Got back from the maden voyage yesterday. All in all it was a great time. The air conditioner worked great and the truck kept the rain off. We had quite a few compliments and lots of questions. I'll post some pics when the camera is charged.
There are a few things I need to adjust.
1. re-locate the 110 power inlet to driver side.
2. double the width of the tailgate by hingeing a piece that will fold under the existing talegate and flip out when
camping for any period of time. It will double the platform size. The deck is too narrow with the kids in and out.
3. I need to close the gap between the tailgate and the top step of the stairs. I will add a step section to the inside
edge of the top step. So the top step will have a tread width that is closer to 14 inches instead of 7 inches. The
other steps are just fine.
4. I have a leaking wheel cilinder. Rear axle drivers side.
5. This is a big thing. The wife said the trip in the back was bad. Too hot with very little air circulation. I need to figure
out a way to run the ac while driving. The unit draws 740watts / 7 amps. The fridge will draw about 95watts /
1.2amps. I was thinking about the 2nd alternator option.
59apache, I just read your thread. If I purchase a 2000 watt inverter, would a second alternator provide enouph AC
power for the air conditioner and fridge? I know there is a drop in power as far as amps goes when going from DC to
AC. This is a must fix. (The wheel cilinder is
Safty, so it must be fixed. The air conditioner is for
Happy Wife and
must also be fixed.
