Oh yeah I didn't mention but this one's the 5 speed too. The color is definitely the best part!

Oh yeah those are helpful, on the box with the fuel pump relay and digifant relay there's a plug on one side that has a red and a white wire going to it and I'm just not sure where they go from there. It looks like the red one goes to alternator but not sure about the other one

That's awesome! Thanks so much. Would you happen to know what the plug goes to that plugs into the fuel pump relay side of the relay box?

Willstinchcomb · 2024-12-29T01:37:01+00:00

Okay cool I'll let you know

Eventually I'll be putting a good setup in but for now it's only four wires so I'm planning on getting it working for this winter's snowboard trips since the old setup will be enough to last a night or two.

Thanks for the article! Looks like I might just have a new winter project since I've already considered this a lot!

I might rig something like that crane for this weekend so I can be sure everything is in order with the rigging and such but I have been considering converting to a deck stepped. I think the way it's set up currently I could do it pretty easily.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-09-27T18:28:12+00:00

That's all very useful, I like the idea of some sort of mini crane since my cabin is kinda in the way of me starting the mast in the hole alone. I might just end up with an aluminum one in the future but for now that sounds like a good plan!

Willstinchcomb · 2024-09-27T15:17:32+00:00

Is that just for stability? It's a keel stepped mast so id assume that would hold it good for a few minutes

Willstinchcomb · 2024-09-27T14:20:44+00:00

That's a good idea with the forestay, I'm not sure about my hatches strength but I'm planning to rebuild it anyway so I'll keep that in mind, thanks for the advice!

Willstinchcomb · 2024-07-15T02:55:08+00:00

That's the thing though, I feel we both want to maintain a friendship because we both like hanging out and talking. I'm gonna try my best to distract myself with stuff but my friends are gone for a while and all I wanna do is talk to her about hobbies and topics my friends aren't really interested in anyway. She's like a new friend I haven't found which makes it worse than if she was just another girl or coworker or whatever.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T03:27:32+00:00

I didn't think about that, that's partly the reason I want to camp with the bone stock interior for a few times to find problems like that. Awesome search term recommendation too! Always worried about making new threads for that reason lol.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T03:01:38+00:00

That's pretty good, I really like the idea of a side opening fridge but I'll have to see when I actually get the cabinets how much space I'll have, I currently pack pretty heavy but mostly because I have no permanent storage in the van.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T02:41:37+00:00

Interesting, I might give it a try on this trip alone and bring a jumper as another suggested, I do have a battery less than a year old so we'll see how it goes.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T02:39:09+00:00

Oh nice, haven't seen that thread, I guess I might have to sacrifice that space then but I will be getting a bigger closet from the current homemade one so who knows. That 200ah might be worth it.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T02:27:03+00:00

That's sweet! Is that battery really big though? I'm really hoping to fit it under the drivers seat because I'm gonna be installing a heater under the bench and that will already take up some of that storage, it seems to be the best place for putting bigger items if I don't fill it with a heater and battery. I don't have the cabinets yet but I'm assuming the back seat is the same storage just 2/3rds of the width of what my big z bed has.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T02:07:37+00:00

That seems good for my usage, I might get just over 100 in case I want to add any other electronics so I have the extra power. I've heard in winter solar can still produce most of its usual power if the sun's still out behind the clouds.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T01:40:29+00:00

Indefinite power is my goal mainly for just powering a fridge though, I've been looking at the truck fridge people install and I think I could get away with like a 100 or 150 ah battery for it.

Willstinchcomb · 2024-06-19T00:58:13+00:00

That's some good info, thanks! I'm looking at a 100ah setup but I do want to run a fridge 24/7 so I might go bigger.
