I purchase mine from Volvo, price was not bad. Old ones were 13 years old and pretty creaked.

Actually mounted to my storage box, sorry. Not sure what I am doing wrong with photo uploader.

My solar is on a board mounted to the back of cab with 2 braces. Had a 75 watt panel not being used purchased a controller and it keeps batteries up each day. Wire is up and leave let it work.

To Chad and all our rally friends we will miss you again this year since this event booked up so fast. We will attend the National rally in KS this Oct. Dennis & Sheri

Took truck into Volvo this week to have the ECU checked since it kept coming up on the dash saying it needed service; no issues found. Was told these trucks often have this happen as a result of seeing a minor voltage issue. Had the shop do a Turbo smoke test looking for leaks; found a few and they are now resealed and one charge hose replaced. Truck performs petter. Lastly had my air bag leveling switch inspected and ride height adjusted. Parts replaced, level set and truck has not gone down (air bags) since last evening. This ended up being a good trip to Volvo. If you have not had a shop do the smoke test on your Turbo system I highly recommend it.

My project list: 1. Weld more steel on the bumper hitch for safety; pulled 25,000 boat last summer and it stressed it. 2. Have Volvo update the ECM; truck recently went dead on road then restarted (display service ECM) 3. Install new exhaust muffler; might attempt to make it "weed burner" 4. Outside lower frame mounted 48" storage box 5. New tires 6 on drives Road trips....

Oh my wheelbase is 300..see my linked picture in footer.

Interested to know how long the 780 Volvo is from bumper to bumper? Also the 760? Are these details on this site? Dennis

The filters are the same ones used on my China made heater that sells for $140, I love these heaters and use it in the basement of my RV when winter camping. Has cut my propane cost in less than half. Facebook has a group that shares information and good resource for fixes.

Tell us what make and model your 2003 charger is; most likely you will be purchasing a smart charger. New smart chargers can be left on 24x7 and will not over charge the batteries most are capable of lead acid, AGM and Lithium types. If you upgrade to AGM budget for a new charger if you do not your old charger will kill the AGM in a few years.

Solar pannel has been the best solution for me using a 75 w panel

I am about to pull the trigger on new seats found Legacy Silver seats sat in them recently and they are way better than the stock ones. Understand I need adapter plates ($80 each) to mount them and do air lines. Are these pretty straight forward to install? No shipping at my Denver Kenwood dealer.

Never touched the leveling arm. Is there one for each axle or only one? Picture would be great or come by it is 60 today need this really bad the east bound guy knows me by name.

It only trips going East and 50% of time it does not trip. Have measured at 13' 4".

I would like to change my rear end air bag height by 2 inches. Can I do so safely and easily? My A/C trips over height sensor at a tunnel I70 but only going east bound. Will my drive line still be within spec?

That is one high dollar seat!

Reminder Brad, let me know what feels good. Thanks Dennis

In conclusion one must purchase a really large 45 foot Toy Hauler in order to pull lots of toys and stuff around the country. Thanks for helping me understand some of the math.....

Thank you, so he really is over weight?

Rick, since I have not yet purchased a Toy Hauler 5er I want to learn how to make sure not to over load in the future. Any chance you can do a spreed sheet? If GVRW of trailer is : 13,600 and Trailer current weight is 11,800 Then: 1,800 available for trailer items. Maybe I am missing something else, is it that a truck axle is over the limit? Dennis

Rick, make me understand how you figured out the trailer was over weight. This is just a learning session for me.

Brad did you take the pictures for Randy? Found them on the resource guide. Can"t wait to get side number two done, maybe next fall.....
