    Cause of battery drain

    Since I have two 12v I quess I will need 4 - 6volt? I have heard people talk about these in past, I'll see if they fit on battery slide out. I like this idea. I really have almost no time before Overland East, but a couple hundred spent to allow me time to research and get to right answer...

    Driving in Sand

    This is under appreciated idea. I took a one-on-one 2 day class using my Jeep WK2 with one of these certified instructors. I was always concernned about pushing my Grand Cherokee too far since I travel alone off beaten-path. In the class we spend several class hours going over Jeeps 4x4 systems...

    Cause of battery drain

    On a two battery bank systen, can I check amp draw by just taking positive off one battery, or do I need to disconnect both terminals from second battery to get correct reading?

    I just checked on rig and with engine off, voltage on meter and at each battery tested with multi-meter was 11.7.

    Cause of battery drain

    Thanks luthj, I am in beginning of learning about battery/electronics/solar and planning to upgrade solar plus other components. I do not think they are real deep cycle batteries. Last month I had local RV place test batteries, their testing included: Battery System Check: Includes inspection...

    Chinook Concourse vs Tiger bengal

    Tigers are really nice, I toured factory and came close to buying sweet used one on their lot. They stopped making the Chinooks in 2005, but I ended up buying a 2001 Chinook Concourse and have it lift with 32" tires, its great but 2WD. I lifted due to necessity of exit/entrance angle increases...

    Help on rear lift on E350 RV??

    I agree, bigger would be better but I would have needed 6" lift plus other modifications since this is dually. It all about compromises so I think I hit good middle ground. I am on east coast and it was really better ground clearance I was looking for, and with this set up I think I will be...

    Adventure Tool Company's (ATC) 4wd Provan Tiger adventures

    That's funny, I wanted Tiger and was at Provans place twice this summer, however I decided to put the Tiger on hold until I retire since I really wouldn't use it often at its full potential here on east coast, so didn't want to tie up the money with little use. The Chinook was way cheaper and I...

    Help on rear lift on E350 RV??

    Turns out Rig was not 3” off as thought. Due to tight placement I couldn’t see lines and only went with measurements which were not accurate. Here is pic of van almost done, plus pre-lift/tires pic. Just a few punch items and alignment left. Looks so much better than old
