Are they really made by Iceco? I agree the RV45S looks A LOT like the Iceco VL45 -- with one big exception: the compressor. Iceco gets their rep because they use the same (5-year warranty) Danfoss/Secop compressor as the big names. Whereas, SetPower promotes a (3-year warranty) Huayi compressor...
LOL, the price of everything has gone up. I appreciate this. I did the Tees with OEM parts last year. I'm probably going to do the radiator at some point this year as preventative maintenance. I'll go for the valve at that point if I don't find an excuse to get in there sooner. (edit: And thanks...
Sal, do you remember if you went OEM on the heater valve? And if so, where'd you sourced that baby. You list cost at $30 for the job, but those valves seem to be $70+. Also, how'd your heater valve look? I did the tees last year (130k mi) and they looked pretty good (nothing broken or visible...
Thanks. I don't think you need to retest for me but if you run across something new, please share. Otherwise, it sounds like both types can work well, I just have to decide whether I lean toward absolute efficiency (no timer) or convenience. I appreciate the info!
I've been using OsmAnd+ for a few months and it seems pretty good. Android and iOS. I'm using it in conjunction with Avenza (for my local geo/pdf maps like MVUM). The Openstreets maps are great and the layers and routing offerings are decent. It's a little clunky UI-wise, but it seems even the...
Perfect. I was planning to make one for the end of summer but sheesh, even these are banned some places here right now. I guess I have my winter project. I'll probably run it off 1# bottles most of the time, but it'd be nice to have multiple days on one larger bottle for extended trips. Thanks...
What an awesome build. You just added another major project to my running list ;-). I may have missed it -- what's the length of your interior sleep space after the storage etc was added?
Lots of good info in this article, and the comments. I'm starting to remember the process from when I looked into it. Under 25 years is possible IF you can get a letter from the manufacturer stating the vehicle meets all US emissions and safety requirements. From the comments, someone was able...
I've actually bought a couple cars out of state over the years. My local Montero experience made me think that wouldn't work because they've become "hot" lately and sell too quickly to do the remote buyer thing. But the fact that the Sacramento one has been on CL for a while makes me think that...
Weird, I'm not sure how I missed that one. I'll check into it. Thanks. Have you seen it in person or just via Craigslist. Feel free to PM me if you have any info you can share. Thx!
Hey folks -- I started my "overland" journey looking for a one-owner, high mileage GX470. And then I drove a Montero and my plans quickly changed
Since then I've been reading and learning about these sweet trucks and been trying to hunt down a nice one or two owner Gen3, with lowish miles and...
