Had a few hours to spend on the truck this weekend. Managed to get the Beta version of the fridge and freezer slides installed. Not happy with the freezer slide. As the freezer is only opened once a day I tried to use the 500 lb slides horizontally. Definitely too much flex that way for a...

Onboard engine driven compressor to run the air brakes and more importantly the air horns.

Do t need an engine just the diesel water heater. You could use a smaller Webasco heater and cover both hot water and heating but being a trailer there is not much advantage in single fuel source. I have figured out a few uses for the Scuba holes. One already has my 110v outlet and will...

Yes that’s what they are. Basically a little radiator with a computer fan or 2. Glycol is used in the heating circuits. I would of liked to go with floor heating but don’t want to lose the 3/4” that it would take. I will let you know about the scuba tank holders. Hoping to keep them in place...

Thin nut on the bottom slid into the slot. Washer and a locknut on top and shortened the eye bolt so there was not as much leverage. I just ran the locknut up along the thread then put a fender washer on with the thin nut at the very end of the eye bolt. Slide the thin nut into the slot, hold...

Yeah don’t expect to be bombarded with photos. I think I average 1 every 6 weeks. Ok just checked the old photos. It is a Hydra-Hot HHE-200-08E Picked it up as part of a package deal with the diesel generator. Had .8 hours on the clock and never installed. If you are getting one check with me...

Along with USB outlets to make sure the iPad doesn’t go dead.

Yep already covered both of those. We will have the Oxygenics handheld as well as the “rain”. We will have low point drains on all lines. Also looking at making a version of the diversion valve to circulate hot water back to the water tank like someone posted somewhere on here. Also looking at...

I used them with eye bolts to haul a motorcycle a few hundred miles one time. It was one of those too good to resist deals.

I did the remove the solenoid on #3 in an emergency on one of my vans/ambos. I had buzz tested it before and after. Definitely was a bit duller buzz after replacing it. But with the 120 we were having in Phoenix at the time I couldn’t bring myself to crawl around on the concrete pulling engine...

Tested out the flat type shower head with a 2.8 gpm pump (smaller than what we will install). Seems to work OK. Now to see how I can make the pipe work fit in the cavity above the thunder box. And as a bonus we found an ideal mural for our rig.

I dream of getting 11mpg let alone 13.

So did I sort of. I got the adapter from biological systems to the sewer. [emoji1]

Presents arrived. I have never been this excited about seeing toilets since the river boat journey in Borneo when I had food poisoning.

Yes on the Expo West. I have been to everyone. Thinking I must be pretty thick to need all that edumacation. We will be running some DIY classes in the “DIY” area this year. Keep an eye out for them and drop by and say g’day. Look for the boxing kangaroo flag.

The next part of the evolution is underway. While the wife did the backsplash in our minute kitchen alcove I installed the thematic mixer and cleaned up the area above the sink. ( had to have it apart for the missus to do her work anyway. But what I am really supposed to be working on is...

We ended up talking to Larry the owner of Nature’s Head and ordering directly from there. Since they all seem to be drop shipped from the factory anyway. Nice guy to talk to and interested in what we are fitting them in.

Sadly no new engine. Just there for a couple of meetings and a tour of the facility.

Somedays I love my job. Only problem was they didn’t give samples. Cummins engine plant in Jamestown NY.

I have had to replace the turn signal switch in 2 out of 3 of our Freightliners.luckily they are relatively cheap. But it was for the wipers on the later truck not indicators.
