    starter relay question

    Ok just one stud and I figured makes sense for biggest first so I will go battery to relay, then relay to starter, then relay to alternator,  and then the hazards. Wasn't sure on the stars because some say because the rings are all different the stars make better contact. It all worked either...

    basic battery question, or not so basic.

    For now I am still setting up power. If I keep the constant duty what amp should I use? I will have 12v 400w solar with possible upping in future. If it matters I am running a 440 with sniper efi. Have to check what the starter and alt are. Thank you all for the valuable info. All info is...

    basic battery question, or not so basic.

    Thank you all for the input. I am still gathering info on this before I commit to anything. It is a slow expensive work in progress. Figuring out no matter what I need on this motor home (76 Superior 2900) I have to search everywhere and then still have to use my imagination to fix things...

    basic battery question, or not so basic.

    Right now the way it is wired it has 1 cable going from starter relay to solenoid then from the same terminal a cable goes to the positive on the battery, the second terminal has a wire going to the frame, the 3rd terminal has a cut wire to no where and the 4th terminal is empty. The house...

    basic battery question, or not so basic.

    Not sure where this fits so it is here for now. I am remodeling/rewiring a 76 superior and came to a dilemma. I have removed all the house wiring and will be running it completely separate from the starting batteries. My question is do I really need the constant duty solenoid since the battery...

    fixing floor minor questions

    Sounds good to me. Still wondering should I glue between the plywood? Some say yes for strength and others say no glue so the overlay has some give separate from the subfloor that is attached to the metal joist.  Also do I need some type of water barrier between the plywood and flooring or is...

    fixing floor minor questions

    On our 76 superior the floor was one of those things that the farther you get the more you say "did they really do that? Really?? First I took up the t&g wood laminate floor. Under that was the "really?" part. On the plywood subfloor they had painted over top of pieces of carpet padding, rusty...
