Actually, some house battery circuits do not attach to the chassis. Most use both a positive and ground wired to each device. A simple test, a jumper from the negative post of the house batteries to any point on the chassis where it can be attached with a cleaned spot on the chassis. If the devices come alive, then you have actually found the culprit. One of my old coaches, the generator started off of the house batteries, and the only attachment for ground to house battery negative was directly to the generator.

Welcome to the forum. More information is needed to give an accurate answer, are you referring to electric brakes on a trailer, or are you trying to tow an auto, or truck four wheels down. What type of vehicle are you towing with, coach, pickup truck, or? Many knowledgeable people on this forum, but few are mind readers.

Herman, I would love to be, but I have previous commitments. Hopefully next year.

Joe, I love the Traeger grill, we have a tabletop that we carry in a bay of the coach, and have a larger one at home. I can cook 8 ribeyes on the tabletop at one time or 3 baby backs, or two boston butts. The heat is so even, and no flareups because the fire is under a steel plate. The grill uses wood pellets dispensed from a hopper, then fed into a small round open chamber where there is an electric heating rod that ignites the pellets, and a fan forces air into the fire chamber like a forge. Works like a convection smoker oven, we often cook small pizza's for the smoke flavor. You can go online and Google the company for more info. Whoops, almost forgot, chicken, others love it, I don't eat chicken cooked in any form, call me crazy, but my digestive system won't let me. Also, I sear the steaks on the induction cooktop both sides at 475 degrees then finish them off in the smoker grill.

Herman, I did an install in Bristow Ok., back in 2012, the Arkansas river was completely dry in Tulsa that trip. The burn ban was in effect at that time. The power chair hitch is a good idea, that could actually be installed on the toad for transport.

I also use Rhino, but I only buy the ready made ones that have the male and female ends on them just like the valtera type coupling, ie. four pins on the male end, then the female has the locking tabs that you push together then twist the locking tabs onto the pins, have the same setup on the elbow that goes into the sewer at the campground. And as Herman said, there is an o-ring that stays in place on the female coupling. I always get another laugh when watching the movie RV when the helpful neighbors extend the hoses with a Y coupling with no stopper on the third opening.

I have been told for years that Alabama laws exempts boat trailers, and tow dolly's from registration, registration is the issuance of a tag, and paperwork that accompanies that action. After looking up the law here in Alabama, it appears that boat trailers are exempt from registration, but tow dolly's are not exempt since 2009, before that they were. Now I will have to make trip to the courthouse Monday, by the way, a title is not required here for utility trailers, homemade trailers, or tow dolly's, but tags are required. Thanks to the OP for keeping me out of trouble. Kay

Yep, synthetic only, 21.96 per gal on Walmart website. Although you can get the coupons for 1, 2.5, or 5 gallon, and it states $5.00 per gallon.

No reason that it won't work on an RV now that I can see, it's about time.

I would not foresee any problems with flat towing the jeep. I believe if anyone has a problem with smoke from a smoker, they do not understand what camping is all about. I use a Traeger pellet smoker every time I go camping, it usually attracts other campers because it smells so good, and helps keep the mosquito's away. LOL Like others though, I use a tabletop version for portability, can grill a great tasting steak, or pulled pork, or the best tasting babyback's around.

Don't know why anyone needs a swivel coupler, just more for something to go wrong with. I use a couple of the 15 footers when necessary, but just plain twist together, never have a problem.

How much does the grill weigh?

I could not find a picture, but check out this website. http://www.tincantourists.com/wiki/doku.php?id=chinook

Look up Erniee, under this thread: Replacing Motorhome Flooring

Are you using a concentrator, or bottled, or both? If using a concentrator primarily, I would suggest that you have a good reliable UPS unit at least 1300 va that you should keep the concentrator plugged into at all times, this is true even at home. If bottled, the availability of your rx could be a concern, making sure that it is available wherever you are going, most major cities, this probably will not be a problem, but some of the smaller ones, I can fore see a slight problem. Other than those I don't believe there will be any major concerns. And, welcome to the forum. Kay

What does the state of your licensing say about this matter? The question needs that information in order to give an accurate answer. I believe that reciprocity does apply in this case. Bill, I was typing and got a phone call while you were adding your comment.

2.2 X 12 = 26.4 watts, maybe a light bulb in an unseen place staying on? If I remember correctly you now have a class C, maybe a light under the hood. Probably not, but a place to start looking. I would start by removing the 12 volt fuses one at a time until you find the drain source.

Darn the luck, I sure thought it was for Halloween night, "LOL".

Herman, I'm also diabetic, so what's wrong with sugar free Blue Bell Ice cream? After 52 years with the DW, wouldn't trade her for the world Carl.

We never used a trailer, but we decided on the coach because my wife loves the ability to move about in the mh, also the ability to prepare meals as we travel, most trips she has the crockpot in the sink making delicious meals for stops at a rest area, or when we arrive.

The fiberglass can be reskinned if you want to spend the money, or you might want to look at filling the pits, then use vinyl wrap over it. As for scare lights, just avoid Halloween. "LOL" If you are referring to a spotlight on the roof, look on the dash for a switch that has 4 arrows, left, right, up, down, the off/on is usually right beside it. Welcome to the forum. Kay

I use the heat pumps down to 40 then use electric infrared for temperatures below that.

With government like we have today, I would not be surprised, maybe a government assisted loan to purchase an RV next! "LOL"

Carl, my conversion doesn't have slide toppers either, don't have to worry about debris accumulating on top of them. Of course there are no slides, LOL.

I use the Magma nested set also.
