the secret to a more quiet diesel is use a water cooled engine. Look into a used water cooled diesel Big Rig APU (aux. power unit) and swap the alternator for a 24v one. Use a 12v step down to 12v, to run any 12v things on APU (sensors?). Advantage is you can set it up also to use that 24v...

is that a reply to Chucky about cabinet wood, or to myself about habitat voltage/Solar setup?

That Babies got Back.... Have you driven it around with that tail sticking out? Id be concerned for loss of snaking around in tight spaces.

Thanks Keith. Guess manufactures have been listening... I see now couple models on Amazon that have manual cranks you can pop on if need be in addition to the one you mention above. sweet.

The spongy suspension of both the yeep and the LMTV may cause erratic driving oscillations that can end up disastrous. Might want to consider this potential and pull and bind down the Yeeps springs heavily when you lash it on the bed for transport. Thats a pretty high center of gravity as well.
