I would think that on a van that short, you are going to have to go with a cassette toilet much like you'd see on the Aktiv. The swivel head would allow you to put in a full featured bathroom inside...

I only have 260 watts on the roof of my Travato. It can keep ahead of the refrigerator without any issues. I don't count on it for any serious battery charging. I'm fine with that - it...

I think you guys just enjoy pushing Davydd's buttons. :D

If you don't like this horrible, kludgy ARV system, you can always buy a Roadtrek and save a couple bucks. I hear they're sorta working...

In my Oliver, we installed both 12v and 110v heating pads for my tanks. They come in both flavors. Our thinking was that normally we'd run the pads on 110v at park. When travelling, we'd run on...

Davydd, you've often mentioned you missed out on the 4x4 option.

I don't really think you missed out on anything other than making your van harder to live with and poorer fuel economy. Don't you...

David that can't be right. If you recall, I measured my Onan at 77 decibels (in my shop over a concrete floor) and I thought that was appalling. I don't think that iPhone app is very accurate.

I'd agree if we were talking hydrogen fuel cells. But the development I've been reading about seems to always be LP fueled fuel cells. LP is a product of big oil. So that could change your...

Well, knowing the numbers games Roadtrek likes to play, I doubt 1600Ah is at 12volts.

But regardless of whether it's truly 1600 AH as we would expect, dimensionally that size of a pack would be...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Wow, from that price they must be asking $5,000 for that option alone. Airstream always has high prices on options.

Re: Advancing Alvar

We all have our Unicorns to chase. A project like this can take on a life of it's own and can be self-feeding. You do things to see if they can be done, not necessarily if they need to be done. ...

That is really cool. Wonder if you could retrofit that to a 59K?

Re: Advancing Alvar

I'm sure everyone is interested in seeing the dedicated storage for 2 kayaks and a pizza oven that was talked about. Curious how you get that under bed considering the articulating mechanism and...

Re: Advancing Alvar

I agree that it's a futile effort to try to design a system around running AC. You end up with a huge capacity bank, but still can't run AC much on it. So you have all these amp hours you are...

Re: Advancing Alvar

the smart batteries are still $1299 each. AGM batteries are around $300. You really have to need the space or weight savings to make it worth going that way. The Roadtrek has 8, 6v AGMs - so...

Re: Advancing Alvar

Cool.

While tourists are tapping on your windows, trying to get an autograph, I'll be able to while away the hours undisturbed since obviously a poor, out-of-work bum must be inside. :mrgreen:

Re: Advancing Alvar

Thought ya'll would like that. I think the winches and extra lights cost more than my new van.

I almost called my accountant to see if I could swing one when I saw that list. $8k for a...

What do you guys think of this?

Makes what AdvancedRV is doing look positively cheap in comparison.

Re: Advancing Alvar

If the portable units are any indication, they are. One I looked at today said 15 amps. Couple that with a microwave at around 12 amps, and you are looking at some serious power for just cooking.

Re: Advancing Alvar

I've had one of those AE inflatable kayaks. They work fine. Actually stiffer than you'd think and very light. My problem with them is that it's a snug fit and most of my boating is in very hot...

Re: Advancing Alvar

That is definitely a good way to go. I assume any error codes are seen on the systems display and you can reset.

Looks like a TRC unit.
