I have a 12V circuit going to my 7 pin RV trailer plug (30 amp fused), but that's the only thing there. I do have my dash camera hardwired to the batteries, bypassing the battery disconnect completely, but it doesn't ground anywhere in the truck so a non-issue.

I have a 4 speed truck with a couple additional 12V loads. Doing just a positive disconnect it won't kill those loads. The other downside I see with this is if the cable gets damaged or something shorts out in the switch then you'll have the positive cable going to ground. Not a likely...

It does that for me as well. I can only assume there is some stored power in a capacitor or something that doesn't drain away very quickly until a load is applied.

Here is the comparison between the two gen types. The Generac you'd hear run during it's test cycle every week/2 weeks/monthly (however you have it set up) it would come on automatically when needed, transfer automatically, etc. The fuel supply is much harder to refill in case of emergency...

for the 17k on that size tank, it really depends on how the tank is installed and how cold it gets where you are. Propane turns to vapor inside the tank, then that vapor is what's drawn off to be burned. If the propane level is low or the temp is too low, then the propane might not be able to...

none of these should be very high amperage. My understanding of gauges and senders is voltage flows through the sender, and the gauge just measures how much voltage drop there is due to resistance, and shows it as an easy to identify value. I could be wrong, but last time I looked at mine the...

looks kind of like one of these AN/TPQ-36(V)7 Firefinder Radar the one above is m103 chassis from the look of it, but they put them on the m116 as well. Though that trailer might be from an earlier version of it, as the info I see mostly says it was the M116A2E1 chassis

24V nominal. just like civi vehicles are mostly 12V nominal.

For those three wires one is ground, one is live, and one is a switched ground. They should have 12V power to them. Going by wire number (which you won't have, but Generac always does the same numbers) Wire 0 is ground. Wire 15B is 12V, and should always have power. Wire 23 is the switched...

This type does NOT switch neutrals. It's basic operation is 2 double pole breakers directly across from each other in the panel next to the rotary switch. Power is fed to the lower portion of the panel through those breakers, with only one breaker being engaged at a time.

So to answer the most recent few posts, I just want to ask for clarification. When you say you "have the neutral taped off" do you mean the neutral wire going from generator to breaker panel, or do you mean the wire/bar between the neutral lug and the ground lug? If the one between neutral...

so my mistake. It actually says "4 lbs MAX OPERATING CHARGE" not that it's actually supposed to be 4 lbs.

My evaporator says on it 4.0 lbs, was a 2 man cab.

Install all complete and fully functional. Not the cleanest of installs. I have little interest at this time of pulling frame rails and running hard lines, so it's hoses all the sway, and one got a little close to the exhaust so the outer layer is melted a little. I also never actually...

I played chase vehicle just in case any of the other trucks on our drive broke down. None of them did on a 140 mile loop we drove, including a couple thousand feet of elevation change. This is the halfway point of the convoy, in front of the little church in Elbe, WA. A couple WWII jeeps, one...

I don't know how much amperage goes through it, but the failure rate seems excessively high for what's basically a very simple switch. I don't know whether the ones made in China (which it seems pretty much all of them are) just suffer from poor materials or craftsmanship, or they just can't...

Sorry no pictures, but I was driving at the time. Got passed by 8-10 HMMWVs, each with a single soldier in them driving. All appeared to be brand new, none of them had a top or doors, but had a long box strapped to the rear area that looked to be the right size for a 4 man soft top. A less...

at minimum batteries need hooked up to tender, but even better would be remove them and store them in a heated garage so they have no chance of freezing.

Right, so another update to my original order. Today I received a UPS package for the right side mirror assembly. Only issue with this is I received my order for a right hand mirror assembly over a week ago. It appears they shipped me a second on. I sent Greg Proven (the guy who originally...

To touch on this, I was just as someone's house a couple weeks ago with one of these trailers he towed with a 5 ton. He showed me the tire that had been on the front corner that had tread chunks ripped out from coming into contact with the 5 ton. His solution to that was to have a longer...
