RE: Onan 5500 Gas To Propane Generator conversion Kit
To answer your second question. Yes about a 25% power loss is what I have read. And it will use a lot more fuel.

RE: I-10 between Lafayette and Baton Rouge
Living in Louisiana we have learned long ago not to take I-10 and to use US-190 instead. Also avoid Baton Rouge traffic at all cost. There are other ways around the state,just stop and ask the locals which way to go a we will send you on a better and more scenic route.

RE: Smoked Bearing -- Spindle Damage - Axle Replacement??
I have had worse looking spindles. Looks like the area for your inner seal is damaged, if it is you need to only replace the spindle not the whole axle.

RE: Reinforcing entry step box on new 5th wheel
Our steps are also attached to the frame. So we have no movement. It is mounted to the frame with simple L brackets, simple and works.

RE: Onan genset oil
I also run Rotella in the truck and in the Onan generator in the fifth wheel. That way I only have to carry one jug of oil on trips.

RE: Does anyone else have this problem?
Chock wheels pull slightly forward if it is a travel trailer and release coupling. If you have a fifth wheel, chock wheels and slightly back up and pull lever on hitch to release latch.

RE: Are all E350 fuel gauges wildly pessimistic?
Remember you can never fill the tank completely. If you did it would come out the vents, also the fill line is most likely on the side of the tank (although not always)making it hard to fill completely. Also the last few inches of the tank you can not get. Depending on the shape of your tank it will be several gallons on the bottom. On my truck it is 3 gallon difference when I have the fifth wheel on the truck. The truck sits level when towing and rear is a little high when unloaded. Also the fill station might look level but it is not it is sloped to drain water away it will depend on weather it is sloped left or right to how much fuel you will get. One last thing fill in the morning you will get more fuel per gallon the if you fill in the hotter afternoon. So morning will it take less gallons on pump but more in tank, gasoline expands and produces more vapors as it gets warmer. Only a few degrees makes a big difference.So fill slow (first notch) and get more liquid and less vapor in your tank.

RE: replacing 12v rocker switch for ceiling light fixture
Just pull the silver type connection off of the rocker switch. And then push it on the back of the new switch one wire at a time. Just do not pull the wire, pull and push on the connector only.

RE: Opinions on Diesel Chips
To make more power takes more fuel and air. More fuel and air makes more heat. More heat melts pistons. You need to have a EGT gauge installed to monitor exhaust gas temps. I do have a mild tuner on my 7.3 diesel, yes makes more power and uses more fuel. I use EGT gauge to keep temps down when pulling. I get 19 mpg not towing and 12 mpg towing your fuel mileage is fine.

RE: It just letters but what are they for.........
I do not know have been trying to figure out. Our last fifth wheel was a Flagstaff
8524RLS it was 26 feet long, and our current fifth wheel is a Puma Unleashed Toy Hauler 298FQU and it is 31 feet long. I do not know what the numbers or the letters mean, maybe something the manufacture just picks out.

RE: V front travel trailers
More frontal area. I have towed both a flat nose and a v nose cargo trailers, and the v nose was not fun when the wind is blowing at a angle to the truck and trailer. The back is where we lose the mileage. Vacuum on the rear slowing and pulling you back. If we can fix the rear like the Airstreams or a airplane it would be great on mileage and handling. I know you asked about the front it have more cargo area, but with that more frontal area to cut into the wind. Pick what you like and buy it and enjoy.

RE: Venting My Gasoline Generator
If those are propane tanks then the compartment is already vented. You will have no problems then. The battery boxes will also vent in compartment I do not see hoses for boxes.

RE: Chasing a short in my marker lights
Jump trailer power with fuse in the 11 o'clock and 1 o'clock position. It is most likely and ground problem a bulb shorted to ground. You must remove one bulb at a time until you find the one. I run down gravel roads all the time and it destroys the bulbs. I have had the problem several times on my trailers.

RE: Route 66 to the Grand Canyon
We went a few years ago and had a great time, we stopped every where. Did route 66 and got a National Park Pass and stopped all he parks on the way from Louisiana to Grand Canyon and back. We went for 3 weeks, week to get there, week in Williams at Railside RV Park as a base-camp and took a week to get home. It was not enough time to see everything. We will have to go back. Stopped at the meteor crater and stayed the night, went to Winslow and stood on the corner. Petrified Forest was great started in the after noon and watched sunset there. went to all the National Parks in the area. Just to much to do. You will enjoy the trip. No places to avoid.
