RE: 2 -6 volts or 4?
Get an adequate solar system and take all four. Use the generator for cloudy days only.

RE: Jacks down or not??
I’m not concerned about me in high winds. I’m concerned about my RV. Jacks up. And if possible my TT is connected to the TV nose into the wind.

RE: looking for solar panel wires Eagle Cap 1165
So how long is that 10 gauge and how many amps are you potentially running through it?

RE: Furnace and battery
“and are careful about our use of electricity...”
There’s “careful” and there’s “careful.” A solar system should provide all the juice you need for a night’s camping and fully recharge the batteries the next day. Did you do an energy survey? Once completed, are your battery amp hours at least double that? Preferably 2.5 to 3. Do you have at least solar panels providing 1 watt per battery amp hour? Is your controller and your wiring adequate? Using battery lanterns and no stereo or TV stinks!
Tell us in detail what batteries you have.

RE: looking for solar panel wires Eagle Cap 1165
How nice of your manufacturer to wire your RV with 10 gauge wire from the roof to your controller! 10 amps and 9.5 feet! Or you start losing big time. And 10 amps isn’t that much. Cheapos!

RE: 1/2 or 3/4 Ton? - Trying to decide.
My Tahoe is essentially a half ton truck and my personal limit for a TT is 6000. I’m 5200 with the Winne. Get the 3/4 ton.

Interesting. My 1978 TC wasn’t plated in California way back when.

330 pounds is taken by your full fresh water tank and more for whatever is in your waste tanks.

RE: Broken axles
“and the payload weight is 1239”
That was the signal you missed. Very low TT payload.

YOUR bank where you are the customer.

RE: Travel trailer storage question
“I'm not nimble enough to fight with a fabric covering ...”
Putting a fabric covering on is all in how you roll and fold it as it comes off. Once mine is back on the roof it’s a piece of cake to unroll and adjust, and done by ladder...not walking on the roof.

I agree that Winnebago’s website is easy to understand and move around showing everything they make. Newest item is the MHs for the physically challenged.

RE: Just bought a new Keystone Cougar! What else do I need?
"with my 6500 pound loaded travel trailer" But, traqusa3, OP's TT will be 6,915 DRY! And he will be loading everything in the TT since his TV payload is low....8,500...9,000?
"I enjoyed my buying experience at Floyd's RV in Goldsby, Oklahoma." Is that because they said what you wanted to hear? "Oh, that F150 will tow anything on the lot!"
