    72 watts are not much when I'm charging with 1000 watts of solar. Plus AC only used intermittently. Looked onto a mini split, too costly and used too much wall space. Thanks for the input though.

    My AC unit is also a heat pump, so no other heater needed. Blankets and sleeping bags if too cold for heat pump or no 110v available. Doesn't get real cold here, although may be in the mountains someday. No propane will be used, I don't like gas and want to stick with diesel only if possible...

    I am running a pure sine wave inverter, fairly efficient loaded or unloaded. I've watched the amp draw and it is doable with both the AC and the heat pump. When the AC compressor cycles off, my inverter amp draw is less than 6 amps. Plus with the 1k of solar I have for the roof, it will keep...

    That is an AC unit ( gets hot here in Florida ) with a heat pump, no gasses, just hot or cold air, depending on mode of operation.

    Fleabay and Amazon both show them, as well as Camping World.

    A little bit of a catch up here, some stuff I did last weekend. Trying to rough in the electrical for an upcoming campout, so laid out my 110v and 12v electrical components. Not doing the solar yet. Just used 3 of my 6 AGM batteries to see if my inverter would carry my AC unit. Ran well for...

    I can help you look at it. Should be easy. Either a wire grounded or a stuck relay. System works by grounding the relay through the horn switch.

    Hey Ray, great to see the beast is alive! Now you won't have to thumb your way home! :naner:

    How is RAYZER's head gasket job going?

    Thanks sojourner, yes I like solar as its quiet, automatic and fuel free. Some battery maintainance/replacement costs, but overall best. Now EMP resistant, not so sure.

    Thanks, glad you like, sojourner. Here are a couple of pics, one of a panel label and one of the spec sheet on the controller. Panels are Renogy, 1000 watts total. Controller is a 60 amp Ramsond Sunshield Pro. All voltages are adjustable with the on screen menu. I am using a Honda eu2000i...

    I have set up in the yard the solar components for the 109. Four 250 watt 36 volt panels, four for now AGM batteries, and a charge controller. Panels will just fit on top of the roof. Planning on up to 12 batteries, space permitting. My idea is to cut out the center forward floor of the box...

    Don't ask how I know, but be aware if you soak the inside walls with Ospho rust treatment, it WILL leak out through the body seams and etch the exterior paint. aua

    Survival 109 build

    Yes I will be mostly 12v dc in the box as well. Wiring some 12 and 110 now. I have been looking for a small 2 to 3k diesel generator for quite some time. Where did you find a Hatz diesel? What HP is it? I really want to stay all diesel for everything. I will be posting my solar panel pics...

    Thanks infidel, glad you like. Shelter will mostly be my "closet". Will start on that when the 109 is (if) done. It will also have at least 90 gallons of fuel capacity and 50 gallons of water on board. I also plan on it being an aux. electrical source with panels, batteries and an additional...

    I'm gonna try to make it, have to see how much I get done on the truck.

    Survival 109 build

    Ice cream truck, that's an idea! Extra cash is always good. Will be most likely using 1/4" plywood or equivalent for interior finish. Wiring will be run in the stock overhead channel and through the grommeted ( spell check?) holes in the structure when possible. May end up with some cable...

    Thanks, been working on it for about 10 months. Have had it since late last May. Took awhile to get started on it. I get on it from time to time, not continuously. Just decided to start the thread and catch up on the build. The winch is welded to the hitch, the hitch is locked to the...

    The only places I need to weld in metal are the under floor area's. No insulation there. Will be removing the wood floorboards first.
