Hey Forrest. Fleet mechanic here. You can buy breakers at Napa auto parts or most auto parts stores in the 250-300A range. Get a marine grade one if its going to be outside the van. That way if it trips you can just reset it instead of waiting for a new fuse.

@@cheapcigs9772 I have an Icecool JP50 with a Danfoss compressor. Used as a refrigerator to cool things to 36 degrees from 75 ambient temperature, it uses about 8 watts per hour on average. I can run it for a week on a 120Ah battery. It may use more in warmer conditions and/or used as a freezer. Figure on maybe 12 watts in a worst-case scenario, which would be 1 amp per hour.

You have gone through such a transformation since the stealth days when you were working in the factory. Your personality has bloomed and the crock pot was a real turning point. Just an idea to toss your way ... think about making an extension on to your bed. You can store the platform under your mattress when in cot mode and make a 2 pillow cushions as a back support for your cot/ mattress for bed extension. Get the idea?😉

Normally, the sensors associated with that error message have a charging range they are preprogrammed to operate within. If the charger ranges goes below (or possibly above) that factory determined range, the error message with show up. I would look at the sensor or voltage regulator and see if you can find perimeters for it on the google.

Was looking for someone's input on this (since I have none). Now that I've read this, I also wonder if a reputable mechanic with OBDII could reset and update those parameters since it's an oem alternator. Or, in FF style, just get said mechanic to say it's no big deal and live with the new ticker on the dash.

@@iammarkstewart first...I'm not a mechanic... but I think the real solution is a hardware swap. Most of the sensors/regulators are wired with resistors/capacitors/etc that are all analog. Summit racing or other aftermarket vendors may have an upgraded sensor/regulator (whatever the offending thing is) that can both cope with a beats of an alternator, and a factory chevy van computer.

Loved the Home Depot jingle in the intro. Well done Forest, Just an idea but how about drilling a bunch of holes in your plywood platform to potentially warm your mattress up? Instead of warming below it would then be able to move up and warm that pad you sleep on. But the snorkel and re-vent may work better. Who knows? Keep experimenting. And I would suggest adding insulation under the diesel heater, insulate the floor area and side wall under the sleeping platform. Remember heat flows from a high to a low. Cheers
