RE: 50amp EMS w/surge
BTW The 120/240V 50A is SINGLE PHASE, it's a common misconception that it's 2 phase, etc.
Split phase is a reasonable description.

RE: 50amp EMS w/surge
Yes with the standard 30/50 RV adapter. Aspects of the above post are incorrect, as the unit doesn't know or detect any aspect of 120/240V power, only that both legs have 120V within specs.

RE: oil leak
A/C compressors do contain some oil, but make sure the leak isn't above the pully. Are you sure you didn't spill some oil during the oil change?
The belt to the right appears dry which might suggest the leak occurred since the engine was last run because the belt on the compressor is wet.

RE: Solar charge controller confusion
I also see bare striped wire that isnt covered by the conectors. SteveX2 With that poor quality alone I'd want to do a in depth understanding of your setup.
If you are saying the output of the CC goes to the panel lugs which are also connected to the battery then that can be OK. However a very important aspect is the total wire length and size which effects the amount of loss in the wiring. There is a general guideline of 3% maximum loss.
Plus it's not clear if you have adequate fuse protection for your setup.

RE: Lights on a bicycle carrier
No need for extra lights from your description. But if you want install LEDs and plug into the trailer plug.

RE: Converter wiring question
There are no RV DC wire color standards. You'll have to determine which wire is + and -.
My RV has a lot of white ground wires. It also has black ground wires.

RE: Uneven Dually tire wear
Based on what you've posted replace all of the tires and you will be good for another 40K miles and 7 years. :B

RE: Uneven Dually tire wear
You should not add a new tire to a dulley with 40K miles. Maybe a steer tire. I vote for inconsistent psi at some point, it doesn't take long and then doesn't correct.
Your tires are old. Replacement cost could be peanuts compared to a blow out. I'm not saying it will happen but the increased risk factor is there.

RE: Running Lights Stay ON
Are the lights on w/o shore power?
I'd check the charge wire for a connection to the lights. Take the plug apart and check there first. The charge line should have a fuse, pull it and see if there is any change.

RE: Uneven Dually tire wear
A small difference in tire pressure can cause wear.

RE: Nightmare
Hate to say this but those broken covers suggest there has been water intrusion and damage even if you can't see it.
What is the $10K estimate for?

RE: Nightmare
Fortunately you didn't remove it from the lot and hence per above you may have additional options depending upon state laws, etc. Not sure how this will work out for you as he has your $, perhaps submitted a title transfer and you almost certainly signed a "as is" contract.
For future reference it's very wise to have a full third party inspection and have repairs done before taking possession.
Keep us informed.

RE: Swivel TV wall mount
You could use a small diameter nail to find the stud. Then the adjacent studs should be 16" distance (US home standard). Mount the TV on a board or plywood that wil span the studs.

RE: 30 amps for 50 amp trailer
My adapter has been used once but I avoid it's usage due to the safety concerns.
But in making a reservation this summer a CG suggested I use the 30/30/50 apapter to get more power. Clearly they are unaware of the safety issues and I don't plan to use it. Hopefully that area will not be hot.
Another factor is that as a user you have no idea how the pedestals are wired and the wiring can make for a successful usage even though the safety concerns remain.
