RE: P2 Brake Controller
My P2 does NOT require adjustment for different driving conditions such as highway versus city. My loaded tow vehicle weighs almost as much as my loaded tt so I use "Boost 2". A gain setting of about 3.8 gives me confident braking (no push, no pull, and no grabbing in stop and go traffic).

RE: Tire Info
Hi everyone and thank you for your help. My KZ is a 1997 Sportsman weighting at 5600 dry. (wow) anyway I called Big-o and found some tires. Commodore Radial ST st205/75R15C Ordered 5 tires. Now I know I'll be safe on the road. Again thanks for all your help. Hope to see everyone camping. Be safe
load range D or E would be better. And have them put in metal valve stems.
x2 on going to a greater load range. C's just barely cover what I expect to be your fully loaded weight without allowing for a safety margin.

RE: need new tires tomorrow please help
Use this Maxxis table to determine your minimum required psi - based upon your average wheel load.
http://www.maxxis.com/Repository/Files/m8008load.pdf
Then add 20 psi to minimum required psi, but do not exceed 80 psi.

RE: I bought a diamond plate box...
$120 worth of (2) batteries
Just curious where you are getting 6V batteries at $60.00 a pop.
Craigslist ?
Just kidding!
Seriously, I was referring to the posts with extensive designs and no mention of using 6-volt batteries.

RE: I bought a diamond plate box...
Here's another option for diamond plate storage boxes:
http://www.kshmarine.com/toolbox_tank_combos.htm
I bought a custom box to hold my 2000-watt Honda generator and a 2-gallon gas can. It has all the openings needed to operate the generator in the box. Of course, they will make a custom box for any purpose. I found them to be reasonable and very easy to work with.
On another note, some of the more extensive boxes described on this forum seem to be a fun project for someone looking to stay busy; however, spending $300+ to prevent theft of $120 worth of (2) batteries just doesn't make economic sense.

RE: Fresh water tank etiquette
--I don't block traffic to fill up.
--I'm not concerned about water quality as I don't drink it. I assume it is good enough to flush, shower, or wash dishes.
--I feel NO guilt when I rarely use my Water Thief. If they don't want me to fill up, it should be posted at the spigot or in the CG's online rules so I will know about it before I decide to camp there.

RE: Preview Popup Goes Away Too Soon
I'm using IE9. I put the cursor on the topic, take my finger off the touch pad, the preview opens, and about 5 seconds later it goes away - without me touching the computer in any way.

Preview Popup Goes Away Too Soon
When you roll over a topic in the list of topics, a preview of the topic pops up; however, sometimes it goes away before I have had time to read all of the text in the preview. Can this be changed so the preview stays up longer (say 15 or 20 seconds), or better yet, so the popup doesn't go away until the user rolls off of the topic?

RE: Leave tank valves closed even with full drain hookup?
Here is a tank option I would like to have. I have a 38 gal gray tank and a 38 gal "galley" (2nd gray) tank. When dry camping I always have to manage the shower and bath sink usage to keep the gray from filling up too soon. However, the "galley" tank is never more than 1/3 full. I would like to have the option of cross-connecting the gray and "galley" - effectively creating a 76 gal gray tank.

RE: Leave tank valves closed even with full drain hookup?
I leave the black closed until it is time to dump. I leave both gray tanks open. I think it is a low probability that the gray hose will jump out of the sewer opening. I also don't need the gray water to flush out the stinky slinky because I have a flush port on the black tank. When I flush the black tank, I am also flushing the slinky.

RE: New camper question on first night!
I recommend putting it in D and engage tow/haul mode. Leave it this way all the time regardless of terrain. Tow/haul will keep the transmission from hunting 99% of the time. During the rare situation where the transmission may want to hunt while climbing a hill, put it in 3rd until you reach the top of the hill - then back to D. Works for me!

RE: Fresh water stopped
dan-nickie,
I suspect the OP keeps his black water tank connected to the sewer with the black tank valve open all the time. Thus, risking having the dreaded "poop pyramid" form in his black tank.

RE: electric jack
I have the Odyssey 3000 which is made by Ultra Fab (I think). I am very happy with it and it gets very good reviews at Camping World.com.
