    Helper Spring Stoppers

    Yes they do improve ride. The OE bump stops are way too hard. Search on Aeon Rubbers, there’s a long thread on here about which ones to use in FG’s. Timbrens fit chart was incorrect when I bought mine.

    Use of Memory Clear and Diag Check for ECU Errors instead of MUT/OBD

    That would be good news. What was it that made you suspect it was related to the timing chain? It’s not clear to me how a loose timing chain would effect timing. Isn’t the timing controlled by the tooth placement of the chain which would remain the same whether or not the chain was tight or loose?

    FG's in Action

    Thanks. I will. We've been at the confluence of the Price and the Green, on the Green river a number of times. I'd like to get a different look at the same area.

    FG's in Action

    Very nice video of a great trip. Where did you start? Is that an old uranium mining road? How long did you spend out there? Where did you get your springs done and how much did it cost? I might consider that although the Aeon rubbers improved our ride considerably.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    My P12000 is a 2006 and has the pre-computer fan which Dickinson has since updated to the computer fan which they say is quieter. Has anyone swapped these and compared the air flow. I found the same computer fan Dickinson uses for $8 but when I powered it up, it didn’t seem as powerful as the...

    Heaters: Comparative data

    I've installed the P12000. I don't have exact data yet but I've had it on in 20 degree weather. It is a quantum leap above a Wave 3 and with the blower running it pushes a lot of hot air, I'd say approaching the power of the OE forced air furnace when on high. My impression is that we are...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Got about 14” of snow overnight and our chimney is on the roof and was completely covered so I decided to conduct an experiment: would the heater run? No. I ran it on high for about 15 or 20 minutes with the door slightly ajar until the snow melted enough for combustion air to get down the...

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Looking at the parts diagram, the high heat sensor does not appear to be connected to the gas valve. I wonder what it does? Automatically turn on the blower fan? I don’t see how it could cut off the gas.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    I looked up the current manual online which contains the ‘required fan use’ statement. The parts list in that manual does not list a high heat sensor, nor does the troubleshooting section mention it. http://dickinsonmarine.com/Manuals/Propane%20Heater%20P9P12%20Manual.pdf

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Interesting. Mine is a 2006 P 12000 model and that paragraph saying the fan is required is not in the instructions. And , in the troubleshooting section under ‘flame goes out’ there is no mention of a high heat sensor. There is no parts diagram with my instructions.

    The instruction manual for the heater does not mention such a safety device and explicitly states that the red glow of the combustion chamber is normal. Something else must be going on.

    Introducing the “NEW” Alu-Cab Canopy Camper

    Just installed a P12000 in our Northstar TS1000. Haven't camped in it yet. Mine is not a permanent installation, it's a pull out to use it when it gets cold installation. Just got electricity hooked up last night. It blows hard. It will definitely spread the heat around. Do you have the...

    Since you bent your own stovepipes, how did you get the smaller one inside the bigger one?
