Sorry about your fuse woes.20 amps for a starter does seem marginal.If you drove your usual long trips in warmish weather that might explain the non-problem previously.A fuse can also look fine but become weak in its internal conductivity and over time might fail. Cold weather works starters very hard too. Re Michelins, I have always used Michelin LTX M&S tires and never had a problem.They wear well and are f.airly quiet. When I bought the used 06 PW Plateau a year ago I 'junked' the tires and put on new Michelin LTXs.
For the writer who noted a prescribed one hour run time on the generator: FIne. I dont run mine more than 10 mins a month under load. Never had a problem. Gas ones, as I mentioned before, can varnish up and get baulky if no Stabil is added to the tank while unit is unused for a long while. I keep a small solar panel on the PW dashboard plugged into the 12v accessory plug-in and it seems to keep the MB battery charged up.I have to keep the RV in an RV yard so no plug-in for a trickle charger.
2. What did I do today: well, yesterday we loaded up Holly, the Coton de Tulear--RV Girl, and took an Island drive to the tourist town of Chemainus(popular town with large wall murals). Keeps house battery charged up as I have learned my lessons about leaving batteries in a discharged condition then trying to revive them later.Bad plan. Happy long trip and keep the ceramic heater nearby!
