AAAnnnd I just realized this was for lithium, correct? if so, my question probably doesn't stand for standard batteries..... Oops...

Very interesting, thanks for your response. I feel like I've heard this now on a different thread I made months ago. Anywhoo...I dont consider freezing (0 C or 32F for us Americans :ROFLMAO:) to be very 'cold'. If this in fact be the case, then I would think most batteries wouldn't last a...

I'm curious what the definition of 'cold' is... and at what point one would want heat pads for batteries to warm them up, or a fan to cool them off

This is very interesting and one thing that I have thought about for many years even when I used to work for Ford way back in the day. Naturally, many critical components are 'shielded' but to what point? If computer circuits come packaged in static electric bags, then how vulnerable are other...

Really hope you find a good solid buyer who will take care of this, and appreciate it without just beating it up. Awesome truck!! If only I had free cash

Curious, gas or diesel?

I remember seeing some discussions a few years ago, but not quite sure where they went. Curious about others who have converted from drum to disc brakes on sterling 10.25 axles and what the end result (performance) was. Worth it, or no? I'm getting tired of having my drums just not working...

Well, I can say I've had that combo in some pretty darn tight spots already. Places most wouldnt' want to go with just a normal truck... So, that doesn't really scare me much, just gotta be cautious and slow. But, as you said for comfort sake and manuvering, I think that if one were to build...

Yeah making sure you have all the right little parts is pretty important! I've done that back and forth game many times before with other projects. Sometimes hard to prevent, but I agree, identifying things as much as possible before hand is good. Also the window idea is great. I've made the...

So from all the research I have done, I generally understand the following to be correct: IF the trailer axle width matches your tow vehicle, and the trailer center axle to hitch length matches the tow vehicle wheelbase, THEN in theory the trailer will follow in the tracks of the tow vehicle...

Starting (I think) to enter the final phases of custom trailer planning/design with the many sketches/ideas I have thought of over the last 2 years. The general idea will be building my own trailer from a cargo trailer, but not quite what most would see on google searches. This will not only...

so much truth and sadness here. i have this discussion wth my neighbor nearly daily, well, when i'm home anyway. but the same goes for a log of us industrial stuff as a whole, not just trailers. and just normal daily service as well. maybe thats stepping out a bit far, but quality...

ooo can you PM me some details?? don't want to highjack this thread.

I totally understand your dilema!!! I'm there now and have been for the last 2 years. So heres my specific experience if it may help you any... I have a cheapie trailer - 2011 Springdale 179QB. About the only good thing about it was the price, the condition upon purchase (used) and the...

Actually, a propane fridge will run 'off grid' for a long time. It still requires a 12v source to run the circuit board, but pulls very very little power since it is using propane for a heat source, in relation to a 12v compressor fridge - my trailer's propane I think pulls only 2a on gas, but...

I think your asking too much. As I have found out myself. I suppose it depends on if your fridge stays on all the time, and if you have abilities to plug into a shore power somewhere or not. So my RV fridge is a POS. So I ended up getting a snowmaster LP67 (66 maybe?). Anyway, I 'tested' it...

What an awesome perspective!!!

My ideas/needs thus far (i know it's missing things, not a full and correct write-up) - attached

Hmm...so many ways. maybe i should make a 'coms connection' panel where all the coms cables have a connection spot on, say, a 4" x 4" alum panel, then do a cut out of the truck body, and attach the panel, that way it's also modular in the future if something needs to be added or changed? It...
