Re: Awning brackets for voyager top
I have the voyager top. I'll measure the gutter space tomorrow and report back.
As for bolting directly to the top: The fiberglass thickness and strength should be the same as a crusier, so if...

Re: The Ultimate And Affordable RV Heating System
Absolutely, and please keep 'em coming!
I'm giving up on the radiant concept though. Did some more research, and apparently the average radiant system puts out 18-25 btu's/sqft. Only the very best...

Re: The Ultimate And Affordable RV Heating System
Interesting find.
According to their literature, the maximum possible temperature rise of the floor with their system is 15*f (less 6* if you have carpet = 9*), and you must have R13 insulation...

Re: 12V only versus 12V/120V fridge
Yes, I think these may be worth a look too. The drawer box design prevents all the cold air from falling out (like on the front loaders) each time you open. That's gotta help with keeping the run...

Re: 12V only versus 12V/120V fridge
Exactly, I'm shooting for a large fridge/freezer combo. Prefer combo to separate units for compactness and I imagine better efficency. I also want the freezer compartment to be on the large size, as...

Re: 12V only versus 12V/120V fridge
So to conclude: A dual voltage 12v/120v fridge is better than a 12v only fridge, because it spares your batteries and your food, whenever you have access to shore power - Correct?

With the extra weight of the Cooper's, have they been difficult to balance? Any...

Re: Cheap Lift For a 2wd
Thank you! This may be my best option for now. Any idea how I can positively identify the # rating of my front springs?
265 tires are pretty close to 32". That combined with the stronger springs...

Re: Cheap Lift For a 2wd
Not sure, but the radius arms are not the problem on the 2wd van. It's the twin I-beam axel arms that are mounted transversely in front of the cross-member. The design induces a scissor-like motion...

Re: Cheap Lift For a 2wd
Ok, nevermind. I just studied the front end and think I've answered my own question. It looks like any attempt to raise the springs or use longer ones, is going to throw off the static camber, due to...

Re: Cheap Lift For a 2wd
Yup, same as a RB.
So there's no other way to lift the front suspension, not even 2", other than a coil and camber kit for $2k? - I'm guessing the problem is with the I-beams messing up the camber...
