RE: A tale of two trailers, or prices are thru the roof.
We paid MSRP for our new Toyota Rav a few months ago. There is no haggling anymore.

RE: Anyone else run out of diesel ?
12 Valve Cummins is my daily driver. First make sure there is diesel in the fuel tank, at least 5 gallons. Remove the fuel filter and fill with diesel and reinstall. To prime you need to find the 10mm bleed screw just above the fuel filter. It will be in the center of a 17mm bolt holding the fuel delivery pipe from the filter to the injection pump. Crack the 10mm bleed screw open and manually move the lever on the fuel pump. This will remove the last bit of air in the filter housing, then tighten the 10mm screw. Crack all 6 injector lines loose at each injector and go back to the manual prime lever and manipulate it until bubbles start leaking out at the injector lines. Once it looks like pure diesel and no air tighten the line. You may have to turn/bar the motor over by hand a little to bleed the next injector. Continue untill all are bled and tighten them as you go.
I know it sounds like a lot of work and it is but it will fire and run. I've completely rebuilt my injection pump, changed injectors and lines before and it always fires off and purrs like a kitten if you take the time to purge the air out.

RE: What causes soft floors
I am sure some manufactures use CDX or OSB3,4 plywood but the floor I had to fix in our 2016 Sand Sport was neither of those. I suspect it was OSB 1or 2 both of which are not water resistant. There is nothing wrong with OSB category 3 or 4 in wet locations.
If you feel a soft spot in the floor the plywood has rotten from repeated water intrusion.

RE: Suggestions for a new propane regulator
I've had the Camco dual tank auto change over off Amazon on our trailer for quite a while and it's been reliable.

RE: House battery charging options
Of all the options I would get a small 2K watt Inverter Generator and run it during the day time to top off the batteries.

RE: I now hav e AC power in my driveway...
Best thing I ever did was rent a mini excavator from home depot and run power out to where we park it at our house. All told it was around 150' in length. So nice keeping it plugged in for guests and when prepping for a trip.

RE: Gen-set Troubles
If your Onan has the plastic altitude cap on it pry it off with a screwdriver behind it and turn the needle out 1/4 to 1/2 a turn. These things run lean to meet EPA standards and I believe they are not optimal at factory settings.

RE: 2023 GM HD 505hp/1085tq
Gotta love improvements.
Remember when the 1989 Dodge Cummins with 3 speed trans and a whopping 160 Hp/400ft/lbs was the cats meow?
Just used my 1992 to tow our toy hauler to a campground for the weekend. Being in California it does all right and while I see guys towing at 75mph that's just not my style. Also the fact my truck only goes about 70mph helps ??
I've never had it on dyno but she's got 50 horse injectors, HE351 turbo, full 4" exhaust including down pipe and a few other odds and ends.

RE: TT with its own motors!
I don't see how a light duty electric truck will ever have any kind of towing range until the trailer itself is stuffed with batteries to either power the truck also or like this power the trailers wheels.
For now I'll keep my Diesel.

K&N is trash and will dust your motor.
Mine trucks old school and just run a 4" tube off the turbo to a dry MHAF.

RE: If you can't decide if you want an RV or a boat
This would just be like a dual sport motorcycle. It is capable of doing both but not great at either.

RE: 11 days in southern California...
Foothill area is beautiful. I have a friend out there also, although not as high up.
I am more south Vista near the border with Oceanside/Carlsbad and yes the summer marine layer comes in quite often. Kinda sad to see visitors from Kansas or whatever at our beaches and it's totally cloudy.

RE: High Altitude AC use causing Onan generator to die
Does your gen have a "Altitude Adjustment" cap on the carburetor? If so ard you willing pry if off by getting a small screw driver behind it. These Gens run very lean to meet the California EPA standards when they were sold new. The cap is on the Main Jet and with the cap removed you can dial the jet richer or leaner beyond what the factory handicapped you too. The stock setting is 1.5 turns out from seated. My 4000 Microqiet at sea level purrs like a kitten at just under 2 turns out. Being at altitude you will have to be much leaner and with the decrease of oxygen you will be making less power too just like your engine in the RV.
