I've installed four MRCOOL unit's to date, including replacing the *entire central A/C system in my late mother's former home.* Best of all on that one, her old system used a 10kW resistance heater strip for heat. The replacement MRCOOL is able to heat down to -24°F, so no need for a resistance heater coil. My mom's electricity consumption was cut in half! MRCOOL systems rock!

I was just thinking about this. It's small enough to get into a lot of places that bigger water haulers can't get to. either beef up or add stand alone air compressor system and electrical system to consider running a welding box or air tools, extra fuel storage maybe, then a big 'ol water tank and pump system. maybe a winch or two for recovery options. then you have a robust repair or fab support truck with a lot of water available as well, an all in one utility for offgrid neighbors or friends. power, water, tool support - it'd have it all!

Now's the time to modify the LMTV bed with some brackets. you can keep the dump bed on it, it'll make it easier to load/unload things on it. Make some mounting brackets for a fire suppression tank, grass sprayer, welder/generator, etc. Turn it into a tool/emergency truck since it's so reliable. And since you don't need it to be a dump truck anymore, you can mount brackets all around the bed without having to clean it out all the time. It'll be perfect for taking supply trips also, and helping the neighbors out in the winter.
