Will do when I set it up.

Upgraded the headlight to LED. Uses less power and 3x to 4x brighter. Will help offroad at night for sure.

Getting ready for a 4 night camping trip to Ocala NF next week. Pulled the CTC into the driveway and decided to add the Freshwater tank sensor to the holding tank and the gage to the panel. Works great. The dial goes on and off with the pump switch above it.


Image

Image

I had to stand off the gage about a half inch as the rod was just a little too long and I realized this after I had installed everything but the sensor which I thought I ordered to the correct size. In any case, this worked just fine and did not affect the linearity so it appears.

I sealed the wood so water will not affect it if splashed and I made a compression gasket with some mat foam. Should work fine. The tank is not under pressure.. just want to prevent any leaking due to water being sloshed around.

Image

I added a similar gage to the graywater tank last season.

Thanks Hank. Still breathing. Lol

Ian came by here , but was weakened significantly. We even missed most of the rain because we were on the Eastern side when it passed by. Very fortunate for me.

Hope all is well with you.

Had an awesome camping trip in Ocala National Forest. Weather was good and got in alot of riding.

Going to do it again in a few weeks! Really enjoying the CTC. Not much else I can think of that I need to do to it.

Sorry, I'm behind in your build. Very nice job, it's going to be nice.

I may have missed it, but how does the condensation from the A/C drain out?

And, how does the air intake to the left side of the unit draw air from the side vent in the wall to the right of the unit?

Thanks, I like the idea of a hidden window unit.

Thanks, I like the idea of a hidden window unit.[/quote]Hi. The condensation drips through a small vinyl tube I connected to the drain pan. The tube exits through the floor in the appliance stack.

As for the airflow on intake and exhaust, I used 3/4 inch polystyrene foam board along with aluminum duct tape and isolated the intake (sides) from the exhaust (back end). The air is drawn through the side vent and forced out the back side. For all intentional purposes, the AC thinks it is hanging out a window.

Hope this helps.

Camping trip to ONF next week may be in jeaporardy due to soon to be Hurricane Nicole. May have many trees down there. In any case, all hunkered down for a hurricane again!
