Re: Coleman 9000 Low Profile AC

Re: Coleman 9000 Low Profile AC

I just installed the coleman 9200 low profile in my van a week ago. Upgraded from a 5,000 btu unit I mounted in the side window. I don't know why I waited so long to do it. I don't have a pop top on...

Re: So.....I smoked a couple of antelope

It was the stock Chevy bumper. It is amazing there wasn't more damage after seeing how flimsy it was. I live in South Dakota and work in Wyoming, commuting 100 miles each way, and staying in the...

Re: So.....I smoked a couple of antelope

Oh, forgot the last part of your question. I believe the final weight of the bumper was around 160 lbs.

Re: So.....I smoked a couple of antelope

Ron, the bumper was $1,575 installed. I ordered it through a local aftermarket parts store and there was a mix up on the year. Manufacturer thought it was for a 2008, then realized it was for a...

So.....I smoked a couple of antelope

Yup, just getting off work, on the interstate at dusk when I see two antelope crossing the road. My choices were the 7-10 split or take one dead center. I chose the 7-10 split. The 7 bent up the...

Re: Honda Generator and Portable Air Conditioners.

Sure thing. Right now it is just a prototype. I used a piece of 1/4" thick lexan. You can see where I cracked it the first time I tried to put in the AC. I have since cut the opening a little...

Re: Honda Generator and Portable Air Conditioners.

I bought a Frigidaire 5,000 btu, 515 watt unit at Lowe's. I just tried starting it with my Honda EU2000i in eco mode and it pulled the load just fine. Kicking out of eco until the compressor...

Re: Honda Generator and Portable Air Conditioners.

I have two 2000 watt Honda generators that I parallel to run the 13,500 btu AC in my 31' camper. I bought a 5,000 btu window unit for my van which pulls 500 watts. I think I may be able to run it...

Re: Hensley hitch for towing

Try this link. Airstream forums has more information than you will want, but you can always stop reading when your eyes get bleary.

Re: Furnace removal

I guess I don't follow the logic in replacing a dedicated RV furnace with a portable propane heater in hopes of it being safer. All campers that use propane inside should have a propane alarm and it...

Chevy Express towing mirrors

Does anyone have information on towing mirrors that will fit an '02 Chevy Express? I would prefer factory style extending mirrors rather than the clip on style. Possible to adapt units from a...

Re: What propane tank?

saabman, if you look at the first picture you will notice a hole in the side of the channel with white paint around the hole. I used an 1-1/2" hole saw. This allowed me to get a nut and washers in...

Re: What propane tank?

Mike,
I finally got my tank installed. Once I got over the mental block of putting such a large tank under the van it went pretty well. Two of the body main channels had holes that matched the...

Re: Short time lurker with questions

I tried the foam pillows but they didn't fit the Fantastic Fan for beans. I haven't found it necessary to put a shade on it even when I'm on night shift and sleeping during the day. I also crack...

Re: Short time lurker with questions

saabman,

Here are a few shots of the fan. Installation is fairly easy once you get past cutting a large hole in the roof of your van. Just make sure you are not cutting through any structural...

Re: Short time lurker with questions

OK, time to update the build process with some new pictures. I finished the ceiling with some 1/8" white coated masonite. It's the same stuff you use for dry erase boards. At first I didn't think...
