Re: 99 newmar mountain aire 4081 prepare for towing
Biggest problem may be getting the brakes to release. I've had to help people who have set still for just a few months and had the shoes lock to the rears to the point even the rocking with a lot of power was questionable as to get the release.

I guess I'll go along with the rest NO and since I have a RV near what you have say, we run our gen about 4 hours a day with two 12 volt deep cycle and have no problem. Think you gen will run about 1/2 gallon per hour. We cook and shower in the morning using both propane and 120 volt for hot water, make coffee and do the micro thing about 2 hours. Then dinner time and another 2 hours for dish washing hot water cooking and micro plus some TV. We go 10 days at a time and as for the furnace set at a bit less than 60 degrees and cover up, only a few minute in the morning with cooking coffee and such and we are comfortable temp.

I use the scangauge and tow in hot weather. Never have seen over 208 as that is when the fan kicks in and drops the temp back to my running temp of 190. At the 240 temp I would be worrying about the trans. The trans temp is connected to the engine and does not like temp above 210. Don't remember the numbers but at 220 and above the trans has a decreasing amount of time before damage as temp rise. LEN670Views0likes0Comments
