I can only speak to the OEM M1079 captured spring system on my hab.
I live on the coast in S.Tx and it blows 25mph on a normal day. We get frontal systems all spring and most of the winter and I've traveled up thru the hill country almost year-round.
Granted, my hab is only 12.5' x 8' so...
I want to get this done soon.
I'm thinking of adding a boot (either shock or fork if I can find one that might mod-to-fit.
Not just for show but to protect the shaft and seals.

I was sandbagged for it, but it never came.
We had just over two days of showers here that were steady, but not pouring.
My garage will flood if I get an inch on top of already saturated ground, and while it was certainly saturated what followed was spread out enough the it never even pooled...
If it's not an A1R (2008 and later) it has the 100a alt.
Absolutely drop to dual batteries.
I don't have this diagram for the "With Disconnect Switch" but I think it's still the same.
I use this on my M1079 with dual batteries.
It's permanently mounted in my battery box with the 120v plug sticking out near the NATO port
Flip the battery disconnect, plug the 120v in for the night, done.

Usually from someone parting out a truck (and they are typically about the same price as a used tank).
Or from civilian applications (I've seen an over-the-counter solution but it was about the same price, as much as a couple hundred ea and typically need some form of modification). *I may have...
Not yet. Re-ruptured this lower back/disc issue. Not interested in surgery and it takes months to heal up after it blows out.
My buddy told me he'd help me out when he returns from his surf trip to Mex later this month.
I've been eyeballing it, and I honestly think I can do the repair if I...
No, but it shouldn't need to.
With the controller disconnected, the tire pressure remains at it's current psi indefinitely.
If it's not holding psi, you have a leak(s).
Ideally, you do NOT want the CTIS system compensating for leaks.
"I’m assured that the forklift operator was careful and used both his cane and his seeing eye dog."
I've seen GP Complaints (on FB) where the vic was undamaged in the auction photos and then damaged after the sale.
The GP response is always "tough s***"
Seems they are not responsible for ANY...
Yeah, it's obviously not the CTIS controller itself.
Unplugged, the tire pressure should hold whatever the pressure is set for indefinitely.
*also note that you can fry the controller plugging/unplugging it while it's power supply is hot so always be sure all power is off before...
The Monroes are also 2" diameter shock bodies vs the 3" OEM body, iirc.
Larger dia equates to larger compression/rebound/reserve chambers internally and thus the ability to dampen more weight.
It is a pity that S&S/BAE didn't source a more common industrial shock size.
As a result, you can...
