    Vertical Solar Panels

    You bring up a great point: store it. I have wondered if it would best to enlarge the battery bank capacity rather than the solar recharge capacity. With a correctly designed system a 24v 200a alternator could provide 4,000 watts nominally once the starter batteries are charged. Perhaps...

    Vertical Solar Panels

    One of my non-engineer thoughts was if we are mounting atop our white habitat bi-facial and the height above the ground, not hidden behind a parapet will have good air flow. Still thinking about whether horizontal, angled, vertical makes the most sense. Horizontal would be fixed a set distance...

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    I understand. We posted this here because at first we weren't sure if we had missed a circuit in the IAH system. Maintaining the fuel and oil systems with frequent filter changes and fluid replacement is critical to staying ahead of potential issues. When we owned a number of big yellow...

    Vertical Solar Panels

    This is cool, thank you for sharing. We have talked about mounting the panels on hinges so that we may deploy them based upon what latitude we are at, though vertical would be easier than adjustable angles. The smaller format Over Easy Solar looks to be almost made for RV tops. Looking at...

    M1078A1 cab and chassis electrical upgrades including AC

    We have a few miles on her since pulling out the LBCD and disconnect relays. Everything seems to work except the Inlet Air Heater (IAH). At start up the dash light cycles on and I can hear the solenoid cycle off along with the dash light. Though once started the IAH does not cycle back on...

    LMTV Switch Panel Install

    Very good. We all are dealing with replacing old rubber and cracking electrical, items previous owners did that may not help, and what we wish our vehicles to become. The units with the CAT 3126b typically fall into two groups: before 18,550 and after. Though there are some outliers. In most...
