RE: Coal-Rolling Teen Pickup Truck Driver Hits Six Cyclists
Just yesterday near me, a runner was mowed down on a road so straight that you could snap a chalk line from one end to the other.

RE: Wheel Bearings - re-grease?
He said that it was "greased" 2,000 miles ago. If that included a complete cleaning and inspection of the bearings and then a repack with the proper grease followed by the correct bearing and brake adjustment, then he is good to go for thousands of miles. What are the chances that the service was done correctly?

RE: Amps/voltage to trailer brakes
It is very likely that the wiring is too small. Here is information on testing the brakes.

RE: 2021 F-150 Brake Controller problems
Maybe you should join their forum and tell them they're all full of ____...
Maybe you could just go away if you can't say something useful. Bringing a 15 page pile of nonsense to this forum, for you to defend, isn't worth anything.

RE: 400 mile electric RV
Perhaps Canada could take the bulk of those folks traveling north so that the pressure on the US electrical grid is reduced. That would be better for the environment because of the clean energy in Canada, and it would reduce the US national debt. Mexico just passes them thru, why doesn't the US?

RE: 2021 F-150 Brake Controller problems
I didn't read the whole 15 pages, but it seems to me that there are those that did incomplete troubleshooting. There are more connections in the truck and trailer brakes than just at the bumper, and spreading grease is not a repair.

RE: What causes soft floors
Some RV floors have a sandwich type of construction where foam is in the center. That type can weaken with use till there is a total failure.
Others use a plywood or OSB material that will fail if it gets wet.
The repair for each type is complete replacement of the affected area. Search for videos that will help you with the project.

RE: Fresh water tank drain.
I always put about a quart of straight antifreeze in the black and gray tanks. The theory is that it keeps the seals on the gate valves lubricated and pliable
If you use the cheap stuff that contains ethyl alcohol, your theory may not hold water.

RE: Question about freshwater tank use
I want no part of a fresh water system to be a potential source of disease, so my suggestion is to sanitize whether you use it or not. Also, after seeing and reading how other campers handle their equipment, you might want to rethink going to campground potluck dinners.
Have you ever eaten fast food, or at any chain restaurant? You really don't want to know how they handle their equipment.
At least they are inspected. Some information.

RE: Fresh water tank
The check valve in your water pump may have a leak and is slowly filling the tank.

RE: 400 mile electric RV
I have no problem whatsoever with BEV’s as a consumer alternative to ICE’s, but to the extent that Politicians have found a way to effectuate public policy, pick marketplace winners and losers via subsidies and codify strong-arm edicts absent any ‘real independent’ scientific assessments (who would independently fund such?), it bears the appearance of power accumulation (“do as you’re told, nothing to see here”) and it’s this that should concern every thinking person (skeptical of popular ‘narratives’)…Understand that almost any modern new ICE automobile is very nearly an actual zero pollution vehicle with only some occasional minor exceptions (like transiting up-hill on-ramps), and there’s no solid evidence whatsoever that BEV’s achieve a lower net footprint…Thus (regarding a multitude of current issues) we must acknowledge our captivity in this now ‘Post-Truth’ era…JMHO

Yep, too much freedom and not enough control, our government hates that. The population has been gaslighted for years and now just follow along like lemmings.

RE: 2021 No Bo 19.5 bent axle
Most trailer axles are marginal at best, banging over a 4" curb probably bent the axle. Consider replacing it with a stronger part if possible.

RE: 400 mile electric RV
If we look under the hood of a train's locomotive we will see a large diesel engine that powers an electric generator that supplies electricity to powerful electric electric motors known as "traction motors".
That system is used in place of enormous transmissions and clutches.
And your point is?
Read it again, maybe you didn't catch the reason for that type of transmission. Those "powerful" electric motors are there to transmit power developed elsewhere, just like those in any electric vehicle.

RE: Home - Waste Dump
If you have a septic tank, there should be a line in, a line out and a cleanout in the lid. You don't want to dump in that cleanout, instead you should have a tee in the line that goes in. I suspect that your "cleanout" is a Y on the pipe from the house to the septic tank and that would be fine for dumping as long as you maintain a capped Y for future clogging issues. For your dump line, 3" or 4" is fine, the most common size is 4".
In my area they are pushing for installation of a manhole in the tank lid so it can be properly inspected. Yes, pumping and inspection is now required.
