    Commercial Transfer Switch questions

    The box that you have will only allow you to power 10 circuits with your generator. The best installation is to install a transfer switch between your meter and the panel. This requires the use of a divorced meter pan. Reliance controls makes a lot of panels and has the manuals on line. My...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    Look in the classifieds for the cost of a 5 ton. As far as the sleeper goes I have seen nice 60" shells with fair interiors go for about $750. I know where there is a railroad crew compartment that is for sale. Insulation is not that expensive. The expensive part is adding the ac but you...

    Can I turn an M35 into a family hauling, 5th wheel camper towing rig for under $12K?

    The 4 people fit into what is basically a 36" sleeper but you could use a larger sleeper shell as the base and increase the capacity. As far as the ac goes the truck has a cummins engine in it so the compressor brackets should not be to hard to locate. Once the ac and heat have been added...

    installed air ride seats in my deuce

    The low profile air ride seat base is commonly found in the larger medium duty trucks. Some of the bases have a hand pump so that they can be used on a truck without air brakes but you can remove the pump and add a valve to tap into the trucks air system.

    Changing from DOT 3 to DOT 5

    It needs to be cleaned out. You might get lucky that it is only in the master cylinder but most of the time some has migrated throughout the entire brake system. The best solution is a complete brake job and clean or replace everything including the air pack.

    You need to learn how to read the road. Paying attention to the cracks and tar sealer will give you an indication as to the road condition.

    They do clunk What truck and trailer? Depending on the combination either the pintle hook or lunette is supposed to pivot. Typically on 1/4 ton trailers the lunette pivots. On larger trailers the pintle hook pivots.

    Curt receiver hitch for the Deuce, 18,000lb/1,800lb

    Did that price include shipping? A piece of 2" receiver tube makes a great adapter. As far as the lights go you can make or buy a voltage reducer or convert the trailers to omni voltage LED's.
