Re: Wind flexes the roof on cab
GeoBoy wrote: If your 2007 is the old style, the roof flexing happens when the drivers window is down. If you have a extended or crew cab you can eliminate the flexing by opening the rear windows. The newer GM’s have reinforcing ribs to stop the flexing. Thanks, your absolutely correct, I only hear it with the drivers window down, apparently the cab slightly holds pressure and keeps the cab from flexing. I'll try the opening of the rear window next trip. Also the Airtab thing is interesting. Maybe I can rig up a drywall ceiling support, that might do it. :R237Views0likes0CommentsWind flexes the roof on cab
Hello, I have a 2007 Chevy 3500 Classic extended cab, 2009 AR 990. There is about an 8 inch gap between the cab-over and top of truck roof. Speeds above 50 I hear and feel the top of the cab flexing slightly from wind. Any ideas how to stop this, do you think a bug deflector may change the wind pattern to stop it. My 2000 F350 didn't have this problem, the distance was closer though. Thanks,920Views0likes4CommentsRe: Onan gen, solar charge voltage

If you replaced yours, where did you get it? Thanks! Hello, yes the hour meter was bad, I replaced the whole control board, it was close to the same price as the meter. bought on eBay $39 http://www.ebay.com/itm/Onan-RV-Generator-Remote-Switch-Panel-With-Digital-Hour-Meter-028-00022-/292118679664?hash=item4403a15070:g:XXAAAOSw4GVYM1dV&vxp=mtr391Views0likes0CommentsRe: So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

Not sure why but the camera monitor would have static only when bolted to panel. maybe ground loop caused by negative wire and negative camper body having different potentials. thanks for Towpro getting back, even after i insulated the camera with the rubber mount it still gets slight static. if i change the angle or slightly touch the camera the static goes away. The camera has a metal base so I suppose a plastic camera housing wouldn't have a problem. I chose the one I have because of the adjustablity. thanks, mark517Views0likes0CommentsRe: So what did you do to your Truck Camper today?

I enlarged the porch switch to hold two switches so I could turn of the transmitter when not needed. The porch and running lights are located on a panel, there's a cavity behind so easy to install the camera and wires, the switch is directly behind the where camera is mounted. 2- I installed two diodes so to use two 12v inputs for the reverse wire to the backup monitor(or radio). A switch in dash to turn while driving and the reverse wire output wire to backup lights. Without diodes the reverse lights would come on when dash switch is on. I hope this helps anyone trying to install a backup camera with WiFi.It took me awhile to figure out a clean installation, (my best friend helped me, last name is -Internet, first name is- The) :) An update, I had to mount the camera onto a piece of think rubber to insulate the camera from the metal panel, then screw the rubber to the panel..
