What is the cost on this?

Spicer, unless you like roll the dice. I have noticed Chinese machining in things like bearings can be horrible. I won't buy Chinese bearings anymore. Got burned on a finish mower with a set. Went out faster than a politician being chased by reporters. I buy Tinkem exclusively now. They have...

Larger diameter tires might get around a resultant 3.40:1? I don't know, just asking.

I think you are right. If traveling to colder climates, a wider viscosity range would help. The cheapest good synthetic unfortunately is Chinese based Sinopec. I have heard good things about the oil, but have philosophical issues with purchasing it. Sinopec is now on the Mercedes list of...

I have 3 axles to drain and fill. Interested in opinions on best bang for buck on 80w90 or similar weight synthetic. What brand do you like to use? Where do you find the best prices.

Many of the MV owners on here were not out of the crib yet when this was filmed :)

Spot on.

I wonder if those funky looking mirrors that a parabolic, mounted to the top of the door, and run parallel to the door would help. I see them in European trucks a lot.

I assumed that...

I paid $2000 for 3 axles. Have not installed yet, so I guess I got a deal.

Could have been worse : )

Honestly, most of the drums come off pretty easily. A gentle tapping of a #20 BFH on the back side is all you need.

Born in 1951?

Fill us in.

I have two lockers, but probably will only use one at my middle axle. Would be interested to hear more or, even better, a video of a lock up "kicking you in the ass" to get an idea of what you are referring to : )

At the higher voltages, be sure to physically separate the wiring of the 2 voltages widely. GFCI and arc fault breakers are typically used. The smaller splits will do 120, but around 18k, you will need 220. Take a look at National Electric Code, particularly the area of bonding vs grounding...

Are you going to just charge the batteries, and/ or invert to 120 or 240 volts?

Bucket of soapy water and long handle pool brush. Been doing solar a very long time. 20 years + not unusual lifespan with slow degradation.
