You need 1/0 aluminum for that distance you would get less than 3% voltage drop
Why Aluminum?

RE: Residency and voters rights in South Dakota
Both of these bills have been Deferred:
to the 41st legislative day
An act to send a bill to the day after the last day of the Legislative Session for discussion, ultimately defeating the bill.
Just FYI

RE: folding utility trailer
Interesting. But I agree with not very practical. Ten panels you have to store somewhere. And you can’t open the SUV tailgate or back window with the rack installed.
Yes Sir my thought was I would drop the drill through the rear hatch window when folding the trailer up

Just my 2¢
It has no practical use other than driving around showing off a folding trailer.

Residency and voters rights in South Dakota
OK Let me try this:
Proposed bills House Bill 1232 and Senate Bill 124 contain language which will affect RVers who use South Dakota for their domicile, but most importantly will impede their right to vote.
Sponsored by Karla Lems, a District 16 Republican, HB1232 declares “the term, residence, means the place in which a person has fixed the person’s habitation and to which the person, whenever absent, intends to return.” Additionally, the bill states “no person may register to vote using a business location or campground as a registration address.”
Introduced by Julie Frye-Mueller, a Republican from District 30, SB124 is to “ensure that the address provided in the voter registration application is confirmed as a residence and not a commercial or industrial address…”
This is not the first time that South Dakota has had legislation along these lines introduced. Fortunately, similar bills have not been voted into law in the past. There may be a need to reach out to SD legislators. These bills are not out of committee yet.
House Bill 1232, Representative Karla Lems- Karla.Lems@sdlegislature.gov
Senate Bull 124, Senator Julie Frye-Mueller- Julie.FryeMueller@sdlegislature.gov
South Dakota proposes law to end full-time RVers’ domicile, voting rights
South Dakota has long been recognized as a haven for full-time RVers. With no state income tax, low fees on vehicle registration and other privileges, many RVers from other states have “set up shop” with one of the state’s many private mailbox services to officially establish residency there. But proposed legislation, if passed, will likely end such benefits for both existing and future full-timers.
Both a House and Senate bill would, for example, if passed as written, wipe out a full-time RVer’s ability to vote in the Mount Rushmore state. The other bill would essentially ban anyone from establishing residency there unless they actually lived in the state.
Just FYI

RE: Voting in South Dakota may change
I posted the bill numbers so you could go look for yourself.
Ryeah I figured out that much. But one is about religion and the other about education. You can't just post a sentence?
2oldman I did the same the ones you are looking at are from 2021 about religion and something else
The two bills are about voting in SD HB 1232 redefines residency requirements for voting
SB 124 Seems to be instructions to the county auditors on how to handle /issue voter registrations
Google: SD SB 124 2023 and click on the introduced link
HB 1232 2023 and click the link there also

I must have missed what either of these have to do with voting.

RE: General Quietpac 75D Stopped Running, won’t start
Have you tried to run the generator from the generator start stop switches by unplugging the start stop switches from the dash? Small wire bundle (square plug) from the left side of the generator heading toward the dash just unplugs to test the inside switches. Some times those can short out.
As I remember the temp sensor is almost directly behind the oil pressure on the back side of the motor, other words about 8 to 10 inches away straight back out of sight unless you pull the right side panel or use a mirror.
Should show in the schematics in the manual item 10 page 121 of my manual. Thermo Switch

RE: General Quietpac 75D Stopped Running, won’t start
Got to thinking:
We have different Motor Homes so the generator may be a little different.
Mine is a Quite Pact 75D model 4270 it is installed in the front between the frame rails and behind an access door in the front cap.
The front of the generator I reference is where the oil, air and fuel filter are located.

RE: General Quietpac 75D Stopped Running, won’t start
So then in theory if I disconnect the #85 wire from the circuit board , terminal 12, the generator should start and run ?
I tried that and it still won’t stay running once I release the rocker switch (which I’ve tested per the manual).
Do not know about theory but if you unhook the wires at the oil pressure switch and the gen starts and runs then one of those switches is bad. I unhooked one at a time the first being the temp switch so I knew it was that switch. I did not test at the board.
Behind the front panel and in the upper right 1/4 is the oil pressure switch on that switch there is two wires, can not remember the color or number, one of the wires is for the oil pressure the other that goes to the right and behind the motor is for the temperature switch.
Also if you are holding down the preheat switch and the gen continues to run then you know the fuel pump is good.

RE: General Quietpac 75D Stopped Running, won’t start
Section 5
ENGINE DC CONTROL SYSTEM
Page 23
CIRCUIT CONDITION- FAULT SHUTDOWNS:
The engine has mounted to it a HIGH WATER TEMPERATURE
SWITCH (HWT) and a LOW OIL PRESSURE
SWITCH (LOS). While running, ENGINE
CONTROL circuit board action keeps Terminal 12
Wire 85 energized with battery voltage. Connected in
parallel to (Wire 85) are the LOW OIL PRESSURE
SWITCH (LOS) and HIGH WATER TEMP SWITCH
(HWT). The (LOS) has normally closed contacts.
After start-up, engine oil pressure will open the contacts.
The HWT has normally open contacts. High
coolant temperature will close the contacts.
Should engine water temperature exceed a preset
value, the switch contacts will close. Wire 85 from the
circuit board will connect to ground. Circuit board
action will then initiate a shutdown.
Should engine oil pressure drop below a safe pre-set
value, the switch contacts will close.
On contact closure, Wire 85 will be connected to
ground and circuit board action will initiate an engine
shutdown.
The circuit board has a time delay built into it for the
Wire 85 fault shutdowns. At STARTUP ONLY the circuit
board will wait approximately six (6) seconds
before looking at the Wire 85 fault shutdowns. Once
running after the six (6) second time delay, grounding
Wire 85 through either switch will cause an immediate
shutdown.
The ENGINE CONTROL circuit board also has overspeed
protection. The circuit board senses the AC
output from the stators POWER winding at Terminals
5 & 6 via Wires 22 & 44. This AC voltage and frequency
signal is used indirectly to monitor engine
RPM. If the frequency should increase above a preset
"adjustable" limit, the ENGINE CONTROL circuit
board will cause an immediate shutdown.
From page 23 of the manual. My high water temperature switch went bad.
You can check this at the oil pressure switch where the wire for the temperature switch as well as the oil pressure switch is attached. You can remove the wire from the switches and then start if it continues to run it is the switch.

RE: Park pet peeves, Park owner’s turn
Well this seems like a good place to ask a question I have been wanting to ask:
Is a tent on top of a vehicle, say a jeep or pickup or you choice, a TENT or a VEHICLE (camper}??
If a tent then can the tent drive across the campground to drive up onto the newly made and framed tent site, or park in the parking area for the camp site?
JimR
Not a tent, it’s a vehicle. It doesn’t have an RVIA certification so many parks can go to the fine print in their rules and not accept the rig if it looks like Jed and Granny pieced it together after a wild night of checkers for money down in Bugtussle.
I agree I just put this here because I had it happen to me. My solution was for the tent to be removed from the vehicle and put that on the tent pad and park the vehicle on the vehicle pad. He decided to park the vehicle with tent on the pad.
