RE: Unable to locate hydraulic pump to check fluid level
After giving this some consideration, I think he has worse problems than finding the pump. I think they're under the impression there's a separate pump for the slides, because their slides won't move and they're trying to find the pump to see if it's too low on fluid to move the slides.
There's only one pump, and it should be in the front compartment.
Unlikely the 2007 Copper Canyon has hydraulic jacks.

RE: No power to house batteries?
Is your battery disconnect switch in the correct position? If you can pull the red handle out, the battery is disconnected. Turn it to the other position.

RE: Unable to locate hydraulic pump to check fluid level
2007 Keystone, I doubt had hydraulics.
My 2007 Keystone Montana had hydraulic slides. But the pump was very obvious when you opened the front compartment door. If several people can’t locate the pump then my guess is it doesn’t have one.

RE: Purchase hesitation after deposit, 2 questions
Aluminum frame or wood? That roof would really bother me, especially if a wood frame. May well costs you more than loss of deposit.

RE: Best way to sell the coach
List it on Facebook Marketplace. Sold our 5er there in 2 days to first person to inquire. Had 20 plus more inquiries before I could mark it sold.

Maybe you have cable slides rather than hydraulic slides.

RE: Antonito, CO to Chama, NM Scenic Route
Rode the train Antonito to Chama and the bus back. Beautiful trip both ways. Over ten years ago so time to do it again.

RE: Generator runs fine, but no electricity in coach
Generator was running but did you verify it was actually putting out power? Some generators have an overload reset pushbutton that must be pushed in addition to breakers.

RE: First RV Grand Design vs Keystone cougar
Does “not just park it on a slab” mean you want to boondock in minimally developed camping areas, or in BLM type areas?
The GD 150 series GVWRs are 10-11,000 lbs and the Cougar are similar with a couple models going over 11,000. Toward the upper limits of most newer 150/1500 posted tow ratings but pin weights may be too much. Certainly within 250/2500s.

RE: What is too hot
Googling the question says 195 to 200 F is the upper limit. But that seems way too hot to me.

RE: Tonneau Cover
I have had two roll type hard tonneau covers. And they both leaked more than I wanted at the tailgate area. No way to keep the bed dry in a rain or car wash. Had a hard solid one piece like yours years ago and going back to that on my next truck.
Also had a soft roll type cover on one truck. Liked it ok but prefer one that is lockable.

RE: Buzzing transfer switch
What garyemunson said. Not unusual for any type open frame relay. And a transfer switch is just a special relay.

RE: Long route travel plans
With a 6-8 month trip don’t even plan ahead in any more than general ideas. Think about certain areas of the country you think you want to be in certain months. Beyond that, just wake up in the morning and decide what you want to do that day, and maybe the next few days afterward. Don’t stress out a good trip trying to plan every day and place in advance.

RE: I'm actually in favor of high cancelation fees....
We have often stayed at a COE park we like. Typically when I make reservations a month or more in advance there are only a very few sites available. When we actually arrive there are very few sites occupied. Something is definitely wrong with the system.

RE: Figuring Mileages
Don’t blindly follow the Garmin without verifying the route. My old Garmin once took me to a rocky low water crossing when it should have had me turn about a 1/4 mile before that. Another time, a different Garmin tried to take me around to the back entrance to the Great Sand Dunes on an unpaved 4 wheel drive vehicle only road. Fortunately I knew better.

RE: Trinidad CO to Clayton NM (160->389->551->325->64)
Unless you are really opposed to passes or have done Raton Pass and don’t want to repeat I would do as IDman suggest. I towed our 5er over Raton Pass going and coming every year 2007 thru 2014 going to CO and back. A bit of a tug as you get near the top but not for long. And good interstate. And Raton to Clayton is good highway.
We always stayed at Fort Amarillo RV on west edge of Amarillo as it was close to restaurants and shopping if needed. But been a few years ago. Many seem to like Oasis RV a little farther west of Amarillo.

RE: No Shore power
You need to verify power is actually getting to the trailer. The pedestal, your power cord, your internal breaker, etc. Voltmeter is a necessity.
Does anything 120 vac work inside the trailer?
Do you have generator prep with a transfer switch? Those transfer switches are a known problem.

RE: Question on 5th wheel brakes
.............
Jack one of the tires up and pull your breakaway pin and then try to rotate the tire by hand. When the brakes are correctly adjusted the brakes will grab and stop the wheel from turning within less than one inch of wheel turn. Once brakes have engaged, there is almost no movement either direction until you put the switch pin back in.
I always test my breakaway system each time I hitch, just makes good sense to know your system is working before moving. If not working, then it is time to troubleshoot and repair before moving trailer.
I do the same at the start of each season to make sure each individual brake is working. And my wheels barely turn before locking up.
Measuring current does not prove the brake is actually engaging.
