So that total is $1312 for the 13500 BTU Dometic (add $70 for the 15000 BTU, but I suspect 13500 would be more than ample for the cab). AC amazon.com/gp/product/B00VZ547UI/ Gasket amazon.com/gp/product/B000EDUTNQ/ Controls amazon.com/gp/product/B00HJQ86UO/ Inverter...

Appreciate all the discussion.

Ah, I follow now.

That Visionaire sounds sort of like the system Seal Filner (the "Able" channel on YouTube) ran hooked up to his hydraulic system. He grenaded his power steering pump when he was testing the compressor. I think his was from a crane or forklift. It's an interesting alternative, though.

Diesel gen (10hp Dewey Battery Charging Auxiliary Power Unit with a 6kW gen head swap) will do it. I just don't want to have to run the gen while driving (I'm already lucky to get 7mpg). Haven't totally ruled out rooftop for the cab, but I sort of have other plans for up there. :)

True for most with the OEM alt. My A1R has a 260v alt, though. I think I could pull it off for the cab AC. Thanks to that link !

Found a video showing one (sorta) installed. Heh

Interesting bit of kit. A buddy recommended I look into this (he has one on their boat). In the past, I had thought about looking into the 12v AC used on Prius, etc but this is plug-n-play almost and has FAR more BTU. The price is comparable to what some of the less-rip surplus sellers are...

No, but there are different TM (manuals) based on the type of truck (A0, A1, A1R). You have an A0 and the TM for that truck is available (but the schematics in the back are a bit of a mess to understand). As Geo said, there is a harness behind the heater that would accept a pigtail leading to...

What year truck?

It's a good idea to flip it up when not in use (at least at nights). Just in case the truck encounters a 12v "leak" as many do.

Yep. Those were just the most recent that I've followed since they were posted and that I had bookmarked. No doubt there may be others but Dragonbyte's search function is a wee bit lacking at times.

There are a number of OSHA articles that discuss the handling of airbags. How does it happen? How do unloaded guns kill people? People don't know what they are doing when screwing with them (most folks are from a generation that either never had them or from the generations that followed who...

That brings up a very good point. Know what you are buying or at least know how to recognize an airbag system. Having an airbag charge go off unexpectedly while installing can be dangerous.

I've run dual batteries on all three trucks I've owned. *not my drawing, I don't know whom to credit, though

Speaking of welding, I wish I had more room for fab. I want to make this *so* badly...

Mission-specific. Older CPU and RAM can choke on modern software and Internet sites. But yes you can do a lot with an old Linux box. I wouldn't say better off due to the hardware antiquity. The physical components of a 15 y/o PC simply don't talk to each other or process data anywhere near...

Nice. Love the paint. There are about a half dozen guys here who had to extend their frames for RV builds who are crying right now, though. Heh

That's pretty badass if your in the business, but too rich for my blood. When the time comes that I have to ever drop a trans, I just can't see spending that kinda cash for the project.

Heh, Vista was only surpassed by Millennium in terms of suck. But yes, great for opening pdfs. ;)
