RE: Can fresh water tank be overflowed?
Our 2013 Montana 3400rl has an over flow outlet an the offdoor side at the rear about 3 or 4 feet above the ground. When we did our PDI & the techs filled the tank, they just left the water run until it came out the overflow. I saw them do this on several other units also while we were at the dealership. We also have the threaded fittings.
I know this is the case because I had to remove my tank for a leak that I had plastic welded up and we redid all the hoses.

RE: brake problems
Don't laugh but my boy and I call it magic spraydeoxit d5 DEOXIT D5 and have saved literally thousand of dollars on electrical part that magically work again with this spray. not cheap but worth the money. this is a cleaner of contact and keeps them from acting up in the future, are baja bugs to the door switch controls.
sound like you have a poor connection and a cleaning may do it.

RE: Awnings
I am talking about a patio awning. Not the awning that protects the top/roof of the slide.

RE: Can fresh water tank be overflowed?
MY 5ER has a large filler tube for putting a small hose into and filling till it comes over the top and also has a threaded hose fitting that directly feed the tank and 2 overflow tubes on the top that hang below the trailer if I for get to watch and I use a pressure regualted hose it will rush out the bottom till the expansion of the plastic tank equalizes.

RE: EU3000 in Front Compartment
I know this is not what you asked but I thought I would just give you a option for your friend.
I have eu3000 mounted on cargo rack. It is welded with brackets to the rack and the receiver hitch is locked with a super hard to get at pin. I have had this set up for 8 years with no problems. My shore power cord comes out in the rear so it works out really well. I can move this rack to my pickup or anybody else's for that matter so it is still very mobile.
thats the route I am going I now have it in the back of the truck with a solid pin going inside the generation with a lock bolt cutter cant get to it. Will lock the same way on a cargo tray in the back.

RE: Pullrite Capture Plate Advice Needed
I had only one choice universal I made it a direct fit.
http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac110/Edke6bnl/5th%20wheel%20Sea%20Breeze/IMG_20120928_093351-1.jpg
welded on the 5/16" steel and removed all the screws and added one as shown below
http://i890.photobucket.com/albums/ac110/Edke6bnl/5th%20wheel%20Sea%20Breeze/IMG_20120928_093442.jpg
I also did the no no and made the hitch non swiveling so I can move a non capture plate trailer in an emergency

RE: Pullrite Capture Plate Advice Needed
the only capture that was available for my pin box was the one that is flat and has about 15 screws to put in.s and tap into the pinbox. I finally removed all the screws and added one under the raised guiding portion. I then got some 5/16 square stock and welded it to the capture plate sides and front has been working perfect and only takes one screw now to remove. came out great and is a clean install.

RE: Do I need battery power to hitch up?
My guess is that there may not be enough amps available to run the motor for the motor legs. you may be better off running a jumper cable to the termanals where the batteries go. see what other think or have experienced.

RE: 50 amp Surge Protection
one thing I would mention is that my portable 50 amp. progressive surge would not work with my portable yamaha generator ???
I wonder if the surge is thinking the generator is not properly grounded? Or somehow doesn't like the neutral?
I'm inclined to go with the hard-wired because I've heard horror stories about what can happen when the neutral and/or ground are bad. I had a bad neutral experience with the stick and brick and can't imagine the 5er handling that situation well.
the unit did have a code for I forgot not neutral or ground!!
