RE: Roosevelt Lake {NE of Phoenix} is full...
Drove up from Apache Junction once.
That was enough. The road was so rough it could knock the fillings out of your teeth.
Don't take the, now closed, short cut. Bush highway to 87, turn off at Punkin, Roosevelt Lake dead ahead. Paved all the way.

RE: Lighter weight power cord
Well we built our own with correct ends for 50 amp cable. The cable is 6/4 SOOW electrical cable. It is rubber insulated rather than PVC. Stays flexible even below freezing.
6/4 SOOW cable
There is no need to use SOOW cordage ! It is rated for 600V. SJOOW is rated for 300V. Also rubber insulated.
Depending on the length, you probably only needed 8/4.
Thus the comments on the weight difference. SOOW is going to be heavier than SOW, and 6/4c heavier than 6/3c 1/8, and even a bigger difference than 8/4c.

RE: Metal Structure on RV's Rear: What Is Its Purpose?
As cheesey as it looks, that's a commercially available BBQ mount. Just another example of the quality of RV products. The grille sold with that mount was of the same quality, and typically rusted apart in short order.

RE: USA export controls on golf carts?
Joe; we were asked if we had paperwork for the cart, at the Canadian entry. We confirmed we did, expecting to be flagged in for a VIN verification, or worse. Asked what we paid for it, told the GST amount due wasn't worth the parking space, and to keep moving. This was during peak snowbird migration season on I 15/ Hwy 4. I guess they were busy in secondary, and didn't want the money, vs. the crowd already inside the building. YMMV

RE: USA export controls on golf carts?
No Export paperwork when we brought one back. Still got hit by the Tax Man, though.

RE: Queston on towing Smart Car
The '09 models only came with 1 transmission, the '14-up had 2 different transmissions. 1 transmission was towable, 1 wasn't. The untowable model would be destroyed in under 10 miles, so I'd say you're gold.

RE: Harbor Freight Predator 3500
Stay on top of the service intervals. We've rescued a couple poorly running gens with a good cleaning of the crankcase and carb. They're really good, never mind the price difference between them and the blue blood units.
