Not yet, still working through it.

A few pics from Weds... The drive down: Prepping for disassembly: Disassembled: Heading back to pick it up on Mon morning. REALLY looking forward to that!

Forgot to mention the tires were all holding air. They were still robustly inflated when I got back down there today.

Not quite sure what your question is NDT. I will look at the CTIS component behind the pass kick plate to see if there is something mechanical wrong with it. Someone on the FB group suggested that, along with a servicing of the dryer.

Ronmar - I didn't note this when I was down there but it was in HWY mode and I think the indicator was flashing (just that one). Maybe the HWY and RUN FLAT. I am forgetting now. It was doing something though, not just all dark. With the truck functional enough to get home, I called it a day...

Starting to scour TM's but if anyone can point me to the correct one, I would appreciate it.

On site. Turned on ignition. Still cycling, 2x/sec or so. Unplugged CTIS controller, all good. Does that mean my controller just took a dump?

Thanks gents. Packing up now to head down to troubleshoot.

Should also say that someone went out and tried the ignition this morning and the solenoid is still clicking after everything cooling down overnight.

Need some help from the forum's collective knowledge.... Took my truck ~100 miles yesterday to Eugene to have the habitat structure blasted and painted. Drive down was hot with a bit of traffic but went smoothly. The fan cycled a bit more than expected but ran everything ran fine despite my...

Going instead with epoxy instead of powder coat and I even have it scheduled with a vendor for blasting and painting- Sept 8 delivery and disassembly on site, pick up over the weekend. It will be a lot of work between now and then but it's a huge milestone. When it comes back, the shelling...

Thanks Chris. It's been an incredibly fun and rewarding process so far. I have truly enjoyed it. That said, I can't wait to get it camp-able and go use it! Answers: 1 - The first set of rails serves as an adapter between the OEM 1088 chassis and whatever I was building, and also as the lower...

Great looking set up and glad to hear it's your ideal rig. I also had a Bigfoot (10.5', similar vintage) and loved it, but... It didn't have the storage I wanted. Even with bags, it was pushing the capacity of my diesel F350 dually. Unfortunately, the camper didn't stand up to the roads I...

Generic units are available, search for 44mm x 22mm switches. I have a post in my build thread on what I found: https://www.steelsoldiers.com/threads/m1088-camper-conversion.193622/page-4#post-2308321

Is that alu or stainless?

Doug, I can't tell by looking at the picture, but if you look closely at the front lens, you should be able to see very fine wires (like a rear window defroster) applied to it. The heating is done by current flowed through the wire matrix just like the rear window version. The wires are...

Another thing I checked was wheel component run out. On the two worst wheel assemblies I had, they were up to 1/8" out of round. I know that doesn't sound like a lot but by swapping wheel "faces" and "bells" (not sure of the correct technical name), I was able to get them all fairly...

Based on the above, a good rule looks to be stay under 26k GVW and you'll be fine. That's been one of my no-compromise build constraints.

As long as it's not a metal-on-metal or violent sounding hammering noise, yes, it's normal. That's the pneumatic portion in operation and completely normal. If that doesn't give you the warm fuzzies, post a video of it- or just the sound track- and I bet someone here would be able to confirm...

Some good work was done this weekend, starting with another do-over. The cargo bay doors were aesthetically pleasing but the hinges flexed too much and I lost the floor space in the bay which the hinges occupy. Time to design something else to get that space back and reliably locate the doors...
