Yes, with a drive shaft disconnect. Remco make one for the Colorado.

Can't find Driveshaft Disconnect on their website. Will I need a transmission pump?

[Can A 2005 Chevy Colorado Be Towed Four Wheels Down?]

Does anyone know if a 2005 Chevy Colorado can be towed four down (automatic transmission and two wheel drive)?

[1998 Winnebago 454 Engine No Start]

Is just the starter spinning or is engine cranking when you turn the key?

How long has it been sitting without being started?

[Axle Weights On Class C]

Roy,

No, to calculate towing capacity, subtract loaded weight of motorhome from GCWR (Gross Combined Weight Rating), not GVWR.

Be aware that this may not be the limiting factor on towing. The LESSER of the number above, the hitch rating or towing capacity (often stated as a separate number) dictates maximum towing capacity.

Thanks looked it up in the owners Manuel and GCWR is 15,000 lbs or 18,500 depending on the rear end gears only tag I could find in the rear said 500 lbs for tongue weight I got up under the rear and couldn't find any other tags.

Thank you all for your help-- I was completely confused about the weight GVWR and GCWR.

[Axle Weights On Class C]

I'm a little confused I just got my Class C weight and total loaded is 10,420, Rear axle was 6708, so I subtract that from 10,420 and that leaves 3,632 for front axle. Now My GVWR is 12,500, with GAWR front is 4600 and GAWR rear is 8,500 so I'm OK there.

But, if I subtract GVW 10,420 from GVWR it only leaves 2080 for Towing-- is that correct? My toad is 2513 lb. and my Dolly is @ 500 lb that puts me about 933lbs past my GVWR. Correct? I didn't weigh my toad I'm going by what the manufacturer state as curb weight for my 2006 Nissan with a 1.8 ltr eng and dolly 500 lbs.

[Valve Stem Extensions]

Thank you for the feed back. I decided to go with the airless valve extenders but will definitely try Ford for the correct valves as I would feel safer with a single valve instead of extensions.

Thanks again for feedback.

[Illuminated Grab Handles]

Did you use two LED's one on top and one on bottom?

[Valve Stem Extensions]

I have a Class C RV Ford E350 super Duty with 16" wheels, I called my local truck tire shop and they told me that the rigid long stem valves (Brass) won't fit my tires I'd have to find some that do. I find this hard to believe. I remember a long time ago I worked at a shop that did tires and seen them use truck valve stems on a 16" E350 before.

Does anyone know if this is true and if so where could I get the correct valve stems for my inner dual's I would like to use the rigid ones that bolt on the rim?

[Illuminated Grab Handles]

royclem, to answer you question YES. The toughest part in my eyes would be locating an illuminated handle assembley that fits over your existing mounting holes so they do not have to be filled in. All of the handles I have seen are 12volt DC and most are LED so the next task would be to locate a 12v source close to the area where the handle is mounted.

nwrv supply has them listed on their web site, I have called them before for measurements on items prior to purchasing and i am sure there are other RV supply places you can look into also.

Joe

Thanks Joe good info I'll Measure and call

[Illuminated Grab Handles]

Could anyone tell me if I could replace my non lighted grab bar for a lighted one.

I guess I would have to put in a switch, but I have a receptacle by the door I could run power from,,,hmmmm, I wonder if I could do that, but would still have to install a wall switch. Just thinking out loud but what do you think ????

[Tow Dolly Registration]

Roy,

If your state does not require tags on the Tow Dolly then other states will abide by your states requirements. As far as brakes go, the information I have shows that in Massachusetts, Trailer Brakes Required if Trailer exceeds 10,000 lbs. That is the highest of the 50 states.

Herman

Thank you Herman,

What about the brakes dolly w/vehicle does not exceed 10,000 # does that apply to other states or is it state to state?

[Walmart's "Internet On The Go"]

Walmart's Internet on the go carries over month to month? Then that is a good deal-- was thinking of getting this also. Was it easy to set up and did you need to pick it up at the store to get receipt to set it up?

[Tow Dolly Registration]

I have an older Master Tow, tow dolly and it's not required to be registered in my state. So, how do I find out what states require tow dollies to be registered. Or am I exempt if home state does not require registration.

Also, this model doesn't have brakes what is the law on that been using 4 years now, and brakes cannot be added.

[Cummins Onan Generator]

I strongly suggest you exercise (run/operate) the generator under at least 50% load one hour per month. I assume your dealer is getting you an Owners Manual since its a 2015 model, if not, Google it, print it out and read it for general information.

Yes we do run it. I also drive it at least once a month for about 60-70 miles.

Thank you for the suggestion.

[Cummins Onan Generator]

With a lot of help I was able to find the drain plug and change the oil on the generator.

Thank you to those who replied.

[Cummins Onan Generator]

Thank you Desert Deal sounds good to me

[Cummins Onan Generator]

Thank you very much Ray that was very helpful saved the links incase I need the info again, But I still don't know what viscosity to use 15w-40 or SAE 30 is it a personal preference or is the climate you drive in, how often you use generator, I Don't Know

[Cummins Onan Generator]

Thanks, I went on Cummins/onan website and found what I need the only problem is it list two different oil viscosity's 15w-40 or SAE30.

How do I determine which one I need? No oil filter involved. Got spark plug # and air filter # and found where to drain oil.

Any idea which oil would be the best?

Brett it's a 4KYFA26100P 120V 33Amp.

[Cummins Onan Generator]

I have a 2015 RV with a Cummins/Onan generator does anyone know where the drain plug and oil filter are to change I looked underneath and behind the front cover but can't find either. I have installation guide but no owners manual.
