Oh. In your original post you said hydraulic. Electric is different.

The converter is usually buried in the wall, or some dead space near the control panel. I think your Fusion is a 5th wheel, so it is probably behind a panel in the basement. Again near the control...

The ‘50 amp’ is 50 amps AC. It goes through a converter to make DC, which the pump uses. The converter frequently does not have enough power to run high power stuff like slides and landing gear.

If the seals don’t hold, you pump grease into the shoes and drum. $200 Plus labor to replace. Each wheel. Been there.

I don’t think a zerk fitting and electric brakes go together.

Like BusterBrown said, the bracing from the factory is poor (or POS). I think they use what ever scraps of metal they have laying around, and not much of it.

Bearings and Axle issues

I think there is some confusion between EZ-Lube and Buddy bearings. I have had trouble with the Buddy Bearings ruining brakes. EZ-Lube seems better, but I am gun shy.

One other thing to consider is the cab size. The wheel base of a standard cab is much shorter than a crew cab.

If you are looking for social camping, there are several options. FCRV, Good Sam’s, & FMCA offer camping Clubs/chapters in most States. It is a good way to meet people with similar interests.

I used to fill about 20 gallons for flushing. Then we had a breakdown and spent the night in a dealer’s lot. Was very glad to have the water. Now I carry a little more.

It’s probably a second GFCI. I think the outlet in the basement, next to the TV cable connector is a GFCI. Also check the outlets near the kitchen sink.
