    Mitsubishi Fuso FG 4x4 tire options for stock rims

    You can run 265/75/r16 in the front, it's the same diameter as stock but wider. I ran these before going to singles. Stock size in rear. BFG ATs all around. I'm

    Couple Questions, PNW Solar Use, Math Check

    That's an interesting chart, but when it's wet and dark for days, I'd love to be getting anywhere close to a 1/3 of what someone gets in the southwest. You are trickle charging. You will be slightly better than battery capacity alone when stationary in nasty weather. You shut off fridge or...

    Couple Questions, PNW Solar Use, Math Check

    You need a lot of solar to keep up with a fridge during a winter low pressure in the pnw . 180wts will not keep up with my Novacool fridge with heat on inside. Either pull out a generator or preferably do as IdaSHO suggests and get creative, lots of cold air when there's no sun. Anywhere that's...

    Running 110v heater thru inverter while driving..

    Thanks for the responses! For a long term solution(next winter), I'll add either a coolant powered 'bus heater' or a diesel forced air system. I'm leaving from Vancouver Island for Baja in about a week, and new systems that take more than half an hr to install are not in the cards :)...

    Ok , I know there are better solutions, and some sort of 'bus heater' is in the works for next winter. Right now I only have a Dickenson propane furnace , which I can only use stationary. What sort of amp/watt draw could I run while driving without taxing the system? Even a small oil radiator...

    Running 110v heater thru inverter while driving..

    Hello clever people, Is there any reason why I can't run a 110v heater in the camper part of my truck while driving thru my Magnum 2000 watt inverter/charger. I have 2 8d 12v batteries, but I assume it's as simple as how much leftover power is available after truck needs, thru the alternator ...
