    Topper Identity?

    I recently picked up a military hard sided canopy that I’m unable to identify which trailer it matches with based on the ID tag. Doesn’t seem to be alot of information out there on this specific model. Does anyone have any good intel? Model: 1651 Serial number: E0121H05 Manufactured date: Oct 2004

    one 24volt alternator modification, m1010

    Lavarok, thanks for the diagram. Please correct me if I'm wrong. Conducting a 12volt conversion in the diagram you have drawn would be a matter of connecting the two positives at the duvac, removing the duvac, wire the batteries in parallel, replace the 24volt, and replace the starter?

    one 24volt alternator modification, m1010

    . Lavarok thank you for your response. I'm positive that it's a 24 volt alt. The batteries are wired in series. The duvac is getting 24 volts on the entering terminal and 12 volts at the exiting terminal. Attached is a photo of the duvac model number
