RE: 50 AMP connector
If its the end of the shorepower cord, its a 50 amp plug (male)
If its the end that the shorepower cord plugs into, its a 50 amp receptacle (female).
We're all guessing at what the OP is looking for.
Either way, any electrical supply shop will have it.No we're not. OP specifically said "female".

RE: ST or LT tires?
I ran a lot of miles on my old trailer with Goodyear G614s aired to 110psi. They did NOT wear in the center of the tread - the only wear they showed was on the edges of the tread. In fact, I even went so far as to borrow someone's tire gauge to make sure I wasn't underinflating by error because there was no center wear.
I'm running 80psi on my current tires and the only wear they are showing is on the edge of the tread.
Go figure...

RE: Testing Carbon Monoxide Detector
I happened to be reading the instructions for Kidde detectors today because I need to replace the CO detector in my stick house.
The instructions specifically say NOT to use a car exhaust as this may contaminate the detector and cause it not to function.

RE: Running AC off of my home's current/Please Respond
Just curious as to why you would not get an RV outlet installed. Then you would never need worry about this situation ever again. You could run the A/C and other appliances up to the 30A limit of your circuit breaker just as if you were at a campground.
If your electrical panel is not too far from where you would want such an outlet, installation costs should not be through the roof.I have TWO 30A RV circuits near my breaker panel for when friends come to visit.
Unfortunately, my RV normally sits about 200 cable feet away from that panel.
I plug it into a 15A GFCI to keep the batteries topped up. If I really need to run the AC, I unplug and start the generator.
Someday I'll get around to adding a 100A sub panel near my RV then add a 50A post using buried cable right beside its parking spot.

RE: Pull Test ?
Just raise the jacks so that they are just slightly off the ground then PULL with brakes on full manual. If the hitch is not latched, the 5er won't fall on your truck.
Don't rely on chocks to hold your rig as that will not test your brakes.

RE: ST or LT tires?
Ran my factory STs for 15000 miles and they were worn out = little tread left.
Switched to 6 LT tires (see sig). Quite happy with them.

RE: 2004 Dutchman Victory Lane 26SRV Fifth wheel toy hauler
We had a different Victory Lane - 35SRV. The fuses and breakers were behind a brown plastic panel near the furnace.

RE: Smoked at the Pedestal Need Help (long post)
My WFCO converter died 1 week before the end of the two-year warranty. They replaced it under warranty. I installed it - no biggy.
Your reefer needs 12V to run so it's probably not toast.
Your converter probably failed a while ago and so your battery is dead. Or the battery is no good and you didn't know it.
I ran my rig on a 15A battery charger for two weeks until I was able to install the new converter. Just had to be careful about how many lights I turned on.
No sure why your 37" TV isn't working - it probably doesn't use 12V. Make sure you check all breakers and fuses.

Install new crank up where no antenna has gone before??
My rig has a fixed omni antenna that has terrible performance. Have replaced the head and amp and checked the coax. I think most of the reason is that it's tucked behind and a bit below my air conditioner.
I'm thinking of installing a crank up but it won't fit where the current antenna lives. I think the factory is now installing crank ups 2-3 feet to the side of where my fixed one is located.
Is it a big deal to install a crank up in virgin territory?
Is there such a thing as a SIDEWAYS crank up? If so, I could install the base there the current antenna is and drop the head to the side.

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
Mod: personally I'm still waiting for someone to answer my serious question why there is no correlation between the weight of a tire and its (possible) quality.

RE: Voltage 3895 Versus Cyclone 3800
Personally, I don't like the bed going out in the slide. Too many problems with temperature control at the pillow end of the bed.
We got rid of our Voltage couch - incredibly uncomfortable. Are you sure that bigger couch in the Cyclone is comfortable?

RE: Pulling A Fiver With A Extended Cab
My 2011 Chev crew cab has no more room than my 2004 Ram Quad Cab because of the stupid way the seats fold. Don't know how one could manage with those seats in only an extended cab.

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
I don't remember M8008s being reported as good replacements. Did I miss it? ****** Can you provide the link to where it was REPORTED the LT tires you bought is WORLD GREATEST TOYHAULER tire???:B No. It was a serious question. I'd hate to replace China Bombs with another set of China Bombs.
Can't find out how much they weigh. Anybody know? I think that's one major factor determining how good a tire is ***** This was good for good chuckle:BI'll admit my ignorance: why is my question about the weight of the tire 'good for good chuckle'?

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
Still wondering about the load range the O.P. started/ended up with....The photo said 10PR: 10 ply rating = LRE.
Probably LRE to start too but don't know for sure.

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
So the O.E. Towmasters were "D" range? And may I ask why you decided to go to load range "E" with the Maxxis?
I'm interested due to some posts I've seen elsewhere in the Forum about possible underspec on O.E. tires....is that what you mean by saying going to LR-E is a "no-brainer"?It appears that you're confusing the OP with the big toyhauler to the guy with the 24' trailer.

RE: 2012 Raptor with Towmasters = BOOOM!!!
I think the OP mistyped 60R. The photo says they are 80R 10PR (i.e. LRE)
I don't remember M8008s being reported as good replacements. Did I miss it?

RE: Feedback from the community on newbie questions
Welcome to the forum.
We like our Voltage as do most people who own them. One or two here will tell you that they are c**p.
Definitely dually. That's a big trailer.
It's probably different where you are, but where I live even though they call that 2013 Ram a 3500, it's in 4500 class and would require a higher drivers license. I've already upgraded my license because of the weight of my 5er. I know some will try to tell me I'm wrong, but like I said, where I live, it's true.
