RE: Where to connect brake break away cable on Patriot Hitch

Tie down ring back left corner of truck bed works for me...right by the 7 way connector. Easy to reach and always done together with the 7-way.

RE: Tires

My Goodyear Endurance 235/85R16 are holding up well. 2 years and 15,000 miles no issues. Also, holds tire pressure very good.
XPS Ribs are pretty pricey..Link

RE: DEF how old is too old?

If stored in a cool place it’s most likely fine. Personally I would not use it. I on
only buy what I need.
Wow! took several responses before someone mentioned the most important thing....what was the temperature it was stored....that is the most important factor.

RE: TorkLift Glow Step Resolution Install

"IF" I were to buy any aftermarket step it would be the Glow step!!! They contacted me and asked if I would test them.
I was contacted also when these first came out...I wish I had taken their offer... but my trailer was new and didn't feel the need at the time.

RE: Whats Your Real Weights? Truck and Trailer. The Real Deal

My 2004 Chevy Kodiak C4500 and 2018 Montana High Country 385BR weighs in at 28,040 lbs. I’d like to post a picture. How do I do that?
drag your picture into this link...then post the link under the picture
It will make sense when you open it.

RE: I have a different kind of electrical problem

Are you using 2 sets of sensors? the set in the picture and a second set clamped on the generator feed?
I'm using a 3rd sensor for the generator...since it's a 120v generator...only need 1 for it.
"OK it just looked like the mechanical interlock was forcing a 2 pole breaker off (the feed from the generator) when the main was on."
The one feed from the generator goes to L1 and L2 of that breaker when on emer power....good eye :)

RE: I have a different kind of electrical problem

yes, each panel has its own main breaker
The white/black wires under the cover go to sensors for an Efergy energy monitor system that shows the Watts being used...they just go to clamp on sensor and have no voltage passing through them to speak of....I could clean that up some. I use it to measure the electrical energy use...I have it wired so It also show the generator load when on emergency power. The wires go to a battery operated transmitter that sends the info to a wireless display.

RE: I have a different kind of electrical problem

The problem is with the short generator stub cord. Now you have to stand there and hold the generator in the air while in use.
not if you use the extension cord that I already have. :D

Answers...

Yeah one of the covers looks crooked in the picture...but it is not when closed.
Yes the male cord is a generator inlet, I used the RV 120 Volt 30 amp homemade inlet because I have plenty of those extension cords already and it goes into the 30 amp RV plug on my Champion....thought about improving that in the future.
The square box is a whole home surge protector.
The EVSE is the charging cable for my Nissan Leaf EV.
cleaner pic.
I didn't pick the paint..bought the house like that...the picture below has some reflection from the tail light of my truck on it...FYI

I originally had the sensor outside...but moved the transmitter inside for a better signal...
