    Lifting and jacking?

    We have Bigfoot Leveling on our trailer.....it's also on board jacking. The cyl rods are oversize unlike many RV leveling sys. http://www.thebigfootleveler.com/ford-e-350.html

    We don't usually drink whole milk. Making 5 liters with 1 pack suits our tastes.

    Ditch crossing

    Didn't want to get into detail / specifics. I'm looking for time saving methods. One method was to use shorter 1'-2' pcs to fill the bottom and then 1-2 layer of 6'-10' pcs on the top.

    Ditch crossing

    Was out hiking some old FSR roads and found some sites that haven't been use in a few years. Looks like all that has gone in there is a snowmobile as there some blowdown and 2-3yo Brich growing on the road. Will have to get a truck an 35' trailer across 2 ditches. Departure angle on the...

    Diesel Jerry cans

    I have 9 of the Spectre #03711 ( almost 6gal ea) cans and carry a couple of the EZ Pour nozzle around. The EZ Pour double the pour rate. Lost one empty can when a bunji cord wasn't tight enough and it bounced out on a FSR. I ordered the cans few years ago through a marine supply store and they...

    Ford Transit Cab Chassis with Composite Camper

    Don't know why Phillips is still used. I've read that before torque drivers they were used to prevent overtightening. These are what I almost use exclisivly now. https://www.grkfasteners.com/

    2 is better then 1+1?

    60A and 120A T Tocas from Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/Tocas-Circuit-Breaker-Trolling-Waterproof/dp/B01F76VJKQ Testing was running a load up on the inveter until the breaker tripped. Rough yes but the breaker protects the wire and breaker/ wire is sized 120% of the load.

    2 is better then 1+1?

    I thought the same until I saw $20 breakers with hundreds of 5 star reviews so I've tested/installed a few. I'm not seeing reports/reviews of fires but if there are the human factor would take top 5 on the list of faults. Seen larger fuses in lower amp circuits more than I can remember...

    BSS 285 (medium duty) Series are economically priced 50 miless nowhere a breaker is worth hundreds once the fuses run out.

    Outside (on roof rack) 12VDC power bus?

    I thought you were going to use smaller (like 14ga that is solid) UF-B on the rack for distrubution wiring.

    Outside (on roof rack) 12VDC power bus?

    . DC equipment uses a different connection system that makes the use of solid wire more difficult......something to look at beforehand.

    2 is better then 1+1?

    Also important the device be rated for DC. AC devices can be used but it is important the mechanical time is taken into account. If there's a budget then cost needs to be matched to the purpose. Blue Seah makes cheaper and expensive products. I've never seen a switching breaker that was mfg by...

    Outside (on roof rack) 12VDC power bus?

    How will you switch things? I've never had a waterproof enclosure that is corrosion/condensation proof so I make individual runs with 2 conductor tinned wire. Outside jacket on the wire will provide better protection An enclosure that has to be opened in the rain/snow to access...

    2 is better then 1+1?

    A breaker/fuse protects the wire. In A the wire would be sized for 100A In B the wire from the junction point of the 2 batteries to the controller/alternator/dist panel would be sized for 200A unless a 3rd breaker is used. My system has 4 -12V (2x6V) banks each with a disconnect and...
