I had an older Predator generator that was not an inverter type, and lasted us for four years. Wasn't as loud as an older contractor type, and was usable when we needed one for AC. Bought one of...

I drove up from Mississippi to Fairbanks (through Portal, etc.) solo in a van back in '75 (USAF transfer). Back then it had 1,100 miles of dirt road, but I found that it was smoother than new...

I've got one, but did NOT mount it on the roof. Yes, it would be a lot easier, but we travel a lot and stay at many different CGs. Usually I put it on the roof and point it north, but at least 40%...

Better not be that tight. Typical lug nut torque is supposed to be 80 lbs (unless some shop uses only their impact wrench!). I've changed my tires twice now. Both times I jacked one side and took...

What size is your AC? We used to run our old bumper pull and it's 13.5k btu off 15 amps with no problem (still nothing else though). If it's a 15k unit, no way. I can run ours at home on a 20 amp...

Hate to tell you, but almost all manufacturers (especially those in the Thor 'family') do things that will impair air conditioner efficiency. First off is tan or darker trailer colors. Then there's...

Good explanation of the difference. I'll add that you still need to distribute your cargo weight in a 5er so you don't leave pin weight too light. This results in excessive 'chucking'. As an...

Find out what model converter you've got first off. Ours puts out 80 amps and can run the four hydraulic slides just fine. You probably have a 50 amp automatic fuse for your slides anyway and won't...

Our '10 has a round furnace vent in the bathroom floor. I'm pretty certain it's hooked to a duct as our bathroom does get quite warm when the furnace is running. Hasn't been so much as to be a...

It's probably glued to the PVC going to the tank and maybe even to the floor. You'll probably have to grind/cut off the top, maybe just around the edge, to release the pipe and tank. Use something...

We could start and run the 13k btu AC on our old bumper pull with the Yamaha 2400is we had then, but couldn't run the 15k on our Montana. Yamaha also doesn't make the 2400 any more. Don't ask me...

They won't interfere with each other, but I leave my converter breaker off all the time. Just don't need it. I used stainless #10 screws to mount my panels and lots of Dicor.
