    M939 CTIS Pneumatic Controller

    Good Evening, I've successfully had my CTIS working for 4 years....until today. I've been through leaks, faults, and dust and today it bit me. I had a handle-mount break in the winch control pedestal. Right before pulling it off, I started the truck and got 5 lights. Trying to override and...

    MEP 831A Exhaust Size

    True. I think I'll plan to set this up with a pipe welded to brackets external to the generator, a 1 1/2" pipe, and a 1 1/4" reducer for hookup via rubber exhaust hose to the generator itself.

    MEP 831A Exhaust Size

    Hmmm. I was thinking about welding a union on it and then threading either 1.5” or 1.25” pipe the 4 1/2’ to get it above the roofline of my camper build. Any recommendations? I wonder if the 1.5” pipe would help cut down on noise. I haven’t actually seen/run mine yet but I’m compiling parts to...

    MEP 831A Exhaust Size

    Anyone know off the top of their head what size the MEP-831A's exhaust size is? I'm not at home right not but looking at a possible exhaust cap I could put on a pipe for it...and I'd like to get the exhaust up and above head level.

    MEP-831A Remote Start/Stop

    Has anyone ever tried to put a remote start setup on this- or install an aux (remote) start/stop switch or panel? I would imagine a secondary switch could be spliced into the existing panel- but thinking if this generator was mounted outside of a building or trailer but the start/stop was...

    Ini Power Remote/Auto Start

    Has anyone ever tried playing with INI Power IG1000-ASKR-USMC Remote Start Kit Or does anyone know anything about them or have a manual? I haven't found much of anything but think they might be fun to take apart and see if they can be tweaked to work with other stuff. Thanks!

    MFX 2705 Shower Conversion Ideas

    Anyone ever pulled one of these apart? I'm thinking about getting one from another member on here to use for the hot water in my camper build, but I had a few ideas about it. 1. Was wondering if the shower water is going directly through the heater or if there's a heat exchanger in there with...

    Samlex Inverters- quality?

    Anyone use any Samlex inverters? I've got a heck of a deal on an Outback unit but I really like the dual AC input feature of the EVO series Samlex..... There's not a lot online for reviews and such...I understand that outback is supposed to be top of the line and this offer gives me an outback...

    Southwind Heater or Benmar Heater (48 hours to answer)

    Good Morning, I've already posted a similar thread in the 5 ton forums but due to the time constraints of an offer I have and the increased traffic on this forum, I'm posting again... Given the option, which is a more reliable heater, a Southwind 939J24 or Benmar 3050? I have an offer to get...

    Benmar vs Southwind (Only 48 hours to answer)

    Good Afternoon, I've been talking to a few of you but came across another idea today There's a NOS Southwind 939J24 available to me for $150....it's a stainless tank and has a circulation pump. I found a Benmar CP-3050 that can be had for about $350.... I'd like to plumb a diesel-fired hot...

    Inverter Preferences (Schneider or Samlex)

    Samlex is made overseas...they have an impressive instruction manual (I know, I know, who reads those anymore) that instills some confidence and the price is comparable to schneider and magnasine/magnums with just a few more features (like a dual ac input transfer switch) but I don't know anyone...

    Coolant Heater Diesel Fired M939 and others

    Hmmm....Do you think the unit is repairable/maintainable? I'm so on the edge of buying one but again, just waiting to hear from gimpyrobb- but the issue I have with much of the new stuff is the inability to fix it. I was told by a tech that the SW is fine until it's not, and then it's a lot of...

    Coolant Heater Diesel Fired M939 and others

    @CoachGeo Why did you choose this heater versus something newer/more modern? How did you controls end up working out? Thinking about doing the same and I have a good deal lined up on a NOS unit ($150 before shipping) but I've been torn...waiting to hear back if it has a circulation pump (it's...

    Mbu v3

    Ahh ok. That's what I wanted to know- the indoor part. The camper I'm building has 24v service and 110 via genset and inverter. It's the stove part that I wasn't sure about. Thanks for the info guys! (size hadn't completely scared me away yet because I was thinking of cutting the frames up and...

    Mbu v3

    That makes sense, thinking about it. No, I don't own one of these yet. I was thinking about purchasing two of them to use as a stove top (with some modifications for aesthetics and mounting) in my camper....
