RE: Best Fridge Type
As long as it is propane/120v, I will be happy. If it happens to be propane/12v/120v, that is fine. I will just never run it solely on 12v.

RE: 30 amp camper/50 amp plug and cord
The question remains, hypothetically speaking, if I was on the road could I plug into the 50 amp receptacle on the pedestal without damaging my trailer
Yes.

RE: Charging batteries with a small generator
You should be able to camp for days on one battery with a gas refrig.
My experience is that you can get one night per battery. When I camped with one battery, I had to recharge every day. When I upped that to two batteries, I only had to recharge every other day. (Solar greatly extended that however. Later, much later.)

RE: 12 volt fridge in TT
As long as the battery is sufficiently charged during that 2% of the time that your converter/charger is not working, no problem. If the battery is NOT sufficiently charged, or runs down, the fridge will stop cooling. However, as long as the fridge door stays closed, it will stay cold for hours, so, no problem. If it stops cooling, and stays off long enough for the fridge to get warm, you will have to throw out spoiled food.
Even your old gas/electric fridge needed 12v power to run. It must have 12v to power its electronics even when running on gas. So, it was no different.

RE: Voltage protector 110V?
Opinion: At $14 it must be a great device. :S
Sure :)...
I like HW30, don't like the price.
Buy quality and you only cry once.

RE: Voltage protector 110V?
In this area you definitely get what you pay for. I would spring for a EMS-HW30C or a EMS-HW50C depending on whether you have a 30 amp or 50 amp RV. It costs more, sure, but the extra protection is worth it.

RE: Protection
It may or may not give as good protection, but, when the wind makes it flap it can abrade the outside of your RV.

RE: Honda 2200i travel
I just throw mine in the back of my pickup truck. I do use a bungee cord to be sure it stays upright. Been doing this for 6 years now with no problems.

RE: Small Propane Cylinder
The only problem experienced is that occasionally the valve sticks. Nothing that a couple of whacks with a hammer can't fix. Nothing likes to be hit.
That is not a small cylinder problem. It is a cylinder problem. The small cylinder uses exactly the same valve as the 20# and 30# bottles.

RE: How do you measure the ambient temperature?
Welp must’ve touched feelers with the mod. Thanks for deleting something that was well, opinion, just like all the rest of the opinions.
If I want to know how warm it is where I am at, I go outside. If I want to know how cold it is, I use my phone.
If I want to know how warm it is somewhere else, I use my phone.
I wondered why my answer went from the first answer on page 2 to the last answer on page 1.

RE: MGVWR and problems titling trailer
I am not sure what the "M" in your "GVWR" means
Manufacturer
I'd empty it and take it to another set of scales to verify dry sticker. What's your tow rig gross combined weight rating?The problem is not with the tow vehicle capacity. The problem is that the trailer weighs significantly more than the trailer's GVWR, so the state won't issue tags for the trailer.

RE: Connecting 2 batteries together
Hook the two POSITIVE terminals together. Hook the two NEGATIVE terminals together. For best results, hook the trailer's POSITIVE cable to the POSITIVE terminal of one of the batteries, and the trailer's NEGATIVE cable to the NEGATIVE terminal of the other battery.

RE: AC tripping generator
The thermostat SHOULD prevent short cycling. Short cycling is GUARANTEED to really spike the amperage draw.
