    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    They are brand new. CARA has four 2008 and one 2005 tires that appear brand new with whiskers and no evidence of dry rot; however, I do not feel safe riding on them. The price of the new tires is less than my funeral would cost.

    I converted CARA (1998 M1079) from four to two batteries. Installed replacement MWM air dryer. New tires arrived today. I’m awaiting O-rings to service CTIS when I mount them.

    Rear and Side Mounted Cameras

    I've seen several pics of cab interiors that have multicam video displays of rear and side views. Given my mirrors tendency to rotate so I get excellent views of my door, does anyone have experience with brands that work well and/or brands to avoid?

    260 amp alternator

    My 1998 M1079 with a 2013 box has the stock four battery 12 / 24 volt configuration. What is gained by changing to a single voltage system? What is lost? I plan on putting solar on the roof. Does 12 vs 24 volt solar have advantages / disadvantages. Thanks in advance,

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    E There is about 1/4” of what appears to be rubber in the rectangular cup. Not as thick as what you show in your pic. I think the more material in the cup the less the habitat can safely flex on the frame.

    What have you done to your FMTV or LMTV today

    I wondered why the spare tire lift on my 1998 M1079 would not lower the tire. It appears that the lift was too high when the new box was put on in 2013.

    Where does this attach?

    Sounds like I'll be looking for another heating option. Although the Farmer's Almanac is predicting a cold, wet and icy winter for west Texas.

    My 1998 M1079 has a 2013 Van box. The heater was never hooked up. Any idea where these attach to?

    San Angelo is way hotter than Corpus. It’s worth it to me . It was I’ve been weighing 24v bs 110v AC. I hadn’t thought about both but that is a great idea. Our plan after camper conversion is to drive Angelo to NM and hang out in the mountains a week to ten days. Leave it in long term parking...

    San Angelo is way hotter than Corpus. It’s worth it to me . It was only 104 there today. Must be a cold front blowing in.

    I’ll check tire age when I get home. They appear new but doubt they are.

    I really appreciate everyone’s input. Now about tire pressure for highway driving. My tires say 95PSI. Is that what you are running?
