Those Host Super C's are really cool. Nice setup! How long have you had it?

Hi BTG,
It will be 2 years coming up in June. I have replaced all the tires, and replaced the inverter with a Xantex 3000W PSW, have done some engine work, AFE Cold Air and I installed a coolant filter kit. I heard the sand from the casting when the engines are built is very tough on the EGR coolers and is never 100% flushed during manufacturing, I installed a tire pressure monitoring system, stable loads (they worked great for awhile) I just ordered a set of rear Air Lifts and the setup for this truck is about 1 1/2 times the size of the bags for my 1 ton. Installed Cat's Eye rear tire equalizers. As with most RV's, they are heavier on one side than the other and mine especially so with the under chassis storage. After I installed the TPMS I noticed the right rears always got hotter and had higher air pressures than the left rear and the inside pressures would always be very different than the outside dual's. Cat's Eye explains this in technical detail, due to brakes, less cooling of the inner duals, etc and the outer tire and inner tire end up being slightly different diameters through this heating and expansion process of running down the interstate. I have had one blowout and do not want to go through that again so I study tire characteristics to do my part to head off and avoid another damaging blowout.

I have just began my solar panel research and want to install an array this year. Since I work for a heavy equipment dealer I can buy the best batteries at a discount so I am looking at the 8D size batteries (possibly, haven't made that decision yet) and I will most likely go with Lifeline Batteries due to the design and structure of the interior of the battery.
