RE: Stay and Play VS Unified Tow Brake System
Have the stay and play, no problems with it, self installed. Ran a wire through the connection plug up to the MH dash that lights up when the toad brakes are applied. Would recommend it.

RE: Safe to vent fridge from inside?
Are you sure you do not have a vent in the roof? If refrigerator is in a slide out it should have a vent high on the slide out wall. Other wise it should be in the roof.

RE: Jeeps >2012 Flat Towed?
2012 Jeep Liberty I don't even have to leave the key in the vehicle to tow. You just have to make sure you get the transfer case that has the neutral setting.

RE: Prest-O-Fit Sewer Hoses
I use them but if your worried about them coming off you can buy hose clams with a thumb screw fitting instead of the screwdriver fitting to tighten the connection that's what I do if I'm going to leave them hooked up for a long period of time

RE: 50 Amp Surge Guard Issue?
Just remember they are NOT water proof, when I was putting mine on the power pole I'd cover the pole and unit with a black trash bag and bungee cords. Never had to worry about rain or watering systems doing damage to it.

RE: Diff, transmission maintenance questions
Are you sure you don't also have a drain plug on the bottom of the dif. It will be like the fill plug you found on the side. The plug in the drain pan on the trans. is the drain plug. You may also have a inline trans filter. On my friends F53 it is up near the radiator pass. side in the return line for the trans cooler. Looks like a small can that unscrews.

RE: Bedroom Slide motor seems to be disengaged
Is there a chance that something could have hit the motor. There should be on the motor a leveler with as I recall a black plastic cover. This is what they call the motor brake it's so if something happens you can disengage the motor and move the slide manually. If anything around it moved it could have disengaged the drive gear.
On my slide the motor connects to the rail gears with a square tube can you turn this tube with a wrench and get the slide to move in or out?

RE: advice on purchase
I think the 330 engine is the different then the 300 which is the 5.9 that goes in the Dodge pickups if so it's a plus. Which allison trans does it have I'd prefer the 6 spd over the 5spd.
As to the tires look for the date code on the side of the tire you should find the letters DOT then in a box behind the letters will be 4 numbers the first two are the week the second two are the year ( example 1316 would be 13 week of 2016, 2406 would be 24th week of 2006) The numbers are only on one side of the tire so if you can't find them on the outside of the tire you need to look at the inside. Most replace their tires when they are about 7 years old.

RE: Accidentally plugged into 220v
The converter converts 110 to 12 volt so it charges the battery when plugged into shore power but also powers all the 12 volt things, lights, water pump, circuit board for thermostat, refrigerator, hot water heater, etc.

RE: Electricity? Never touch the stuff
Just make sure you have a good EMS surge protector or you check the readings Old-Biscut posted BEFORE you plug in your RV. To make sure it was wired correctly. In fact it's a good idea to do this before you plug in any time.
