    Direct-Connecting deep-cycle Lifepo4 to LC200 Alternator ?

    Edit: OTOH, the Victron DC DC chargers do get hot, so addition heat sink helps. If 120V or solar is available, keep batteries charged and balanced w a nice Victron hardwired charger when parked

    Direct-Connecting deep-cycle Lifepo4 to LC200 Alternator ?

    investigating these alternator charging issues takes up lots of camping time. My 55amp alternator goes to an Optima AGM under the truck bed & then to dual Victron DC DC chargers that maintain 200AH LiFePo. Normal use hasn't taxed the battery capacity more than 15%. Ran house fridge from my...

    AluCab awning mounting? solutions requested!

    Waiting on the delivery of my passenger side AluCab Shadow awning. I don’t use a RTT, and I want to protect the awning (especially the rear) from being torn-off in tight, high angle maneuvers. I’m using 80/20 extruded channel and L brackets, mounted about 45degrees, so when the awning is...

    Cross over for early element style filter?

    Since I don’t have a 1965 single carb, I use a toyota firetruck air cleaner housing that sits on the distributor side, with a cylinder pleated paper filter for a tractor with pantyhose stretched around it. Been on the road for years, but it isn’t going to the museum bought a beautiful glass...

    Were are the JETS

    Jets.com All sizes of Mikuni jets. I tried the non smog year jetting at first, the 2F stock jets, and experimented with 3 mains and secondary sets on the ‘72 carb I use. Gets tricky at altitude if you’re loaded with a 1000 lbs of gear and big tires. After a month I found my recipe. I could...
