    Solar battery and diesel heater location on M1079

    I'm trying to decide where to put the solar battery bank on CARA, my 1998 M1079 A0. I have two Renogy 12v 300Ah batteries and I'm considering adding two more. Those of you that have M1079s, where have you put yours? I'm considering putting my diesel heater where the original heater was. Where...

    CARA has returned

    CARA our 1988 M1079A0 has returned from the fabricators. Now I need to chase down leaks in the original habitat. There will be water on the floor but no water anywhere else. Any hints on how to track down the source of the leaks?

    S280 corner removal

    I’m trying to remove a couple of the corner brackets on an S280 to put on the habitat extension of CARA (1998 M1079). They will be purely cosmetic but I think they will visually help tie the extension to the rest of the habitat. I have all bolts removed but the corner brackets appear to be held...

    M1079 Speedometer

    The speedometer in my 1998 M1079 usually does nothing, sometimes bounces up and down, and even more rarely appears to work. I have highway gears and EcoHubs and was going to replace the speedometer with a GPS speedometer instead of running down the errors and resetting the dip switches. And then...

    M1079 Extension

    I'd like to add an extension to the rear of my 1998 M1079 similar to the one Michael Ladden did on the Drive the Globe M1079. Has anyone else done this? If so, was your frame steel or aluminium? How did you attach it to the M1079 habitat? Is there anything that you would do differently?

    1998 M1079 alignment, mirrors

    The steering wheel on my M1079 has about a 20 degree roataion to it as I drive straight. The truck drives well, just steering wheel rotated. Any suggestions on how to align the monster front end? The mirrors are constantly being blown into different positions rendering them useless. What have...

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    I've seen several pics of cab interiors that have multicam video displays of rear and side views. Given my mirrors tendency to rotate so I get excellent views of my door, does anyone have experience with brands that work well and/or brands to avoid?

    LizardSkin / Tire questions

    We are getting ready to start on our Paradox (1998 M1079) and would love to learn from your experiences. If money was not an issue, would you insulate your cab with LizardSkin or Kilmat? What tire pressure do you run on the highway. I’m going through the every light on CTIS blinks workup.

    M1079 only moves in reverse

    I recently purchased a 1998 BAE Systems M1079 LMTV from GP. I had it shipped to Texas. After new batteries it started fine. It will go in reverse but not forward. I suspect electrical controller at fault as opposed to needing a new transmission like the mechanic suggested. She only has 1234...
