Actually, a buddy here in town who works at a sailing charter gave me a Xantrex inverter/charger 3.0 that had come out of a sailboat. It was thought bad, but replacement did not solve their issue so he said it could have been viable. Sadly, it was a paperweight...

Oh I'm not disagreeing. I just accept the fact that I'd get a lemon no matter what I purchase. LOL Magnum are used in a LOT of ambulance boxes (I spent three years studying/researching ambo's to use as a build platform/hab). But the prices on all the "best" brands are simply out...

I'd love to do Victron, Xantrex (again), etc. I just personally don't see the features justifying the added cost. Victron CS has some aweful reviews out there. And they ALL fail at some point, no matter the brand. Not in my budget for this build in any event. Certainly not if I'm...

And as I said, still ~10% of the owners poo-poo them. Industry standard... ;)

No worries. I do chuckle when I hear someone poo-poo a brand that they had used....offroad....for a couple years...or with no notable use but never really "burned in 24 hrs to discover fault" and went to use it and it was dead, etc. They ALL can do that. And they are ALL made in...

I don't know anyone personally using a Renogy inverter but after years of tire-kicking, eye-balling, review-reading, and pondering inverters I've come to believe four things: Like most electronics, if they are defective you will discover it within the first 24 hours of running under load...

Did you just assume her gender!!!!????? /reported ;p

Went for a quick 4 day camp earlier this week.

Need to hack into it and substitute a little image of an LMTV. ;) Otherwise, I'll be interested to see how this adapts. I know they have them on cars and I know they have them on pickups but I've not seen this type 360 system on an RV (commercial truck, garbage truck, etc). It's all...

Forecast was for some dry air with lows in the 70's and highs in the 90's for a week so I loaded up Monday and spend four days, three nights surf fishing. Got a blacktip each day and reds were running Tuesday. Ran out of beer or I'd have stayed another night. LOL

Try a leaf spring shop (seriously). A flat leaf isn't expensive at all. See if you can find someone locally that makes springs and spring packs. I'm pretty certain CC Spring is still in operation here, but it's Texas. Texas lives on big equipment and shops are everywhere.

1) True, but they hate me less since I got the second LMTV moved from the street in front of my house. 2) Actually, I'm constructing a hedgerow. There's a civil war coming, you know. I'm building that. 3) Only aimed for testing. The dog always gets one fan. 4) Don't make fun of...

Well the entire OEM heater console is temporary. My old set of dash fans I had up there had failed, and the two replacements were just sitting in my living room so I wanted to mount them (it's hot down here in Texas at stop lights w/o a fan the the M1079 is my daily driver and...

I've toyed with the idea of a FL wheel (I want the cruise switches, horn, and a mic key switch and the center piece on the Cascadia would be perfect for my plans). I'm hesitant to go with the smaller diameter after hearing some feedback, though. There's a reason big trucks have big wheels...

Agreed, he has a gift. I have to use memes. Meanwhile, this thread...

Tempting offer, but it seems unfair using a community memeber as a Guinea pig. I'll just order one for me and install it next to the other one. Then I can test for accuracy without feeling guilty.

And it appears that there is a wire tag on there so that will ID those wires you're holding there. They could also be radio set wires, chem detector, etc. The tag will tell...

You're testing this with the service (headlights) "on", correct? I don't have access to my files still, but I sort of recall that my convoy light only worked with ark or service lights active.

Yep, it was a spec item on several models. Just not the standard LMTV (until perhaps the A1R).

Honestly, this is what I'd father have.... https://www.amazon.com/Inclinometer-AUTOOL-Speedometer-Electronic-Clinometer/dp/B07V6HZZD6/ref=sr_1_59?dchild=1
