Re: Move Spare Tire

You could use a hitch mounted cargo rack and strap the spare down to that. Something like this maybe: MaxxHaul Aluminum 49.5 Inch x 22.5 Inch 70422 48" x 21" Hitch Mount Compact Cargo Carrier-500-lb Load Capacity https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00SL2STX4/ref=cm_sw_r_other_apa_i_FqnrEb5S0AWT8 Se...

Re: Solar prewire cover?

You could use something like this, which is what I used when I added solar panels.

Anyone know off hand what the stock alternator amp rating is for a '92? Also, if anyone has replaced these same parts on t...

Re: Captain's Chair Armrest Repair

Nice fix. Funny you posted this now--I just repaired our armrests a couple of days ago and they were broken in the same way as yours. I took a different angle and got longer screws that i put through wide washers, kind of like this: https://www.lawsonproducts.com/images/Automotive/Body-Hardware/Spec...

Re: Solar Connection to Converter

Would there be any potential issues when plugged into shore power, since there would be 2 different charging sources connected at the same time (shore and solar)?

I know the basic wiring is solar panel>controller>battery, but would I just connect the pos...

Basic (?) 12v wiring question

Ok, let's pretend that I'm a complete novice when it comes to wiring because, well, I'm a complete novice when it comes to wiring. If I wanted to add a 12 volt outlet like this: https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/20190826/f0a9e90f29ddcc8a536418f4d4ca049b.jpg To my van in order to power a 12v DC fridge...

Re: Has anyone replaced the fridge with a compressor-type? Like Vitrifrigo? Or NovaKool?

So are those the factory 12v wires hooked up to your new Nova Kool? Do you get power to it only when the engine is running (which is how I thought that wiring worked)?
