Check pplmotorhomes.com for the controller circuit. Just go to the website, and select parts superstore, and type Onan in the search box. I have found them to be cheaper on most items I am looking for.

Nice place to do work. Wish I had that available to set the AC on the top of my M146. Where will you mount the fuel tank? Do you also have the control panel to mount on the inside of the trailer? Keep the pictures coming.

Looking good. I did see one of those Onan 4kw generators for sale on craigslist. Are they these generators easy to get parts for, and are they reliable? Will you go directly into a breaker box, or into a inverter? Keep up the great work.

Excellent work on the modules Soni. I like the scorpion on the back of FEMTT.

I think someone may have put the wrong breaker in, or previously used it to power a heater at 208V/220V. Mine has a 20 amp breaker, and I used the standard 110/115/120V plug. Your wires would only support this as well. Due to the size of the cable, I used a 30amp 125 twist lock plug, and then...

Ray, I was think 30 amp when I typed it, but did not make sure that is what I typed. Thanks. I have edited the original post with the correct info. I have already made the adapter for the front military plug, and now will just change out the end to the correct 30amp 125 female end.

AC Unit installed Made a little progress this weekend on the AC. Finished shimming up the brace so the roof section for the AC is higher do help with water drainage away from the AC unit. Also ran the flexible electrical conduit above the ceiling and installed 12 gauge wire to the WFCO Charger...

Thank you. Another use for the M915 :)

It does, but did not know if that would be the same as a civilian RV and if the distance to the back of the frame would be too long. Definitely will need to measure.

Csm Davis, You are absolutely right. I have been watching for one to do just what you are talking about to get parts. Seems like in Phoenix though, there are many RV recyclers/Salvage yards that want them just as much as me. There have been a few 30' 5th wheels for free that needed work. I...

Jakelc15 - I used Visio, but it could easily be done in word.I am still researching what others are using for Solar, and have read some long articles on the mistakes most solar panel installers make on RVs. I think I will by separate components instead of a kit. Probably go with a controller...

I agree Rayzer that these are a must for any RV build. The stand alone is also a great idea too. Thanks Rayzer for adding this additional information. It took me time to research all the options to figure out how to do these requirements to power both AC/DC.

I found this online for $129 on auction. Also www.pplmotorhomes.com sells them and has $9.99 S/H. The one I bought is 55 watts for the DC circuit. You have to by the Circuit breakers separately which are available from Home Depot.

WFCO- WF8955 Convertor/Charger arrived Received my WFCO-8955 Convertor Charge today. Looking forward to installing this and running all my AC/DC power through this and be able to power from Shore power/Generator power and solar power in the near future. This device also charges the battery from...

Camoyj7 - These boxes are excellent for the M146. These are the same ones I used on my build. Are these the 60" or 84" long boxes. I ended narrowing mine so I would have room in the center for the black and grey water tanks. Are you going to build a frame to go around these so you can slide them...

Great question LowTech. The large tube is for gravity water fill, and the other small one on the bottom is for a tank water drain. There will be a forth line on top for the vent, which connects to the gravity water fill housing in picture 3. The drain I will hook up to a spicket on the outside...

Trailer progress 8/16 Working on the Fresh water tank. Decided to put it in side the driver side storage compartment. Have to finish the drain and vent tube tomorrow. Also started to make the bracket for the Dometic 13,500 BTU AC unit to sit on the roof. The bracket will attach to the existing...

Looking forward to seeing your design on the folding stairs for the rear.That would be a great idea instead of having to store the ladder.

Rayzer, I think I may be able to use the hole saw maybe a few more times. But it sure good steel on those cross members. Once I get ready for the water heater, I may have some questions regarding the gas plumbing.

Camoyj7, I think I may do the fiberglass reinforced paneling from Lowes that I used on the walls for the ceiling. It is easy to work with, and secures to the plywood very well with the liquid nail. May then add some cross braces that are cosmetic, and I can use to support the fiberglass...
