    the XM971 "command camper" build

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    Thanks! working for a airline has its perks sometimes lol I plan to mount a 30-40gal tank under the trailer and feed the gen with a low press. fuel pump.. I do not have a control panel yet, but the gen is wired for it. I need to get a new control board for it first though, mine has been...

    Specific Application for this AC Unit?

    they look EXACTLY like the 4 that came on the front of my M971 trailer.. you should see the reinforcing on the front wall of the trailer.. the front wall is made of a grid of 2"X4" box Aluminum spaced every foot.. also look really close, the ones i had also put out heat..

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    They are VERY reliable.. And easy to get parts for is relative.. Everything is available (unlike Chinese units) and it's a pressurized oil system.. And it runs at 1800rpm (most other generators are 3600rpm units) so it's quieter then most others.. In my mind the onan generators are the best...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    I say GO FOR IT! But, I learned that after you start hanging stuff under the trailer, it takes up the ground clearance really quick.. That's why the gen is going in the front, and not under.. With it mounted under I had 8-9" of clearance left under it.. I suspect the M129 would not have that...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    I picked up a onan 4kw CCK generator that was used in a guard shack on a old military base.. the shack is about 1/2 mile from my house (dont worry, I went through all the correct/legal channels) well the shack was close to the river, so every spring it went under water for 2-10+ days.. so the...

    the XM971 "command camper" build

    i ordered a 33gl fresh water tank.. and when I got it, well lets just say I'm ordering a 100gal and prolly using the 33gal as a gray tank.. for me 33gal would work for 3-4 days, but if i have 2-3 people with me, then 33 gal MIGHT get me through a nights worth of showers.. just food for thought...

    5ton Buying Guide?

    did you mean m35a2? and my advice is to read the operators TM (i think its the -10) TWICE! because you will miss something the first time through.. i know its a boring read, but it will tell you LOTS about how it is supposed to drive and how it works.. also- fill in where in VA you are, it is...
