RE: Dual-15-adapter-generator
Virtually never is a duplex receptacle fed from 2 separate breakers (and is probably a code issue). Very common for laundry outlets.
That was very common 40 years ago, used on kitchen counter tops, where code requires 2- 20 amp. circuits.

RE: Relocating vent fan switch
Wiremold makes a stick on surface raceway for problems like that. Last I knew Lowes have some, maybe someone at Lowes can help you with the parts.

RE: Wandering Nightmare
We bought our mh new with an E-35 under it. It's never been a problem. The only thing I've had done is have the front aligned.
Dusty
Do you happen to have an alignment report you could share? Specifically Toe, Camber and Caster settings.
Thanks.
No, that was several years ago. the front tires were not wearing even, went to Wing Foot, a truck tire and alignment place. The job they did was not right, it then pulled one way. So I gave up on them and went to a Ford Truck dealer. They fixed it right, Should have went there first place.

RE: A question on fuel for a E-450 ford chassis
He IS getting some advantage from it. He feels better and his wallet is lighter.

RE: More Generator Issues?
plugged carburator thanks to Ethanol in fuelNot sure about that, but if you get it running good, find a way to drain the fuel for storage.
The fuel pump is electric. I added a switch just ahead of the fuel pump, turn the switch off when done with generator, and let it run out of gas.

RE: Splicing AWG 6 to AWG 12?
Blue Scotch Locks by 3-M are rated to splice 2 #6 wires.
Dusty
All wire splices above 50 volts, are required to be in a junction box.

RE: 12 volts issues
Could be a poor/bad ground. It's rather common for the cable where it hooks to the coach frame to go bad.

RE: Using propane while driving
We run our refrigerator while driving. I've run a cord with switch up to the drivers seat so I can turn it off before pulling up to the gas pumps. Hards part is to remember to turn it back on after leaving.

RE: Some advice for a newbie RV'er
I think I would ask them to a pressure check/test for roof leaks. They are rather hard to find and can do a lot of hidden damage.

RE: Bigfoot hydraulic automatic Leveling Jacks - Class C
Just watch your weight. Some "C's" are close to max weight, and power levelers are not light weight.

RE: HELP!! No AC, heat stuck on full- 2000 Lance 1030
Take the thermostat off the wall, make a drawing of where each wire is on the thermostat, then remove them. Now did the heat stop, if yes get a new thermostat, if no then a new one will not fix it. It could be a short it the thermostat wire or a problem in the HVAC unit.

RE: Power Roof Vent
We have a 24' Itasca. I put the power vent fan in the bath room roof vent. The power is already there for that little ex-fan.
It's a lot quieter when that fan is not next to you.
If you want the air flow through the upper bunk area just close all the windows except the one in the bunk area.
This works fine for us.

RE: Quality bottle jack?
Try jacking up the rear axel on a C mh. Not only is it hard to operate the jack while laying there, but I didn't like laying under the mh while it was being jacked up.
I now have a hydraulic jack with a remote pump.

RE: Electrical Problem
If the insulation is melted the length of the wired, then it was over loaded. If it's only melted at the end, then that end had a loose connection.

RE: Sewer hose storage
Some time ago I had to replace the steel square bumper on out mh. I too was concerned about the inside rusting, which would be hard on the sewer house. I painted the inside with an aerosol can of paint and an air hose to help carry the paint on into the bumper.
The bumper on our current mh, Itasca, is aluminum.

RE: Water tank fell out.
I've heard tell that traveling with the tank 3/4 full is the worst case, since it's heavy and sloshing...
In Naval Architecture it is called the "Free Surface Effect." Shipboard tanks and voids have baffles installed and/or are required to be kept either full or empty.
When you see a large tanker truck going down the highway be assured it has elaborate baffle systems installed.
I am not an RVer, but I certainly can see not driving down the road unless your potable water tank is either full or empty.
Last I knew milk tankers are not allowed to be baffled.
