  1. If you have a tight budget I would let someone else be the early adopter and them do the testing to see if it will work. It may take a year or so but may save you lots of money.
  2. I would go with Roadmaster products as they are made in the US unlike the others.
  3. Its ok to run propane on the road as well as the generator. There may be a restriction for the propane in a tunnel but that is rare.
  4. You might check the fluid level. Does the motor change sound when jacks reach the ground?
  5. In our shop we used to pull the transmission and then with a modified hoist we would snake it out where the trans was. It was pretty easy.
  6. If you have a Hummer it has a tow mode which disconnects the wheels at the hub so nothing turns but the wheels and hubs.
  7. Toad brakes are required in Canada. Every axle on the ground must have brakes, so if you have a tow dolly even the rear wheels of the toad needs to have brakes.
  8. I you are adaptable, anything can be made to work. With 3 small kids we traveled 3 months at a time for 7 years. Great experience for the family.
  9. 11 column inches is 1/4 lbs pressure. Gauges are not as accurate as the water column
  10. Check with Roadmaster for sway bars as they manufacture them in house. Also check with them for steering stabilizers.
  11. Check the baffle in the chimney for soot and the location of the flame.
  12. Remove the valve and see if the tag raises.
  13. What part of the transmission is it over. I would think with a little disassembly of different pieces you should be able to get it out.
  14. If you can see the fan make sure there isn't a loose wire hitting the blade.
  15. Most roof airs will run on a 20 amp circuit. They draw about 18 amps to start and 14 amps to run. A 20 amp outlet and plug have one blade vertical and one horizontal. 15 amp has both blades vertical or parallel . 15 amp circuit might not start the compressor. This of course is assuming 108 minimum voltage.
  16. The biggest problem with the turbo bearings is hot shut down. There was a company out there that makes an after shut down lube system for the turbo.
  17. Make sure the tires have the correct pressure for the load and it has the correct shocks.
  18. I had a Fleetwood product that the body came loose from the frame and was bouncing up and down.
  19. It sounds like there may be dead bodies hidden somewhere. Check with a cleaning company that deals with controlling odors from decaying bodies.
  20. Like Brett says a manual transmission is a must and in my opinion any toad should have a manual transmission. As far a equipment is concerned check with Roadmaster, I prefer them because they make all their parts and assemble them in house not like some of the others that have parts manufactured offshore. Roadmaster also inspects their tow bars at major rallys free of charge.
  21. To go from a trailer to a motorhome will take some adjustment. A lot of it will be easier and less time consuming. We are currently traveling with friends that have a 5th wheel and it takes them about five times longer to set up and take down for travel as it does us.
