Pretty slick ! Wish I had your shop. :) I didn't like constantly replacing the NOS retainers (especially at $50/ea surplus value). I tried the metal rod keepers that the A1R came with. They are sort of like carb rod keepers from the 50's-60's. They worked but were a total...

I sadly came to the same conclusion, at least for now. I had a little Yanmar air-cooled mounted and you couldn't hear yourself yell when it was running. I was going to enclose it and do some sound deadening, but even then I'm not sure. My little gas genset is stealthy in...

Excuse my ignorance, but what are these units? I recognize all the rest.

Looks amazing. I'm dreading electrical...

Did you rebuild/insulate the forward upper boxes that you set up for storage? My OEM heater up there has never functioned properly (goes to "fault" constantly). And LOL at the massive cavern on the left that holds the tiny 110v fan. I'm torn between using the space for internal...

They want cat scales and an inspection here. They look to see if you have any four of like a dozen criteria that meet the req's for "RV" here in Texas (easy list to fill and I'm like 8/12 so all set there). But as I said, they could sort out a school buss (after I showed them...

I was down at titles today and meant to ask about this. I have to go back with a cat scale reading for my other truck tomorrow and I will ask the fella about it then. I found a manager who was quite knowledgeable (rare here) and he even commented on what a PITA dealing with GP...

Impressive operation Me:

On the three trucks that I've owned, the very first thing I did was delete two batteries and roll with duals. Again, I'm in S. Texas so it's not like I will ever have to sit in -40 degrees cranking on it endlessly trying to start (and if that ever became the case I'm smart enough to...

Again, we're talking about the battery disconnect here. The OEM one installed at the factory. I don't recall if the A1 came with a battery disconnect, but the A1R does. So you're saying not to use it else your trans module will brick. Gotcha I think I'll wait for Ron to chime in...

Can't say, don't have an A1. Mine's an A1R with a battery disconnect. and it sure as hell safely stops the drain when the battery is disconnected. I also know that a battery disconnect works fine in an A0 truck. Want to test it? Go pull your battery cables for a day. Hook them...

Ron knows about as much on the topic as anyone I've seen post. He's had some interesting perspectives. There's the trans computer that is always on, but at the end of the day a battery disconnect solves all. :)

I'd have figured that it would require a balancer to populate the charge across all four. Know that 99.9999% of the time with these trucks the 12v side is too low due to the damned 12v vampiric leak they all suffer. So a single charger hooked to one battery with a balancer would...

How are you tying the aluminum frame to the walls?

I forgot to ask, is this yours by chance? If not, it should be. LOL

Awesome range ! Where did you source the straps and mounts?

It that plastic decking that you used?

I know I don't tell you enough how much I love that porch. ;)
