RE: Fuel pump
And if you have a rubber fuel line for the generator, replace that also. Small cost but easier to do when the tank is down.

RE: Trailer Brake Controller
If you only have one trailer to tow and several different tow vehicles, this is what I use.

It doesn’t require any special wiring. Such as wiring for a controller mounted inside your coach.
Just a thought.
Sorry I can’t answer your question specifically about the wiring in your coach.

RE: Power cord/circuit analyzer waterproof combo?
Maybe a permanent mounted surge protector in the van. Then you only need the cord outside.

RE: Paint for fiberglass roof
I second Henry’s also. Great product.
Put down your Solar Panel mounts first, then coat the roof. It will create another level of waterproofing.
Just a thought.

RE: The time has come to replace the cooling unit in my fridge.
I just did my Dometic cooling unit. Purchased from RV Cooling Warehouse but came with JC Refrigeration stickers on it.
As others have said, you need help getting it out of and back into the hole, but otherwise a fairly easy process.
I do not have any slides, so my space was tight, but got the refer to the bedroom where I could lay it on its face and complete the work.
Another thing to check when you have the refer out. Insulation of the walls and any baffles to correct the airflow up and around the cooling unit when installed.
One thing that RV Cooling Warehouse suggests is that the Camco refrigerator vent cover does not allow for proper air flow for a Dometic refer. I purchased a Dometic roof vent and cover and you can definitely see the difference in design.
Also consider adding exterior and interior fans.
Good luck with your project.

RE: Insane first RV trip plan?
I have done two 30 plus day trips in the last three years in a Class A towing a Jeep.
California to Tennessee during the month of June.
California to Georgia during the month of December.
I use the RV Parky app and Good Sam. Although I did make prior reservations for each stop, there was no shortage of open spots at rv parks across the states we traveled through.
As mentioned before, staying inside National Parks will require some pre planning.
Travel day consists of 300-350 miles per day. 5-6 hours each day depending on traffic, weather, etc. Some days may be shorter or longer, depending on where your next stop may be.
I also try to get fuel at the end of each day to limit stops along the way or combine potty, food, fuel in one stop.
Most parks can be seen in one full day but will of course depend on what you want to see and do.
Also, don’t forget to add some days in for grocery shopping, etc. We find that we need fresh vegetables about every 3-4 days.
Another thing to consider is Harvest Host. A fair amount of options to stay at Wineries, Farms, Breweries, etc. all for a yearly membership.
Also check into the National Park Pass. One fee $80, gets you into any National Park. Crater Lake for example, costs $30 to get in.
Good luck and have fun. It will be a great trip.

RE: Pet Boarding when visiting Disneyland
I did a quick google search and found several 4 star or better kennel/ daycares in the area. Most open at 7 am and close at 5,6 or 7.
If you need more than 8 to 12 hours at Disneyland then consider an overnight stay for your pet.
I just completed a 34 day trip from California to Georgia and back. My preferred kennel charges $75 per day. That’s why we decided to take the rv and dog vs. flying and make a real trip out of it. Do the math. Pets aren’t cheap.
I feel for you and hope it all works out.

RE: Slide Out Freezer/Refrigerator
Nice! I was curious about venting on hot days?
I haven’t been in hot weather yet, but I am thinking about some vents on the upper edge of the compartment closest to the rear tires. It’s a protected area by the wheel well liner but should allow warm air to exit. This same compartment also houses the converter/charger so some air may be good. Or I can vent it towards the holding tank area. Haven’t decided yet.

Slide Out Freezer/Refrigerator
Always wanted / needed additional freezer space for longer roadtrips so this is how I solved the problem. After careful measurements, I found that the Alpicool C40 Portable Refrigerator 12 Volt Car Freezer 42 Quart(40 Liter) would be the best fit. Can be used with 120 or 12 volts.
I made a slide out tray with 100 lb.Full Extension slides and installed a 12 volt receptacle in the compartment.
I have used the Freezer/ Refrigerator on two trips now. One 4 day trip as a refrigerator and a 35 day trip as a freezer. It has worked flawlessly. The compartment was previously used for drink storage or misc. ****. I even made the accessory pouch that carries the 120 volt cord.

RE: Sway bar issues
A little off topic but when you replaced your springs, did you have the front end aligned to SuperSteer specs.
It made a world of difference in my P32.

Dicor Wheel Cover Parts
Since Dicor has stopped producing/distribution of their Wheel products, does anyone know of a replacement that looks the same.
I found that Phoenix makes parts but they have a different look or style to them.
I am looking specifically for some Wheel cover jam nuts for a Workhorse P32 chassis. 19.5 wheels. Do not know the lug size.

RE: Towed braking system problem
With my Brake Buddy, I attached a piece of 3/4 inch pvc to the handle which gives it space at the seat to clear the seat adjustment lever.
