    yeah one of those would work... luckily came across REAL vintage one and grabbed it, stowed it away just for using as camper heater. Was wrong on the years..... 1941-1948 Ford

    not really, sensed it... but felt it is more misplaced as you might think; cause reality is the air AND coolant heaters are rare.. and helping reduce the chip on shoulder will make it easier to accept that the odds are you will likely going to end up with either one or the other and not a...

    got a heater core its cover and fan, out from below a 50s something farm truck dash to use. Going vintage camper-ish look so it should tie right in.

    much appreciate. Curios if the shock has a limit stop. It may not since the metal can on the outside; beside little armor protection for bag, may also be the limit stop (to keep from over compressing shock when all air is out bag and to keep from lowering too much; thus stretching the bag...

    Transmission shift panel/vacuum form protector

    hard keys or soft gell cover? there were two types. Hard Key kind seemed to last better... the gel ones... not so much so... Motor Homes with similar Alison keypad from that era had same issues. Lots of storys of folk using the end of writing Pens to push hard enough to get keypad to...

    Charging Failiure

    minimum Alternator with 200amp output at 24v if your heavy battery usage like a camper, that gets battery charging for Start/drive and house banks. Or off road w/heavy electric winching. Otherwise shrink start/drive to two batts and 100amp 24v will get-er-done

    Charging Failiure

    IMHO if your in a boat to have to fork out huge sums of money... Dump the Neihoff and spend the money on getting a domestic commericial 24v alternator and a 24v to12v convertor to run the 12v stuff. There is some threads in here on this idea. Also Jerrit sells a mount kit... can also get kit...

    Land Anchors for winching MV campers ??

    LAND ANCHORS for winching our size trucks. What ya'll got and have used? Particularly the BIG TRUCKS as MV campers! Searched a bit to see what info is out there for trucks as big as Mogs, FMTV's, Deuce and Deuce 1/2 etc. sized Overland/Expedition campers. Lot of bits and pieces of info...

    Charging Failiure

    Check to see if the excite wire is telling the alternator to set abut to do it's thing. Think its 24v. Comes from the Oil pressure switch on the engine. This has been a common issue with A0's. That wire is known to Fubar itself. A few folk have found the Oil Pressure switch to be no longer...

    Does your alternator regulator have LED's. Usually it is newer ones... but sometimes you get lucky and the regulator has LED's indicators that flash based on whats going on

    Charging Failiure

    well you got that pretty covered. Now guess measure the outputs at alternator and follow the path down from there at any spot you can to see if it drops anywhere? hmm. now think about it.... how is your ground from alt. to chassis? Maybe clean that up good?

    did you read them? Though rules on them are different than many discussions sites..... they do sorta allow it with some caveats. Hence why was suggesting reading them. Apologize if I overstated it. near bottom of the rules page is the material to review...

    LMTV/MV Safety Improvements

    For camper am using one from Ambulance because the boxes construction will give cab some protection. Ambo Boxes... ESPECIALLY the high dollar ones of at least 90 to early 2000's.. maybe older; which I was lucky to obtain, are stronger than any expedition box out there. From the pics I've seen...

    is that an air heater or a coolant heater with heater coil to blow heat out? Just some out of the box thinking if it was coolant... . one could suck some of the heat out before the heater coil by heating a hot water tank, and/or a thermal battery (wood stove bricks) for use as instant hot...
