Thank you. With leaving the existing disconnects in I didn't think about moving them to the ground side. I am going to have to go back to the LBCD schematic. I recall folks are cutting out the LBCD disconnect function, connecting 12v and 24v loads to 12v and 24v bats, respectively, I assumed...

Right. And you have a mechanical AC compressor so how much DC load do you really have?

I have read a lot of your thread and obviously need to do more. Thank you—

Looking at the way we hope to use our M1078A1, an middle aged couple traveling with a dog or two in a land yacht, we hope to have a robust cab and chassis electrical and HVAC system separate from a habitat system. For many years we have camped and backpacked at more remote corners of the...

Your description is all so confusing, no idea where to start. Photos of primer delete; which FASS pump did you install and why; photos of the alternator tag and which terminal is 12v and 3v; what did you notice above 14?

If I understand the design the brackets' horizontal surfaces never meet. The 'spacer' between the habitat's bottom rails and chassis' top rails keeps them apart—

Your efforts paid off; thanks for the laugh. Habitat will have a separate system–

We see it as a good path forward as we are adding 24v AC to the cab. Another way to separate out the AC and non essential accessories would be to replace the Niehoff dual with a 28v 200a and reuse the 12v lines to run 24v for the AC and accessories straight off the second battery bank...

The Victron 24/12v 70a connecyed at PDP X1 supplies 12v to the PDP X2. Leave a 12v feed to keep dual alternator happy. Only load on alternator is 24v. 28v 100a should be 2.8kW—

Is it complex? Use a Victron 24/12 70a to power the PDP's 12v side utilizing the full 24v side of the Niehoff alternator while the engine is running; charge 2 batteries in series maintained by the alternator's 24v side for starting, eliminating over charging, alternator over heating, and need...

The more I read the more I think 100 to 150a 24v alternator is all that is needed for cab and chassis only, even with a 24v HVAC system for the cab. We are thinking of splitting to a system of two 2-12vAGM's in series (first set to the starter; second set to the PDP @h X1, with a 24/12 70a...

What brand panels are you all using? 12v? 24v? 48v?

We are thinking of splitting to a system of two 2-12vAGM's in series (first set to the starter; second set to the PDP @h X1, with a 24/12 70a dc2dc converter between X1 and X2), and replacing the LBCD with a Victron Cyrix-ct 225a 12/24v battery combiner. At the same time it looks like we can...

Deleted a half baked idea once again leaving the purpose of a thread. Thank you for your patience with me—

What four pressures do you use and how do you obtain them? And what is the weight of your unit and use case?

I have the DANA/Spicer software. It works great. Thinking about adding a switch to change which pin(s) provide power to the ECU to create more pressure options. Is three settings enough? Would six be better? See the thread that starts here—

Thank you. I am thinking about trying to find the different programming different power routes may provide [H, M, or Z] that @GeneralDisorder mentioned on another thread. Thought you may have gone that route. I am wondering if I really need 6 or 9 different settings?

Would you share what settings you use on your high/low programs?

How much are you all paying to insure your MV's? We have an 2003 Stewart and Stevenson M1078A1, not for hire, private use. Liability, maximum on uninsured motorists and medical; what ever our typical deductible amount. With the agent who does our home and other vehicles, too. I think he has...

We are all making plans for the path we hope to travel. Life is what happens when you are busy making other plans. —Alen Saunders
