Thanks for all the responses, everyone. Who knew (I should have) it could be so complicated?



At this point, I don't have access to the proper gauge wire to put the switch in the positive...

This is all well and good, except, as I have stated previously, it is always preferred to put the disconnect on the ground lead. I believe (though am not certain) that this is because if you put the...

Because I am stubborn, I went for option 3. It appears that one of the ground cables goes directly to the frame. The other ground cable, along with the positive cable, both go to what I assume is...

My understanding is that it's always preferable to do the disconnect on the ground side, though it can be done on the positive side, too. If there was only one ground lead in my setup, I'd just put...

Sikaflex 221

I took my floor to the metal, ground off the rust, used Corroseal on it, then sealed the holes with Sikaflex 221, an automotive caulk. I've used the Sikaflex all over my bus, and I love it. It goes...

My understanding is that the height you can fill your tank to is limited by the height of where your waste intake is. Yes, you could put it in the side, but then you're losing the top 1-4" of...

I took out all my excess wires because I took out the giant heater core/electrical panel that was next to the driver's door. I also ended up re-wiring the rear lights, and re-routing all the wiring...
