    • Hint # 1 Hint # 2 Obviously hint # 2 show the proper wiring of the truck side, however I suspect that if one had not seen hint # 2 (in the manual) and was only familiar with what's in hint # 1 (some of it) one might think they did a great job and things should work. Come on guys! Put those grey matter cell to work! There is a hint # 3, but I'm going to hold off, what do you think hint # 3 is?  
    • Got the knob removed.  They appear to be 1/8" air lines. Was not able to remove the collet. I'm also not having much luck find the 1/8" size collets or O-rings 
    • It appears that there are two white wires of larger gauge, one to ground and the other to brakes.  That doesn't seem logical.
    • When I had a generator installed for my house, they offered to install a certain type of breaker which would automatically kill that circuit if power went out and I went to generator.  I could have put one on the water heater or a/c, but did not because my whole house generator could handle everything. I don't remember what they called it, but I don't see why it would not work in your situation also.  Maybe someone else knows what they are called.
    • Earlier this year we installed a fairly robust solar system (three 365W panels, two 24V 200AH LiFePO4 batteries, and a MultiPlus II). We've "boondocked" a few times by simply turning the shore power off to see how things go. This morning we were going about our normal activities when I went out to fill and dump. When I opened the door to turn the handles and hook up the hose I noticed that there was no shore power. I flipped the breaker a couple of times, but no change. I told Jo Ann we were operating on batteries. A few minutes later I found out that the entire park was without electricity. Not more than a minute after that the power came back on. Part of the reason for our upgraded system was just for times like that, but I realized that there is something missing. Suppose this was in July and both air conditioners were going. I'm guessing that the main fuse on the low voltage side would blow because there would be too much current being drawn. I wonder if there is something that can be added to the system that would cut the power to one of the air conditioners and alert us to the fact that we suddenly are on batteries. When thunderstorms are predicted it will be nice to be able to unplug from shore power and stow the cord before the storm hits, but when that happens I can turn off one or both air conditioners. This was a complete surprise.
