, would also be very strong. I would not splice with plates and rivets. If you are building something 20 foot long, it seems extrusions would be better.

Its difficult to find extrusions this large in cross section. A shop will use a press brake to form the toes. The longest piece of sheet that aluminum comes in is 12 foot. Go to a fabrication shop-not a welding shop. The beauty of using formed pieces is the freedom of making any shape. Given...

In the metal fabrication world, many materials are "formed". For example, a channel shape can be made by extruding aluminum through a die. However, there is a lot of excess materials in an extruded channel which makes it very heavy. While an extruded channel may be well suited for structural...

I used piano hinged on a set of aluminum cabinets I have built. The frame was 80-20 radiuses profiles. You could use piano hinges if you simply add a small aluminum angle to the backside of your plywood fronts. Could even add-glue a strip of wood to back side. Both methods will provide a way to...

Those countersunk screws will transfer cold to interior. They can act as a bridge. Metal has no insulation value and will transfer cold. When the cold hits the head of screw where it will be warmer, condensation can result. You could try using fiberglass fasteners (Mcmaster Carr). If you use...

formed!
