Looks great. Recovery of these trailers would be real tough with experts like this. Many thanks to Sandcobra and his buddy. pete

Now I see-you have a great path for air here. Its stealthy-I likey. If she gets warm, you could easily add a couple of electric fans on the front. Man-thats going to be a way cool truck. I am going to do a road trip to Arizona to pick up a Mule M274 from another SS member. If you are located on...

Airflow to radiator. There must be a lot of space in front of the radiator to rear of doghouse. If there isnt enough airflow to cool, you could add airflow through the top of doghouse. With a large squarish hole in cab directly above doghouse-and a mesh screen with maybe a discrete scoop on roof...

Sounds like fuel starvation or maybe air. I had a leak on my fuel lines in and around the fuel filter on engine. Check this area and maybe carefully tighten the fittings if you have leaking or drips.

You may not have the system primed. It will not self prime. I wrecked a starter trying to get mine to go after a filter change and check valve clean. What I did to get here going was the following: Open petcock on bottom of fuel filter. Pack rag around fuel filler to form a crude seal-then use...

Cooling. With the large doghouse in front of the radiator, what are you planning for cooling? MK cab and doghouse provides plenty of opportunities here. Pete

Not track but Wet-N-Dry Technologies now called Relco. Welcome! Pete

How far are you from Draughten?

Same vote on check valve in elbow on top of tank. If you had lots of light colored smoke out of the exhaust, may be indicator of fuel starving. Happened on mine. Took the elbow off and found gel like stuff in it that prevented movement of check valve. Simple and fast fix-just take it off and...

Nice looking welds-good job. Pete

Proceeding with the bathroom area. Have aluminum liner on back wall and have pre-fitted all segments. Have a front plate secured that has lip on bottom to keep water from where bath pan meets wall. Have a 3/4" diameter pneumatic eductor that I have tested for evacuating water in bath pan. A...

The trailers that went in GA where not MK17's. They where mostly MK14-simple trailer version for the MK48 FPU. Several MK18A1 units recently went-all where rebuilt 2 hour fresh units. The went really inexpensively. MK18 has a hook for loading a container or large dumpster. They come with a large...

In 2002 I bought a new H1. Had it for four years. Was generally sound with exception of constantly leaking wheel gear boxes. Engine was weak but never broke. A new H! with a DuraMax and Allison would be the cats pajamas.

A3 Wheels with Large tires Here are a few photos of a truck I have recently sold. It had big Michelins mounted on A3 wheels. No rubbing on that either. The larger tires really changes the way they drive-much better. Pete

Fast is a relative term. If you are driving a Trabant in Moscow only to be passed by a Ladda, you would say the Ladda is fast. Pete

I have an A3 with Goodyear 395's on Hemtt wheels. No issues and about 2 inches between them. Have had her loaded down with about 6,000 pounds of steel-no issue.

I had a chev 3500 basic stripped truck. It didnt have arm rest or center jump seat. Picked one up on Ebay for 250 bucks. It was a brand new take out. Had a fold down seat that made into a nice counsel. Flipped it up-nice jump seat with seat belt. Your truck is nice. Would make a sweet camper...

OK-I got it now. Issues on removing of water from shower pan. Cant use gravity-the shower pan gets to high. Pumps-they would run dry and surge on and off-plus, one would need to add a switch to turn pump on. Issues with hairs too. Solution-gravity water from shower pan and sink above into the...

That one looks good and is up and out of the way. Pete

Got the PDFs on the S280. My Craig Systems enclosure matches the S-280C/G. I looked at the serial number on mine. Its simply-2! With a large genset, you could do the whole thing in electrical. Check this HVAC unit out http://www.climaterightair.com/rv-trailer-heating-and-air-conditioning I like...
