  1. I run my Norcold on the inverter while driving all the time.
  2. I have two lp tanks. One for the gen, liquid withdraw, and the other for stove and refrigerator.
  3. All of the TT campgrounds we stayed in since our renewal date last April had plenty of space. We stayed 106 nights from Las Vegas to Sturbridge Ma, about 10 campgrounds. Happy with all of the campgrounds and it works for us perfect.
  4. I tow a 99 Silverado 1/2 ton, v6 5 speed for about the last 100,000 miles. Lots of room and I carry 92 gallons of diesel in the tank in the bed. I get between 10 and 11 mpg with a 32 foot, ISB 275.
  5. I use an Aero ss muffler. It has a venturi that is supposed to reduce the back pressure.
  6. I use Roadmaster products because of their service. At any convention or rally that they are at, they go around to all the coaches that have Roadmaster tow equiptment and service them for free. They leave a notice when this is done and alert you if there is anything else that needs to be done.
  7. Any good hydraulic shop should be able to fix it. I doubt very much that Howard manufactured their own o-rings, I think they probably used common sizes available to any manufacturer.
  8. Its amazing when you get paid by the hour how long you can drag it out.
  9. My ISB 275 and MD3060 came out of a 98 Freightliner Discovery.
  10. Does your DVD unit contain the surround sound processor/amp? If so all of the speakers need to be hooked up to their respective outputs.
  11. If I remember correctly the 275 Cummins is a ISB computer engine which for the most part was connected to a Allison MD3060. A 190,230,260 was a mechanical engine and connected to the Allison MT 643. I have installed a ISB 275/MD3060 in my 32 foot coach an get between 10 and 11 mpg towing a 1/2 Silverado.
  12. Check to make sure the vent hose is not kinked, mine was and when I fixed it I had no more problems with slow filling.
  13. My cost for materials was less than $700. I bought the Dicor material and their installation kit plus 8 sheets of lujan(1/8 plywood). It just takes time but not much skill. My coach is 32 foot.
  14. Youre correct. mine is #6 4 conductor however I was using the 30 cord in Las Vegas. Sorry for the confusion, it must be old age creeping up on me!
  15. Usually the best fuel mileage is between 58/61. You want your transmission to be in 6th gear, if it won't, that can be set in the computer. Mine shifts into 6th at 57mph.
  16. When you add distilled water you are not changing the makeup of the electrolyte but replacing the water that has evaporated. A charged battery shouldn't freeze.
  17. You should try some different TT campgrounds, we find them pretty nice.
  18. I used the cable from Home Depot and 3 weeks ago in Las Vegas it was 24 degrees and I rolled it up without a problem. It is #10 3 conductor wire. I used Camco 30 amp plug end with a handle.
  19. I have changed to caps with floats and have a gallon of distilled water higher than the batteries. When the level indicator says the water is low I just open the valve until they are full. A lot easier and quicker.
  20. I would fill the batteries and then charge until it goes to float and then store it.
  21. The front tires are strapped in place and when I have towed on a dolly before the vehicle may or may not have had a lock.
  22. Do you charge the batteries with a inverter/charger? If so it usually has a 3 stage charger so when the batteries are fully charged it will float charge to keep them up.
