RE: GVWR Question
Most truck stops will have a cat scale. I use closed DOT highway scales. At least around here they leave them on when closed for business. Makes a convent place to get weights and I stop often

RE: RV workcamping/Hosting regarding vehicle age or size?
Are you volunteering in state parks or paid positions in private parks?
We volunteer in the state park system. There is everything from a 20 foot Casita to a 12 foot camper to diesel pushers. It is all about what your comfortable in. We have a 35 foot fiver and while it is fine for me, DW gets cramped after a month.

RE: GVWR Question
Basic weights are based on one 150 found driver and 1/4 tank of fuel. GVWR is the maximum weight the vehicle can safely be based on the manufacter certification to the federal government

RE: amish rebulit frig location. help.
Do a web search. You order online and either install it yourself or hire someone to do it for you.

RE: Help for satellite connection
Tere shpuld be a wall plate with two coax connectors. One will be for the OTA and the other should be marked as sat/cbl. Dont be surprised if it does not work. The cabling is probably low quality RG59 with unapproved splitters to boot.

You basically asked the same questions in your first post. I assume you were not satisfied with the answers you got then?

RE: Failed Smog Test
Easiest is to find someone who knows how to adjust it and has a sniffer he can use to adjust it to. Back in the old days i used to have to adjust lots of cars so they ran like******just to pass deq. Then readjust them to run right.

RE: Getting ready for the road
MH's are by far the most expensive form of RV travel. Many people are willing to sacrifice the expense for the "luxury" and convince. Fifth wheel is the way to go IF, you dont mind the stairs, do not need a bathroom or are willing to stop and walk outside to use it, are comfortable driving a large dually truck all the time and are comfortable towing a large trailer behind you.
They also afford more interior room for a given length and are by far cheaper to buy and own.

RE: Heater question
First thing I would do is open the thermostat and determine which wires need to be powered for the heater to fire and using a small jumper jump between 12VDC plus and heater on and see what happens. Sounds like a bad thermostat to me.

RE: no power
Check the master breakers near the battery. Check the incoming power at the pedestal, check the fuses and breakers at the converter. Get a VOM and learn how to use it. They are one of the best investments you can make for your tool box.

RE: Window Condensation
Two options. One is to be sure a vent is open, and two is to go to walmart and buy yourselves a dehumidifier. The coast is notorious for lots of moisture and you need to combat it fast.

RE: Performance Chips for GMC
Hummm lets see. For starters how about voidingmthe warranty. Then there is the reduction in fuel economy, shorter life of components and loss of resale value. Is that enough?

RE: talking insulation: spray-in polyu vs polyisocyanurate sheet
Do so e more research. I remember seeing a few years ago a story about a non toxic spray foam insulation. Might be hard to find, but definitely worth the effort. Also i have seen DIY kits for reasonable price.
