RE: tow truck THIKS its overheating
our 2011 f 150 under load red lines
What redlines? THe temp gauge? The tach? The fuel gauge?
Your question is far too vague for us to give any kind of a logical answer.

RE: Which battery for small travel trailer
My question is - what's the best deep-cycle battery for this small camper,
Most TTs have a group 24 sized battery box. I'd get a group 24 AGM battery, or upgrade to TWO.
The factory installed converter / chargers in RVs are not much more than a power supply. You'd benefit greatly from installing a nice 2 stage charger, or even an inverter/charger combo unit.
I recently installed a Victron DC to DC Charger to upgrade my truck to RV charging capabilities.

RE: Onan Cummins 2500i inverter generator (Hear it Run!)
I'm working on the exhaust today, although at 6am, its 77 degrees in Spokane, WA.
I've NEVER seen it that warm this early. Last night I tried working on it some and the heat got overwhelming, so I have up. When I went to bed around 9pm, it was 92 degrees out still.

RE: Onan Cummins 2500i inverter generator (Hear it Run!)
I had to do quite a bit of modifying to mount my new Onan 2500 that replaced the original one.
Is yours the new inverter model too?
It's been a challenge finding the correct "drop length" for a new exhaust pipe for mine.
Cummins Onan has a nice accessory catalog with part numbers, but when I call and try to order the parts I get a really stupid answer... they say "that part number is an Indiana part number, it's not in our system" . GEE, that's helpful!
I tracked one down finally and it shipped. I need to go get it from Fed-Ex today.

RE: To buy a generator or not...
I check my gramma more carefully on Mercedes forum,
Why is your gramma on the Mercedes forum? Which model Mercedes does she own? And you are you checking up on her when she posts on the Mercedes forum? Sounds a bit creepy to me.

RE: solar question
Back in 2011 I spent about $1500 on a nice solar system for my Arctic Fox 811, which I owned up until last September. I had 300 watts. I had the solar dealer install it because I simply didn't want to do it, that's why it cost so much.
Camping in WA state, I'm in the shade all the time when I remote camp, so solar didn't do me a whole lot of good.
I already owned a Honda EU2000i at the time, so that's what did a good percentage of my battery charging duties.
Where solar was a small benefit was to help offset the discharge of my batteries when my inverter was providing AC power to the fridge when I was traveling.
Another small benefit was to recharge after a night of dry camping when I was traveling from point A to point B and stopped in the middle of the trip. However, the amount of discharge on my batteries was pretty minimal since I was just stopping for the night, usually parking for the night not long before dark.
Over 11 years of truck camper ownership, It's very rare that I take a trip where I end up in the sun while dry camping.
In August of 2020, I bought an AF992 to replace the 811. I have no immediate plans to install solar on it, even though I do still have an inverter onboard.
I did opt to upgrade my truck to truck camper charging system by adding a Victron DC to DC Charger. I went Victron because it's small and compact, unlike the Renogy and RedArc units.

RE: To buy a generator or not...
I agree that it will take a special person to want a used builtin generator.
Nope. Not me. I'm not "special". I really like my new Cummins Onan 2500 inverter generator.
A TC is so small inside that your AC compressor might run 30 seconds then cycle off for 5-10 minutes,
Sorry to break the news, but that is totally incorrect. Anyone with a truck camper will probably see that the compressor runs a lot longer than 30 seconds before cycling off. I know for a fact that mine runs a lot longer than 30 seconds.

RE: Toilet Tissue...
...TP is that is stays wadded in a ball.
If TP is being wadded up in a ball when being used, someone didn't get proper lessons an how to wipe their _______.
:E:E:E:E:E:E:E:E:E
get a small basket and put it next to the toilet for used paper.
These threads about TP always end up like that.
Putting TP in s wastebasket in the bathroom is just nasty.

RE: Toilet Tissue...
Use any toilet paper you want, RV toilet paper is a rip off.
BINGO!
RV TP is more like sand paper. It's typically pretty thin and way over priced.
I use the same stuff in the truck camper that I use at home.

RE: TS-30 transfer switch failure.
You can't bypass it. If you do, SHorepower would backfeed into the generator, and generator would backfeed through the shorepower cord. That might let out the mystery blue smoke.

Well, what kind of tank monitor is it? We can't help until we know what you are talking about.
Do you have the manual for it? If not, download it from the manufacturer's website.

RE: KZ Connect C231RBKSE Refrigerator Quit Working
When discussing an item in an RV, use the brand and model number of that item, the model of the RV is useless.
Ditto.
Youtube is an awesome resource for troubleshooting info.
