    High voltage alternator

    The other way I was thinking of doing this is to simply have a 120V inverter that sends AC back to the inverter charger generator input. I would be limited to the max idle output unless I had someway to increase the inverter load with RPM. The would probably limit me to about 3000 watts with...

    High voltage alternator

    Battery charging. I am aware of the 48V alternators. They are ridiculously expensive. Here is a 56V alternator with 75% more power that is less than 1/3 the price. https://enginepartssuperstore.com/Category/MG976/Mahle-New-Alternator-AAN8217-56V-150A/ I am planning a 20kWh pack in the...

    High voltage alternator

    How much power can you transit? This is far a sprinter and they already make a 5,000W second alternator kit, so add that to the stock alternator, and that is close to 7,500W. Is the limit based on each individual pulley? PTO won’t work as this is for recharging the house batteries while...

    High voltage alternator

    I keep finding that charging a 48V battery bank from the alternator is quite the challenge on many vehicles. Stock alternators maybe give you 2500watts max, then you have to convert it. I was thinking what if we exchanged the stock alternator with a high voltage alternator like 56V 60V or 72V...

    2019 Overlander (Unbound Freedom) $210k CAD

    I know this is an old thread, but did the company that made these go belly up? Their website doesn't connect and FB page hasn't been update in a while.

    Winnebago EKKO

    I was thinking of an Ekko while waiting to save up start my F550 expedition vehicle using your panels. I can get a loan for an Ekko easy, can't for a custom build. But looking at the backlog, I might get my expedition vehicle built before I could get an Ekko.

    Winnebago EKKO

    Not sure what you mean. Don't the front wheels just use spacers with a dually setup?

    Winnebago EKKO

    I really like the Ekko. I think it would be great if someone offered a super single conversion kit. I think the rear axle is 7,200 pounds, so need 3,600 pound tires and only found one in 265/75R16 with an F load rating that would exceed that.

    So, calling other people dumb is not trolling?

    Recirculating Showers?

    First off, this is not for drinking. Why does this even have to be said? Second, the big concern is viruses. Since I will be the only one showering in the shower, any viruses in the water will be from me. Third, the next big concern is bacteria. You can't eliminate all the bacteria, but the...

    Recirculating Showers?

    Yes, this is very important. If my setup works, I will be able to cycle the water through the filters without the water actually running. I can just manually switch on one of the pumps and it will force open a pressure relief valve to allow the water to cycle through the system. But with the...

    Recirculating Showers?

    A UV filter kills germs. That is it they make it through the filters. However, I agree that having the grey water sit in the tank is not ideal which is why I will filter mine before it returns to the tank. This isn’t a system for people who park in hotel parking lots. This is a system for...

    Recirculating Showers?

    I plan on having a recirculating shower in my build. I have a unique idea that I think will work. I'd have to bench test it to be sure, but my idea is to have the grey water drain return to the filter line via a second pump. So, essentially two pumps, one pumping from the drain, and the other...

    What will happen sooner... a Ford Gas vs Diesel dilema

    They are most definitely unapproved and authorized for emergency use. It is not "approved" by the FDA. And since long terms studies are available, it is experimental. "WHAT IS THE PFIZER-BIONTECH COVID-19 VACCINE? The Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 Vaccine is an unapproved vaccine that may prevent...

    Yeah, not so into taking unapproved experimental treatments for something from which I am very low risk.

    What will happen sooner... a Ford Gas vs Diesel dilema

    Well, not sure it is going to happen now. Found out on Friday that my company is going to fire me because I won't take the vaccine. Ugh.
