RE: Need to add a propane line with quick disconnect
OK and does the grill need full tank pressure, high pressure 12psi?, or low pressure 10.5" WC?

RE: Battery Charging Problem
This is why I like separate components. I hope that new inverter lasts a long time.

RE: Brake problem
Just a follow up. We drove the MH the 1400 miles home and had no more brake problems. So I am satisfied that it was the moisture in the old fluid that caused the problem.Put the brake flush on your maintenance schedule. Every 2 to 5 years or whenever you replace pads.

RE: DC Power Issue
Thanks, I did this already and since battery is over 12 volts (12.8) that means an open circuit? OK, but since battery to fuse is also 12.8 volts then does that imply open circuit is between fuse and lights?Yes. Keep checking until you find some device or connection with 12.8 on one side and near zero on the other.

RE: DC Power Issue
Load it up until power cuts off as originally stated. Then with everything failing to work check your battery voltage. If you have battery voltage above 12 then find the open connection. If battery voltage is dropping then have the batteries checked.

RE: Electrical
Get out your voltmeter and check voltage on the battery and converter output.

Switch on, pull rope. If it starts fine. If not then do all the other stuff.

And what is Elon's infatuation with Space Balls the movie? I wonder if the semi will have the Schwartz powertrain option if it is ever released.Pretty sure Semi is going with Mad Max

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
A typical car uses 125 gallons of fuel to complete the Daytona 500. The fuel tank is 18 gallons but the refueling cans are about 12 gallons. 13-15 seconds gets the car four fresh tires and a can of fuel. Since they average 200 mph, the race lasts about 2.5 hrs - How long would it take a BEV to do the same?I was thinking to split the race into two periods with an intermission or half time similar to football. Recharging would only be allowed during halftime. OK maybe just 400 miles. Whatever works.

RE: Tesla Semi truck unveil & test ride set for Oct 26th !
A better test would be the old 24 hour Le Mans that requires both at the edge everything and duty cycleI would like to see electric NASCAR style racing. 500 miles at Talladega/Datona would be interesting.
Too much time charging to get through a full 24 hours. Two hours driving and one hour charging would get tedious.

RE: WFCO WF-8725 - How Do I Add Another Circuit/Breaker
Do you need a basic explanation of hot, neutral, ground?
Otherwise you pop in the breaker and wire same as the others.
Exact same wiring as your home except the neutral and ground bus are not bonded.
Be safe, unplug.
BTW code allows the main + 5 branch circuits max on a 30 amp panel.

RE: DC Power Issue
With shore power disconnected: battery shows 12.9V and DC fuse panel is 12.6 V.
So I conclude ....... wiring from battery to DC fuse panel is ok.Actually
0.3 volt difference seems very high for no load. Start turning on some lights and check again.

RE: Chevy, Ford... going into electric trucks.
Amazon has reportedly ordered 100,000 electric Rivian vans for delivery service. I bet Ford/GM are starting to feel a bit behind the curve on this one. And I have read UAW is fighting the GM switch to electric :R Great going UAW... keep building those dinosaurs and you will be extinct along with them.

RE: Would appreciate the groups thoughts on tandem axle issue
With that wear I would be inspecting a bit closer to see where the actual damage is located. Looks bad enough you should spot something bent or running gear loose. Otherwise +1 for a new axle.

RE: Chevy, Ford... going into electric trucks.
And for those who kept on insisting why it's on Tow Vehicle forum, the discussion is whether our next tow truck will be a Ford, GM, Tesla or Rivian EV pick up.All vaporware at this point but from what I know I will take the Rivian.

RE: Mountain Towing
:h I think we ought to describe what "mountain towing" is.
Like what type of grades and what duration. Always, seldom?
To me mountain towing is 6%+ grade and miles long in duration. Not really a hill that momentum will take you up and over.Depends also on the road speed due to curves. Expectations on a curvy 25 to 40 mph road will be different than a 70 mph interstate.
