    m1102 wiring for civ 7-way plug

    Howdy, I have a Oct 2006 m1102 trailer which I cut off the mil plug and simply wired in a RV 7-way plug. I was preparing to change bulbs and such. But all my lights function and work correctly. Marker lights, turn signals, hazards, brakes. Do I still need to change or move around bulbs?

    M116A3 ideas and worth

    Howdy, I too was under the impression it was a m116a3 But now, after looking around, they have just grouped them in with the other names. http://www.schuttindustries.com/Military/Trailers/Light-Tactical/LTT-TQG-NAME.aspx Mine was at first known as M116A3 High-Mobility. I now see it would be a...

    MEP 8XX wiring question

    Howdy, It really depends on whether you are mounting the generator to be permanent. If that is the case, you would then use conduit and get #6 THHN. If you will only connect it to the power inlet, then I would suggest a few methods. Tin the ends... or you could look over the various Anderson...

    New to me PU798A (Mep-803a on a LTT-TQG high mobility)

    Howdy, OK, If my unit is the standard example of genset being sold.... you really need to do a 1-2 hour load test to clean out the pipes. I removed my muffler, and removed the exhaust manifold. I manually scrapped out the pathways in the head. Cleaned out the muffler as best as I could...

I also am about 80 miles away. I prepared for the recovery. Being prepared really is important here due to being away from home...

    Howdy, The interlock is fine. It also gives you the option of running larger wire and putting in a larger dual pole breaker for the size of your genset. Some states in the United States are nanny states. A proper UL approved interlock from the main panel manufacturer will be code compliant...
