RE: ethanol treatment & generators
Use 92 octane.Still has ethanol and less energy than "regular".Many stations have no eth in 92.
Not according to what I see and the info on the link I provided.
When in doubt check for the sticker on the pump.
The OP should also know that if your going to use the fuel right away it's not as bad to use E. Most of the problems come into play as it sits and absorbs moisture.

RE: Running AC off of my home's current/Please Respond
Your house would have to have a specicfic line to handle either the 30amp or 50amp service needed to run a A/C.
I have heard, some think the DRYER outlet looks like a RV style outlet and plugging into that will FRY your RV electronics because totatlly different.
Normal house plugs/outlets of a house are not strong enough(amperage i think) to run the AC, I keep my plugged in at home, just to run lights and fridge when getting ready to travel.
Sure some electricians will speak up on if you tried to run AC on a "Normal" line, (I am guessing will through the breaker that line is on in the house). Not sure if it could damage AC compressor.
Markiemark
Dryer outlets are 230V - lots of RV's damaged by this!
My advice is to monitor the voltage and if it drops too low, turn the AC off.

RE: ethanol treatment & generators
Yeah. Don't use ethanol-containing gasoline.
This ^
Good luck with "this".
I don't know where you are in Wa. but in my area there is a station in Issaquah (Grange) or you can go to the marina in Kenmore. Otherwise there are a couple of places in E. Wa. but all other stations have ethanol mixed in.
Here is a list of E free sources Pure gas
Good luck,
Scott

RE: 12 V plug question
Positive should be on the center pin. I'd verify it with a voltmeter first.
X2, verify - I've seen them reversed.

Only time will tell but I think the guy that came up with this can kiss his 401k goodbye.

RE: No power climbing a hill from dead stop
Not unusual for that eng to crack exhaust manifolds, is that where your slight leak is coming from? If it's bad enough you may be missing a lot of boost.
(BTW, it's a "Cummins")

RE: Batteries overcharging
It sounds like you have an older converter that is over charging them.

RE: 12v electric.
You'd be hard pressed to find a schematic for even a new unit let alone an old one. They just run wires as needed and don't follow any true schematic.

RE: Help please!
It sounds like the converter isn't working at all. I would check the reverse polarity fuses in case you accidentally hooked up the batts backwards or a battery shorted internally. These (3 each) are separate from the other fuses on the panel.

RE: Good Sam's Insurance are crazy
The part about GS ins. covering stuff that a normal policy doesn't is pure BS.
Ask you auto ins. agent about this and you'll see.

RE: Axles
On your own trailer? Crawl under it and look at the aluminum tag affixed to it.
Otherwise the label on the trailer that gives weights will also list it.

RE: 12V pump on idle??
I had a brand new RV do this to me. There's probably something in the pump itself causing it - all it takes is a tiny piece of foreign matter. Take the head of the pump apart and rinse all the parts off with water and reassemble.

RE: axle hitting frame question
No not normal at all.
The first thing I would suspect is that it has the wrong axles under it. I've read of that happening before. There should be a silver tag around the axle with its ratings. I would make sure the info on the tag matches the sticker on the trailer.
The next thing I would look for is broken leafs. Look for rusty marks on the springs.
Good luck with your dealer,
Scott

RE: When to use water pressure regulator on fiver?
Also to answer your second question, No, a regulator will not lower the pressure further than its set point even if the input pressure is only 40psi.

RE: Time for a new A/C ?
You may have a clog at that point. As the fluid gets through it the pressure drops and make the tidy little ice cube. If you had a leak that bad it wouldn't work at all.
Might be a nice time to upgrade to a 15K if you don't already have one.
