Don't have time to dig all the research I did out as on the road. I do remember they are the number 2 rated on Consumer reports Michelin was number 1. I got great service from the ones on my CR-V. I had a article that they are a top tire in Europe and a gut feeling. We will see how they run, so far they are excellent. Bill

I believe the brakes on the tow dolly will be enough. I used a tow dolly on one trip to Canada and had no problem. Bill

Welcome to the forum. Thanks for your service. Bill

Yes. Bill

Let me help you Carl, If you are off the grid and you run the generator it will pass 110 through and not draw 12 V off the batteries to make 110V. Hence the statement "It will also pass 110 through if it is available." Bill

I tow a 2014 CR-V easy and I don't know it is back there. Bill

Steve, I bet he just let it cykle through the fill cycle to bleed out the air. Bill

Yes it is Carl. It will also pass 110 through if it is available. Bill

Yep $500.00 each is what I payed for Continentals. I generally think they are a better tire. Bill

Well maybe. One side is 110 only and the side the icemaker plugs into is powered by the inverter. Otherwise you couldn't make ice cubes when on gas and no shore power. Test it with all 110 off, shore power /generator check both outlets with a meter (make shure your inverter is on). Let me know what you find. Bill

I would be more concerned about the floor plan. Either roof will work if properly maintained. Bill

Did you know you can have Blue Ox rebuild/refurbish your towbar at a FMCA rally for about $30.00? I have had a couple of them done. Bill

While it is important to monitor engine temps. I keep a close eye on EGT temps as they can rise much quicker than engine temps. You hear about the super hills the super steep ones but I have seen over temp on long gradual climbs. My first experience was going from the Grand Canyon toward Vagus. I was running on cruise and all of a sudden had warnings for high engine temp. While I was able to maintain speed in 6th gear on cruise the computer was all in trying to maintain that speed. It was like you were driving with your foot flat on the floor to maintain speed. I slowed a little manually shifted down to 4th and the temps started to drop. When they were acceptable I tried 5th and drove the rest of that section in 5th. This is to show not all over temp problems happen on super steep hills. Bill

Well if it is 13.4 V not 134 V it shouldn't be a problem. I would want to know why that circuit breaker is causing a problem. Bill

Some of the newer super"C" coaches have that as a option in the longer ones. I think I remember a Jayco with that option. Bill

Like Carl said, just remember to shift up once you get to the top of the hill or the grade improves where you can pull/accelerate in a higher gear. You want to go back to 6th gear(selected) at the top. Next timeout try experimenting a little, you will get the hang of it easy enough. Bill

Welcome to the forum. There are people who offer that service (pressure washing inside the tank) They were at a rally I was at last year, so that is an option if you can locate someone in your area. I would try a easeyer method of using one of the commercial tank cleaning/dissolving chemicals and add some Calgon water softener fill it full of water and let it set for a few days. You may need to do this a couple of times depending on condition. Bill

Welcome to the forum. I would find out what your 2 most important RPMs are peak torque and max governed RPM. When climbing you want to stay at or above peak torque and under your Max governed speed. When you are climbing you want to be in a gear you can accelerate in. Said anouther way if you can't accelerate or hold speed you need to downshift till you can. You may not be the first to the top but you will make it just fine. I have often had more problems with slower traffic on hills where you can't get around them safely. Then you just have to slow down and enjoy the view. I doubt you will be able to tell you are towing so that shouldn't be a factor. Bill

Rick, did your old refrigerator have an ice maker? Bill

Walmart has them too. Bill

After you check your fuel preshure I would run a couple tanks with a rich mix of Diesel Kleen. See if that helps the idle and general performance. Bill

No, but all the ones I have had hands on experience with were just a solenoid that when engaged made contact between the 2 cables. Yes someone probably makes one with a diode to limit/make the current flow directional but I see no benefit to doing it that way. The whole premise is if one set of batteries are low you can use the outhe to boost them. Let me know what you find. Bill

Yes it works both ways, the switch is a momentary switch so you need to hold it down. Bill

I just plugged into the outlet that was for the icemaker. Bill

Well yes and no as the quality varies greatly as others have said. Just for fun and reference go find a used pre 2007 Holiday Rambler, Monaco, Safari, Country Coach or Foretravel and I will add Newmar Try both the diesel and gas. The newer gas coaches with the 6 speed may be all you need. As far as I know all the newer gas coaches are Ford V10 powertrains. Bill
