THE ADVENTURES MK III - Still doing it my way

That 5th wheel thingy looks like it would cut you wide open if you hit it while working on the truck...

Safety first ....

 

Awesome, thanks a ton. I'll check that when I get the truck back from it's PM on Monday.

I'm surprised SNI didn't try to sell it to me by telling me it would improve my MPG by .002% by making my 5th wheel more aerodynamic

 

Has anyone ever tried routing their APU exhaust through the main exhaust of the truck? I saw this adapter here:

And was thinking about getting that and installing it under one of my muffler stacks. I doubt it would do anything for sound, but it would get that stinky *** exhaust from the little Yanmar with like 8000 hours on it up and away from the poor truck parked next to me... I guess the issue becomes plumbing it in, I'd probably just need a really long piece of small flex exhaust. Plus I wouldn't want it to look (too) rednecked together.

On second thought, maybe I could just drill a hole in the bottom of the elbow that is already there and weld in an elbow like that pre-made adapter has.

 

Remember this discussion from a decade ago that there's not force to make out the top of the stack. So the shop didn't do it.

 

You sure that wasn't for the espar heaters?

 

No it was a old school apu. Our trucks didn't have bunk heaters.

 

Maybe I should just make a mini stack by itself for the APU

 

"Chrome is her favorite color" if yer gonna do it

 

I wouldn't think it would need much force and besides the hot exhaust rises anyway. SNI didn't and still doesn't have apu either Moosc.

 

I wasn't with Schneider 10 years ago. And maybe not apu but I have parksmart on my company truck.
