    RV hook up to a MEP-803a

    Howdy, A lot will depend upon the location of items. Temp setup? A easy at home where the RV is always parked setup? I would say maybe something like this Outdoor RV Panel which gives you your 50amp plug, and a duplex 20amp plug. Circuit breakers covering both. Being connected back to the...

    Fort Drum pick up question please.

    Howdy, IMHO My perspective: It is a 5kw on a trailer. The trailer looks good, tires look good, pintle and surge area look good. MEP-802A unit is dated 2000, and from seeing pictures, does not show as being reset. This makes me think that either it was forgotten, not used, hour meter not...

    Fort Drum pick up question please.

    Howdy, Good score. You will be a little delayed due to that unit needing a EUC. You scored 2 Optima redtop batteries. They actually do not fit. At least they left the proper battery trays there. The proper fitting batteries are 51R. They fit in the trays and work with the hold downs. My...

    24v charging thru slave port

    Howdy, Graywacke Engineering makes a bunch of slave port connectors. Here is a link to the slave port product PDF I used the mini-nato connector. I am sure you could use any 24v charger/maintainer and attach this end.

    15 minute rule - flustrating

    Howdy, In the real world. There is no time limit. Bidding at a real auction will go until there are no more bids. That means if you think it will be 10 minutes, and it takes 1 hour, that's how it works. I would say anyone complaining about the 15 minute rule after last bid has never been...

    Deuce Trip from MD to CA

    Howdy, You have gotten lots of great tips here. But, since your flying in, you will be short of a lot of stuff. Just because you check a bag, they still have a weight limit. They have a excess weight baggage fee. 24 volt system. Cig lighter? Maybe a 12 volt solar charger for your phone smart...

    Lost m1102 grease cap

    Howdy, The trailer M110x manual has it listed as Fulton Grease Cap - 2.722" Outer Diameter - 1-7/16" Tall - Drive In I would assume any cap which is 2.72" diameter is going to work.

    Howdy, What product? from where? The CRP N203535-5 CONTITECH Diesel Hose is the new bio-diesel capable hose. In the VW, Mercedes world, it is also known as the yellow stripe diesel fuel return hose. Yes, rubber fails over time. But, non-use hurts rubber also. Either way, I now have all new...

    They tried to kick my truck out of the neighborhood!

    Howdy, You are simply in violation. It's not BS. It really doesn't matter whether you use it daily, have private tags, commercial tags. You live in a residential neighborhood. After reading what it all spells out. The grammar is fine for getting the point across. Is the vehicle greater than...

    Break-In oil for the low hour MEPS

    Howdy, I noticed nobody has mentioned anything about break-in oil. My MEP-802A had 14 hours on the meter (3/07 unit) so it really has been sitting a while. But with so low hours, I wanted to change the oil and all the filters. I put in break-in oil. Sometimes the meters are not true, but in...
