RE: Class B title question????
Just so you're not chasing wild ferrets, in AZ there is no such thing as a "REBUILT TITLE". You have a Salvage title or a Restored salvage title. A Restored salvage title in AZ means the vehicle was restored to roadworthy use and can be registered and insured. It only applies to the chassis portion of an RV and not to any of the coach components as they are not part of state or federal vehicle safety/roadworthy requirements.
So, if the title says "Rebuilt", it's fake. "RESTORED" must be on the title to make it legitimate.
THANKS FOR THE INFO ITSYRV, I AM GOING TO HAVE HIM SEND ME A COPY OF THE TITLE. GOOD TO KNOW, TU...

Class B title question????
looking at a class B Itasca RV 2007, owner has the az title in his name BUT it is a REBUILT TITLE... He states he bought the rv from a guy in cali a couple years ago and at that time it also had a CA. rebuilt title.. CA Owner stated that the rv was stolen when he owned it and the ins. paid him off for it and than the RV was found and ins company stated that since it was recovered that the RV had to be listed as a rebuilt title in order to reg. it again and sell it....
Can't get hold of a person in DMV to ask about this with this virus just get prompts...does anyone maybe know if this is true as far as why it has a rebuilt title and if that is how its done on a veh that has been recovered after being paid off by the insurance company??? he state no damage was done to the rv the TV's were not even taken.
Any help in this matter would be most appreciated... thanks...

RE: BATTERY WATER?????
Thanks for the suggestions by all... I did try a couple auto stores (oriely's , auto zone etc) in my area and none have the water... Tomorrow I will try a few auto stores 20 or 30 miles away and see what they have. if nothing than I guess I will top them off slightly just to cover the plates with the machine water and hope I can find some distilled in the next couple weeks... Thank you all again for the ideas... everyone STAY SAFE,,,,THANKS

RE: BATTERY WATER?????
Unless the plates are exposed, I would avoid using normal water at all costs.
They are for 2 golf carts, that I have. 6 volt batteries total of 13 batteries and 2 of them are just beginning to to show the tops of the plates in 2 different cells... not really completely showing yet but the way it looks here not sure when I will see distilled water again unless I get lucky. So just want to be ready with something just in case...THANKS

BATTERY WATER?????
HELLO, of course I always used distilled water in all my batteries. But now with this virus in my area there is NO WATER, NOT EVEN DISTILLED>>> So my batteries are in need of some water... Is it ok to use the drinking water that we get from those 25 cent machines. I would think its better than our water he in AZ from the faucet ... I also have a reverse osmosis water system in the house.... so before I add anything I am looking for any suggestions as to what is better to use or does anyone have any other ideas???
As usually thank you all again for any ideas.....

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}
Connect the supply ground to the lug mounted on the box wall. The whole box becomes a ground connection so the green wire is fine where it’s at.
PERFECT, i thought that but figured i would make sure... always received the right info on many things over the many years on this forum. AGAIN, THANK U ALL FOR SHARING UR KNOWLEDGE...

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

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}
Just to note, that link is for a refurnished unit.
which one is that???
Your very first post, scroll down to “product description “....”this refurbished product was tested...
“
I checked again and don't see where it says refurbished... Is that what TESTED means when u buy electrical items, that they are used???? does it matter if it is or should I avoid this type??? thanks
Sorry, where it says “product features”. To me, it means it was sold and returned for what ever reason. Probably nothing wrong with it, but to me it would have to be greatly discounted.
Actually just below the buy now button it says:

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}
An issue that not many people think about when plugging in their RV that is wired for 50A service: many people "rock" the plug into the outlet rather than make sure that all 4 prongs make contact simultaneously. So, you get contact in this order: Ground, L1 and L2, and Neutral - in that order. There is a brief period of time where you will have 240V applied to the plug. Does it hurt things? Maybe - maybe not - but I prefer to err on the side of caution and switch the power OFF before I plug in...
I JUST RECEIVED MY PROGRESSIVE INDUSTRIES PROTECTOR THIS WEEK AND IN THE INSTRUCTIONS it says disconnect power, plug unit into the pedestal and reapply power. Wait for the unit to do its check of the electric connections. Once done disconnect power again and than plug in the RV to the unit and than reapply power and wait until u here a click which than sends power to the RV..
That is kind of why I want to install the breaker in the box to avoid walking back and forth to the garage to throw the breaker in there. Feet don't work that good like they use to, LOL...
Thanks to all again for the help and advice...

RE: wiring a 30 Amp Power Outlet 30A Circuit Breaker {{UPDATE}}
There are pictures of the wiring in the Amazon reviews. Your existing pvc/wire will enter the bottom of the box. Black goes to the breaker then it goes to the plug. White goes to the neutral lug and then to the plug. Green goes to the ground lug of the box then to the plug.
Right now your black wire is going to the plug. Your wire is going to the plug and your green ground is going to the plug and to the box itself. The only thing different in the new box is that the black wire will be going to the breaker then on to the plug.
Don’t count on all of the reviews as being accurate and some are dangerous. One guy suggested saving money on wire by not running a ground to the box and driving a ground rod for grounding. This is very dangerous advice.
Again, right now your wiring should be black from your existing breaker to your plug. White from your panels neutral lugs and ground from the ground lug bar. Your service panel where everything starts should be bonded which means that the neutral and ground are connected together. If you were to run any 240 volt “sub” panels off your main service they would NOT be bonded so they would run four wires. You are simply running a 120 volt circuit out to your rv, its not a sub panel. Its no different than any other wall plug in your house other than it’s heavier gauge and you are now going to be able to interrupt the black wire.
Just checked again and now I see the picture in one of the reviews. as u said it looks all prewired which is good. when I get it hopefully should be pretty self explanatory (I hope, lol) and as you said... as suggested if I have any questions I will post a picture and ask..
As suggested in another post a couple weeks ago I did buy the progressive ind. protector so if any problem I would think that would trip even before the breaker or not even allow electric through and give me a code. And AZRVING, I also am from AZ pretty much not to far from you in BHC.....
Thanks again to all of you and as usual I came to the right place to get the answers.. If any other questions will post and give ya'll a follow up once the job is complete.
THANKS AGAIN AND ALL STAY SAFE...
