MadTaco Build

Opened for shade.

 

Pain to mount or setup? Looks like a great amount of coverage!

 

Pain to mount, because of the weight. Very easy setup and storage. You don't need the legs, I just wanted to see it all together.

 

Norhing big, but I installed an exterior power plug for my fridge on my shell today. This was ordered from Germany.

 

I miss my Tacoma, but I have seen a couple rigs out here that I like.

 

Hey Phessor, I need your expertise on the CS144, I think I got the wrong one(online order of course) I’ve read so many threads about which motor size and with or without heated windshield, etc…
Do you know what the actual AC Delco part number is?
This is what I got:


Looks like this from the back:


I’m pretty sure that I got the wrong one, it looks like the whip is the wiring for the windshield heater, but it looks like it is in the wrong spot, and could potentially create a clearance issue? More investigation looms.

I got this picture from: think the three post plug is similar to the one I bought but is just located in the wrong spot?

Beyond all that temps are in the mid 40’s (high) and getting down into the teens overnight if it is clear. Definitely fall now, colors on the decline, it’s been rainy last couple weeks..
Thanks

 

I can't remember what my part number was, I'm currently out of the country for awhile.

But mine doesn't look like either one of yours pictured.

Mine looks more like the top on without the wire loom.

 

I think I finally found the correct one it’s an ACDELCO 3351049 Gold. Have to wait for the returned one-to Rock Auto- is received so I can use my credit and get it shipped to Mt.
Chilling in Teslin village tonight, get a few pic posted next week when I get to Montana.

 

Did you move to Colorado?
I noticed your profile changed.

 

Yes I'm stationed at Fort Carson now.

 

Nice! Hopefully your enjoying our warm spell this week.

 

Nope!
My power steering filter failed today. It was not fun bypassing it in a Lowes parking lot in -2° weather.

 

External filter?

 

Yes, not sure why I added the inline filter. But it was the failure point yesterday. Cracked and then leaked out its life juices in sub zero weather.

 

I forgot to mention that I upgraded to an OVRLND camper.

I then mounted my OVS 270 awning, shower curtain and Roadshower.



Started my solar and power distribution panel with shore power.



I'm using my old drawer system with a new tilt-slider for my refrigerator.


More to come...

 

New Camper looks good!
I always liked the look and design of those campers.

 

I see why the Prinsu is to be sold off...new setup looks awesome!

 

Thank you.

I was hoping to use part of it, but nope.

 

Yea damn, seems like you would hardly be able to fit the fairing with the space in front of the camper. Too bad. Would have been the first 1st gen with a chopped Prinsu etc with a camper.

 

I finished the main wiring on my power distribution panel.
