Thanks Fly. Ya, the Kings were supposed to be ready quite a while ago then shipped straight to Saskatoon. Unfortunately they were late then ended up shipping them to IA instead. I had to get the truck delivered over to ITB so we went with some other shocks temporarily. We will put the Kings...

This is a VERY capable very nice rig if anyone is interested. Roger has done a very nice job putting this together and I am now looking forward to see what is next for him. Ward

Will do. My parents live in Medicine Hat so that is the starting point for many of our trips. We stay in Medicine Hat overnight, stock the fridge with Mom's baking, then head out. It's a common theme for us. We would love to find some Alberta back roads to travel and personal experience is...

Random camping on the southern portion of the Forestry Trunk Road in south western Alberta. The large RVs couldn't get on to this side of the meadow so we had it all to ourselves. Ward

It was like driving a new 1/2 ton with the suspension changed. The only rough patch was when I went across a set of railroad tracks, then it reminded me what I was driving. Other than that a very smooth 7 hour drive. Ward

A little progress to report. Air suspension is finished and we dropped the truck off to have the camper installed. Ward

Thanks for the info. I asked the builder about parasitic draw and possibly using a large inverter to run the major items and a small inverter to run the phone chargers, lights, fans etc. It is a Samlex Evo 3012. His reply "This new series of high efficient inverters have a power save...

It is a 2015 Samsung 32" HD Smart TV. The 28" is 22W, the 32" says it's 80W. Could the fact that it is a smart TV mean it has more things going on inside than a simple TV? Ward

We are building an RV to live in for a few months at a time. As such we are equipping it with a television. We will be running on dual 220 Amp alternators and solar panels to 870 AH battery bank. Is there any reason to be concerned about the draw on our battery bank of a television that draws...

Exactly what I thought. Thanks again!! Ward

Thanks!! I will look in to this one. Did you use a 3" or 1.5"? Ward

Does anyone have a suggestion for an electric dump valve for the grey water tank? All that I have seen are 3" valves and I cannot fathom needing a 3" dump hose for a grey water tank. I could be wrong though. Suggestions? Ward

Sure thing Pappa. The aluminum frame is done now. As for the truck, the air system should be done this afternoon or Monday. Just waiting for the shocks from King still but hopefully they will be here by mid next week. Ward

It never is Michel :) I corrected it as per your post. Ward

Drivers side air suspension being installed Ward

Thanks! I must say that I am relieved that we chose a Canadian builder with the drop in the value of the Canadian dollar lately. If we had gone with an American builder our cost would have gone up about 20-25% just based on the dollar value. The frame is finished and it headed over for walls...

I will have to ask them about that. Ward

Perfect. Does powder coating have advantages over paint in a shower situation? Ward
