As an FMCA member, it is easy to see what the vehicle manufacturers deemed towable 4 wheels down for the last two decade.
Just go to https://fmca.com/
Log in.
Click on "Magazine" then on "Towing Guides"

Many Subarus with manual transmissions were towable 4 wheels down. NO automatics.
In fact, for the 2004 model year, all Subarus with manual transmission were listed as towable four wheels down in the FMCA towing guide.

If you are an FMCA member, here is the 2003 towing guide: https://fmca.com/images/stories/pdf/towing_03.pdf
Yes, it requires logging in.

UPDATE, 5 pm, Pacific time, Friday, APRIL 10
Gary is still in ICU, going on three weeks now in a Seattle area hospital. He is heavily sedated and on a ventilator, and continues to be in critical but stable condition. The drugs have kept him pretty much out of it, so he is not communicative with anyone. Please post a get well message in the comments. -
Actually, nothing in your coach works on 6 VDC.
Those 6 VDC batteries are wired in SERIES, so two in series make 12 VDC. Just think of it as a "12 VDC battery in two pieces".
And, if four 6 VDC batteries each pair will then be wired in PARALLEL.
This is a very common battery bank configuration.

Agree. Here is what we have used in all our motorhomes and sailboats for 20+ years: https://lifelinebatteries.com/products/rv-batteries/

rickrasmussen,
Welcome to the FMCA Forum.
What gauge wire are you running from coach chassis battery to toad battery? Both positive and ground?
Have you measured voltage at the toad battery with the coach engine running?
I am asking, because a 30 amp breaker (and of course wire sized to convey it) should well more than keep up with your toad's energy requirements.

Cindygail12,
Welcome to the FMCA Forum.
What Elantra are you wanting to tow-- what year and manual or automatic?
BTW, for may years we towed a 2014 Huyundai Elantra manual transmission-- a very good toad and easy to set up.
-
Yup, need more FACTS.
Axle weights as you drive (motorcycle onboard) in addition to other requested information. A severely underloaded front axle can result in significant handling issues.
Thanks.

Invent1,
Yes, welcome to the FMCA Forum.
Please tell us what make and model chassis you have and how many miles are on it.
Any suspension components not original? Any wear in the suspension?

WHAT CABIN FEVER???????????????

Ya, best "low speed control" vehicle I had was a 1966 GMC PU with V6 (ya the 305 CID HD truck engine V6) and a granny 4 speed. Did a valve job on it, and the heads on that V6 were heavier than a 427. Can you say 0-9 MPH in first gear. Bought it for $125 in 1976 with a broken front suspension (right front wheel horizontal) and gore hole in passenger's door from where a bull ran into it. Spend another $150 and Dianne and I drove it from Houston to Haines Alaska in 7 days.

I have NO idea if the buyer of this coach that had a fire will be parting it out or rebuliding it.
But 2004 Cummins ISL with 67,000 miles on it-- video of it running:
https://www.crankyape.com/default.asp?pg=DispSingleItem&ItemNumber=92659
Whole coach sold for $7,050.
May be worth a call to see if it sold to someone who is going to part it out.

Was that .2 VDC drop with the hydraulic pump running?? That is almost too good.
-
14 minutes ago, f442485 said:Yup. I have been dealing with this for about 2 years. I did find a bad ground and repaired it but that did not correct the problem.
With this in mind, have you checked voltage at the pump when someone activates the leveling system. Yes, it sounds like a hydraulic issue, but verifying that voltage at the pump stay above 12.0 VDC is a reasonable, quick check.

OK, if you just park it and do not dump air OR deploy jacks and one side goes down over time, there is a slow leak in that side's air bag, line to ride height valve or the ride height valve itself.
Soap in a spray bottle will likely show the leak. If going under the coach, make sure you have safe clearance (like drive the coach up on 2X12's) or use safety stands.
-
Is that a pin, rivet, bolt, other securing the gas spring in the track?
If either end can be released, the other end can likely be unscrewed.
-
Air leveling?
Jack leveling?
What leveling brand and model?

I have NOT worked on an Onan carburetor-- but have on lots of other one barrel carbs (think Solex, SU, etc). Very likely the idle circuit is different than the load circuit-- at least they are different on automotive carbs.
Hopefully someone with hands on Onan carb experience will chime in.

Thanks for the information, TheBogans and welcome to the FMCA Forum.

Steve,
Welcome to the FMCA Forum.
If that 38 hours in 9 years is anywhere close to accurate, a VERY high likelihood that the carburetor is gunked up and needs either an overhaul or replacement.

1 hour ago, Jerry1938 said:If all the fuel related responses do not solve your problem, you may have the some thing I experienced about 3 years ago. Same as yours, the generator would start and then die. Finally took it to Onan and found the engine temperature sensor had broken. Replaced and started up immediately! Sensor is at the right rear of the engine on top of the coolant manifold. Technician stated that Onan had experienced a lot of the same failure.
Jerry
Was this temperature sensor on a gasoline Onan genset like the OP's or a diesel???

Have you weighed the axles with coach loaded as you travel including motorcycle? That and the GAWRs from the weight sticker would be very helpful.
