Scott,

Between you and Shooter, there's nothing left for the rest of us to come up with

Scott,

Could you tell me more about the landing gear kill switch? Pics too if you have em?

Thanks,

TC

Sure. Go to the link in my signature, then to the Wildcat power folder, 4th photo shows the switch. I simply put a switch into the landing gear circuit. I has uncomfortable having that outside switch hot all the time. Lots of kids play in the neighborhood, etc. I also wired the front light (the one near the switch) so that it comes on when I turn the inside switch on. That way, I have a visual reminder that my inside switch is on and the outside switch is hot.

So is the box/plate and the toggle switches a Scott-made product, or did you buy that commercially?

The plate is just a small piece of aluminum angle iron, drilled for the switches. Just something I had laying around. Toggle switches are just 20A SPST switches; get em anywhere.

Scott: Is the sewer pipe protection a kit or was it something you made? We have on order a 24LR. When I saw the sewer pipe exposed like that it was a concern to me since we like to go dry camping. Thanks Steve.

I made it. Simply bought some 2" x 1/4" strap, bent it into the correct shape and welded it to the frame. It provides a lot of protection, especially for those of us that spend time at unimproved sites.

Nice work, I never kept track of the cost and am afraid to look back...

Scott: Thanks for the reply. When I get our WC home I will have to look at making a sewer pipe protecton. I Think I will blow up your photo for a closer look Thanks Steve

Let me know if you need more photos. It's a custom fabrication, so measurements probably wouldn't help you out much. But it's not rocket science, just a little welding and bending.

PS: Before I weld on the cat, I disconnect the batteries to make sure nothing is running. Just a precaution.
