RE: One brake over adjusted
Something is not right here. If the brakes were not adjusted right either at the factory are later they would not wait 1500 miles to overheat. Are you sure that you don't have a bearing problem?

RE: What's the real scoop on propane tank re-certification?
My local propane dealer is the one that did mine. When I went in for a fill I knew it needed recert. so I told them so. It cost me an extra 5 bucks. They really didn't look at the tank very closely. It seems to me that if they are not afraid to fill them you get the sticker and another 5 years.

RE: 2021 rockwood fifth wheel creaking
I would lube both the landing gear and the suspension. Either one could cause the creaking you are hearing. Don't assume the worst until you take care of the easy things.

RE: Rexall fuel gauge
The sending unit is always on top of the tank to lessen the chances of a leak. Unfortunately that means in most cases the tank has to be dropped to get to it. You will need to remove most of the fuel as the tank is very heavy when full.

RE: Trailer Brakes Disconnected message
I do a modified version of the emery board. I use a Popsicle stick with some very fine polishing paper. It is enough to remove the oxidation without worrying about being too aggressive.

RE: No headlights problem please help
For safety reasons all headlights are on self resetting circuit breakers. Most of them are part of the switch.

RE: Residential refrigerator door shelf failures
That is the problem with using a Residential refrigerator in a RV. They are not made to be shaken while they are loaded. I am surprised more people don't have the same problem.

RE: Just give me the bad news.
With the shortage of new trucks available at this time you might be surprised at what it will sell for.

RE: Trans coolers
I like to see trans temperature reach 220 occasionally. Water condenses in the trans oil and needs to be boiled out occasionally.

RE: 1157 LED Bulb question
Are you sure that you have a 1157 socket. 1157 is a 2 filament bulb, two contacts on the bottom plus the grounded base. More likely you have a single contact on the bottom. My book is quite a few years old but I don't find a bulb that is brighter than the 1156.

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}
OK received the box today and as ya'll said it seems pretty straight forward. Just one question about the ground wire, green... as seen in the attached picture there are 2 place to put the green wire.. not sure if it matters, but do I put the green ground wire into the silver lug attached to the box or do I put it to the screw where the box ground wire is now attached???? black goes to black and white to white as i have outlined in the picture...... just asking about where to attach the ground. thanks to all again for the help

installing this box this weekend for my TT and a quick question. as far as the ground goes, does it hurt to pig tail my ground green wire and screw it to the lug on the box and also to the screw where the existing ground wire is now in the box.. does it matter if its grounded twice in the same box?????? thanks
There is something missing in the picture. You can see that the green is of 2 different gauges. How and where are they connected? I am guessing that they should both go to one side of the ground lug and then the incoming ground to the other side.

RE: Fresh water dump inside help
Or get some plastic gutter sections. They snap together and can be undone when you complete the job. Support it with some bricks or wood blocks so that you get some pitch.

RE: No gas to cook top
A little clarification on pressure readings. When pressure is measured it is normally gauge pressure. That means that it is the difference between atmospheric and supplied pressure. The regulator supplies a set pressure above atmospheric pressure. As atmospheric pressure changes the absolute pressure changes with it but the gauge pressure doesn't.
It isn't the gas pressure that changes with altitude but the amount of Oxygen in the air that changes which causes a rich mixture. The change can cause a less efficient burner but it shouldn't be enough change to keep it from working till much higher elevation.
With this being a new camper I suspect that there is some debris in the system that is causing the problem.

RE: 30 to 50 amp adapter
I don't think either of the linked adapters are the correct ones. Most 30 amp generators have a 30 amp 220 volt 4 pin twist lock. I would think that the adapter is available some where but if it is not just buy the ends you need and make one.

RE: Can you jump your 5’er with your truck?
Very few if any 5er's use 6 volts. They may have 2 6 volt batteries wire in series to give 12 volts but nothing in them runs on 6 volts. you would need to jump 12 volt to 12 volt.

RE: Do you always have to pay inside at Truck stops?
Pilot Flying J have a RV card. It is thru Good Sam Club. There is a few cents per gallon discount. It is used just like a credit card but is paid in full each month.
