    So far the only thing I have back there is a bed and a composting toilet... heh.. It keeps me out of the weather.... so I can't complain.

    What have you done to your 5 ton this week?

    I drove my M934 to Wendy's. I'm finding out though, that it's **** near impossible to stealth camp in it. I'm homeless and living in it, and towing my M1031 behind it.. and it's tractor trailer length long.. no one wants it in their parking lot.... I'm thinking of getting a 932A2 and...

    M934a2 bhtrv

    Why would you do that? You're losing 20% right off the bat in terms of conversion efficiency... That means a 1kw battery bank is effectively an .8kw battery bank

    M934a2 bhtrv

    Try to keep as much stuff 12v as possible. Every conversion from 12 to 120 to xVDC is a loss in efficiency, even your laptop power supply.. use a DC DC power supply instead. Also, look into converting a chest freezer into a fridge, often called an aussie fridge.... very efficient...

    I'm always torn between period correct and new technology. Whelen R316 Beacon would be awesome... Keep the classic look but update to bigger/brighter. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JzOz2L80zDU Unity also has their LED beacon...

    Anybody have an idea of how much less a CUCV is worth once it's been in an accident?

    Overland 5-ton camper with a 20' container (now 40' !)

    an empty 20' box weighs in at 5k lbs. The M934 is 17' with a 2 ft overhang for the HVAC (which are usually torn out). Start with a long wheelbase unit, otherwise it won't fit.

    M 923 NHC 250 leaking fuel pump/fuel control shaft

    It's an easy job. couple bolts... couple connectors... big wrench... Wes walked me through mine, and it was super easy. It sounds complicated but when you do it you'll be kicking yourself for thinking it was so hard. I ordered my parts direct from Cummins... I replaced all the O-rings and...

    Gen 1 died.... again... I had it rebuilt by a reputable shop... When I picked it up the voltage was a hair low but not low enough for me to be too concerned... What's pissed me off, is I paid over $200 to have it rebuilt instead of buying a new aftermarket one because quality is supposed to be...
