    M1088a1 Camper Build!

    You'll get more visibility here for general troubleshooting questions. As far as the camper build, you might want to make a dedicated build thread over in the Camper Conversion forum here on SS. But there's no rule against it being in here. It's your choice.

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    Yeah, the disconnect gets tripped every time I exit the cab. Or else... And yeah, I killed three almost new batteries before I discovered the issue. And it's why I'm on a charger of some sort 24/7 when the truck is not in motion.

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    Don't get me started about wireless issues. I was IT for 20 years and I still refuse to incorporate wireless anything when I can avoid it. Just one more thing to break or be interfered with by any one of a million factors (especially in vehicles). Anything with real-time telemetry like...

    LMTV Shocks Absorbers

    Ideally, you'd get corner weights, per axel weights, and overall weight of the truck. Then King (or whoever) can valve the front and rear shock to the specific weights. But you absolutely want to stick with a 3" body. Yes, the rear on the A0/A1/A1R are the same for a...

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    No, not on it's own. The display allows you to swap between inputs, so you could connect three cameras (one each HDMI, VGA, AV) and switch between them. Some monitors do support split screen (so two cameras could be displayed in that case). Not sure if that monitor has the split...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    I just use 12v from the cab quite a bit when parked. I run a stereo, a refrigerator, charge radios, etc. I live in pretty extreme warm and humid weather and I'm adding a cab exhaust fan on a thermal switch that runs when the truck is parked. So I guess the primary goal...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    And that's roughly what I have set up. When parked, one input option is solar. It can swath between the Solargizer or >> the 100w solar panel or >> shut off both The second input is the NOCO for shorepower (it's only used when the solar is "off") I was just wondering if...

    Charging/Maintenance and Alternators

    So I have several components I'm getting around to installing. These are strictly for the truck batteries and independent of the house bank. Truck is an A1R w/260a alt Dual battery mod I have the following that I use/will use: 1) NOCO Genius2 (for shore power charging) 2)...

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    LOL OK, that explains it.

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    I just don't recall ever seeing that. And I don't recognize the surrounding area shown (can't tell if it's inboard, outboard, underneath the PDP, etc).

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    OK, I'm stumped. Where is this located?
  14. Third From Texas

    Show me your auxiliary fuse panel

    I was going to but no, I wanted to keep it hot w/o the ignition. I've always preferred my accessories be available w/o the ignition "on". I also rely religiously on my battery disconnect switching the cab. If I want power to anything, it's on. The fuse block on the driver side is...

    Diagnostic Readers

    I suggest taking a close look at the available space behind each kick panel. There's room, but mounting locations are a consideration (especially on the passenger side). I have a 6-gang behind each kick panel (Still haven't mounted the passenger side permanently, it's pretty tight...

    M1088 camper conversion

    I've seen the new alternative on FB. It appears to be much improved over that first guy's design (that <insert_points_of_compass_flippers> later copied and sells). By far the best solution I've seen yet (beyond the A1R designed that completely removed the problem...hey, I've never had an...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    Not sure if it's in the TM section on SS https://www.hdtglobal.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/02/TM_10-4520-264-12P_SHC60_MARCORSYSCOM.pdf

    Diagnostic Readers

    Yep. I tapped 12v at the PDC, ran a wire (in a plastic loom) thru the forward most body panel Then I added a 6-gang fuse block screwed onto the firewall on the driver side behind the kick panel. Handy for future additions, but the main goal was to fuse protect the Bluefire...

    SHC35 and SHC60 Battery

    Do you have the TM? iirc it has some trouble shooting tips per code. But I'm not at home at the moment to look it up. 18 is the ambient temp sensor I think
