    Had to modify the wall behind the driver to fit a full seat. And yes, that's a 110 AC unit. No AC was in this truck. 20171022_095125.jpg

    The 110ac system. Inverter is the shore piwer, gen is...gen. I can remote start from the cabin, switch off master power to inverter, then RV switch takes over. 20171022_100749.jpg

    Nax, yes. Sold the old diesel Onan for $1k, bought this for 1600. Has a nice remote start. Quieter too. Plumbed off the tanks.

    I would convert it to pull 53' trailers? That would make it more versatile. Spec it for 53' and then pull anything in between.

    I've heard lots of back and forth on the 8V92TA. It's the silver version which is heads and tails better over the green. Is it more maintenance? Yeah. But I believe if I stay on top of it. It will last as long as any other motor.
