    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Corroded 6 pin

    If the camper stays on the truck most of the time, just hard wire it. Mine is connected with crimped butt splices, then soldered and covered with two layers of heat shrink tubing. It really is not difficult to do if you can solder. No possibility of corrosion and the resulting voltage drop.

    I always wondered who the model was for those signs.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West What's a good size alternator?

    These have a very good reputation in the diesel world. http://www.dbelectrical.com/ An important spec to consider is how much the alt. puts out at idle vs running speed. I would suggest something in the 140-160A range. You might check ebay.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Battery Separator -

    You need to find out if there is any voltage drop across the separator. If so, then you would not want to use both. I would recommend a call to Surepower tech support.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Sliding Window Screen

    It is 1/8" ABS. I ran a bead of silicone around the frame but for the most part the fasteners hold the screen in place. Silicone does not adhere to ABS all that well. You might look for a different adhesive. Mike Since PVC glue is used on ABS drain pipe, I think that would work quite well!

    How are the two pieces of ABS stuck together? PVC glue? Also, what thickness did you use? Thank you!

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ford 7.3 exhaust recommendations?

    I researched the diesel forums and found no complaints with the Diamond Eye. I did the install myself and it was easy, fit very well. Used a sawzall to get the original downpipe out. It is very restrictive. Mine is only started for long trips. Yes, the cat delete is an option and those cats...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Ford 7.3 exhaust recommendations?

    I went with a turbo-back 3" down-pipe into a 4" exhaust from Diamond Eye. It is the aluminumized version purchased here: http://www.dieselpowerproducts.com. Shipping was free which is important as you will get a very big box. Living in the arid southwest, I see no advantage to stainless...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West OT- Electrical help

    On the power supply it will tell you what the output voltage should be. For example it may say: Output 12VDC 800ma. You will need to set your voltmeter to DC volts and put the test probes on the end of the wire. The center pin will be positive and the outer sleeve is negative. If it reads close...

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Black aluminum flatbed?

    They polish the aliminum on those flatbeds? The aluminum comes from the mill already polished. You can get dull, brite, highly polished to a "mirror" finish.

    RV LIFE Forum Hub, Wander The West Black aluminum flatbed?

    Anodize would cost a fortune, it is not cheap. You would have to find a plater with a tank large enough to dunk it in. Powdercoat is much more feasible. Unlimited colors, just spray and bake.

    We just upgraded to the top of the line with remote control. We are very happy with the new fan, but the old one worked great too. Still have the old one???

    Got the details on the mod? I'm handy with a soldering iron seeing as how I have six of them... PS, we are mostly "fair" weather campers.

    I saw a chair at Harbor Fright very similar to the Pico for under $30. Do you have a P/N ? I looked, but didn't find much online.

    If you weigh over 200, don't buy a cheap chair! Fortunately for me, the cheap ones are ok.
