I considered using a hitch ball as the front anchor but that would be more intrusive in the bed when the camper is not on the truck. Since my camper is easily removed (like a slide-in truck camper), I did not want to interfere with that function. Since the trailer had surge brakes, the hitch...

To further you friend’s advice, have you measured 24 volts to the buzzer while it is connected? If there is a high resistance in the circuit, it may show 24 volts until a load (buzzer) is connected. This high resistance would likely be the switch since the installed buzzer works when you jumper...

Alaskan campers are nice but pricey and torsion isolating frames don’t look cheap either. The HiLo was given to me and since I did not cut the frame, I could return it to trailer duty with little effort.

The trailer sits on the bed, on crossmenbers I fabricated. At the front, it is attached mostly in a horizontal direction (slight downward) with turnbuckles to eye-bolts on the bed. Two turnbuckles diagonally or about 45 degrees from the truck centerline are used. This pulls the trailer tongue...

I am not sure about the airstreams in particular but I put a HiLo on my M927. I think the key is to not have the trailer flex with the truck frame. Mine is attached to the bed which is designed to stay relatively flat while the truck flexes. Here is the link to my build...

I made one from a section of 4 inch exhaust pipe with a strong magnet on the bottom. It sticks to the floorboard, fender, seat frame, etc.

Why not have one 12v battery recharged with a converter for those loads. Do what works best for you on the 24v system I have a 12v setup on my deuce but I went with dual alternators for recharge.

Find a local hydraulic hose shop. I had all new lines made up at one local to me. Their fittings were even laser engraved with DOT certification.

Or in place of the vented cap, a remote fluid reservoir.

Due to the stiffness of the suspension , I have not found I need stabilizers. Since my camper has jacks, I could use them if needed. Below is a link to my build so you can see my setup. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vpeds-stretch-m927.213148/

Here is a link to what I did. Food for thought. Truck likes 60 mph. https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/vpeds-stretch-m927.213148/

I have a ladder on my rig that is similar to your drawing. It was an old warehouse roll-around ladder that I cut to suit my needs. The handle rail is removable and stows flat. I adjust for varying campsite heights at the attachment point to the truck. The attachment points consist of two pieces...

Here are shots of the camper interior. In the right rear (behind the diamond plate wall) is the toilet with its own light and exhaust fan. To the left is the wardrobe. the gaucho couch extends out taking up most of the center isle when needed. you can also get a glimpse of the stereo in the...

The dogs are my intruder alarm but I must say, the truck has not rolled away when set up like that.

The trench is due to erosion from water runoff. I will look for pictures of the interior of the camper. Thanks for the interest.

My truck started life as an expandable van truck before being modified by the Army into an extra-long, drop-side bed for service resupplying Patriot missle batteries out on McGregor Range on Ft. Bliss TX. I have added LED offroad lights, rearview camera, comfy seats, H-4 headlights, and a 12...

This is my M927 with HiLo travel trailer.

Wow, just noticed this is a regional thread. Howdy neighbors.

I just solved that same problem on my deuce. It is the low air pressure switch. I removed it, cleaned it and reinstalled. It is two parts threaded together with the switch components within. The problem was that the threaded connection was loose. You may be able to just reach up there with...

I would check the dimmer switch. Power goes from the headlight switch to the dimmer as common to both high and low. The dimmer switch then either directs to power to the high or low circuit to the front of the truck. It could be a bad contact within the switch meaning you need a replacement...
