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...
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
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...

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...
and... I feel like an idiot....
I always check fuses first... and I did....
But, I didn't check the belt that's only a year old...
Pulled out my spare alternator (M1031, keep it in the body), pop the hood, and go to loosen the bolts and.... where is the belt? lolol
Belts were all new 1...
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...

We have people coming from Canada, Oregon, etc.
It's on 40ish acres, usually Thur-Mon of that weekend, it's like a camping trip with a parade through Napavine and convoy through wherever we...
