Re: Generator dB rating
I don't know what you mean by "Honda Quiet". Since Honda doesn't make a 3500 W generator, there is nothing to compare it to. So how many dB's do you consider to be "Honda Quiet"? Secondly, are you looking for 3500 W surge or continuous? At least for me, It's hard to be helpful when the parameters seem to be rather vague. I'd also like to mention, that i thought dB measurenments for portable generators was always at 7 meters, at 1/4 load. That's the only dB ratings i ever recall seeing.476Views0likes0CommentsRe: Cougar 22mls
There is likely a panel inside the trailer with two screws holding it on that needs to be removed to find the valves. These valves are located on the (front) side of the water heater, not the back side (which is visible from outside the trailer) - that is likely why you don't readily see the vavles.374Views0likes0CommentsRe: Toronto to Nashville
I would guess the Detroit crossing would be the fastest and cheapest considering toll roads. There is a Sams Club for overnighting at exit 37 SBD I-75. That's the first-easiests and safest one to get to I can think of. As far as "must see", that depends on what kind of things you like ie.: museams, nature, opera, plays, ball games, hiking, etc., etc., etc.546Views0likes0CommentsRe: Replacement axle question.
Just who is the "they" you are referring to? There are 3 people involved here. 1) The axle manufacturer welded the spring perches to the axle. 2) The trailer frame manufacturer welded the spring shackles to the trailer's frame. 3) All the installer of the new axle did was remove a few bolts, swap out the axle, and re-install the bolts. Any teenager with the right wrenches could take the old bolts out and put them back in (even torque them correctly). So who is the incompetent "they" guy you are inferring to?947Views0likes0CommentsRe: Reroute Lot Sewer Pipes
There are a lot of variables here. First, who really owns the mainline sewer? You say the resort, but that may not necessarily be true. Generally, a local municipality owns the sewer (there are exceptions, and this may be one). If the local municipality owns the sewer, there is no way they will let you dig down to the mainline sewer and tap it; nor should they. Also, that mailnine sewer could be 9 or 10-feet deep; or more. It would be rare to see one that is not at least 6-feet deep. Are you prepared to excavate that deep for how many ever feet? Now if you wanted to excavate starting from the end of the existing sewer lead, that may be a more viable alternative. But again, the lead could be several feet deep, possibly at least 5-feet, maybe as much as 10-feet. Permits could be required, maybe several permits. Also licenses for the type of work (plumbing) could be required. Could the approved general contractor do the work - yes; If you have deep enough pockets. Cost - probably in the neighborhood of $500 - $1000 per hour plus materials (once again, depth becomes a major detrmining factor). Here is what a typical mainline sewer and lead looks like Clicky329Views0likes0CommentsRe: 5th wheel suggestions
The max tow rating for that truck changes per conventional towing vs. 5th wheel towing, engine, rear end ratio, and 4x4 vs. 4x2. For a diesel it could be as low as 14,000 lbs or as high as 26,500. No way of knowing (for real vs. guesses) without more information.821Views0likes0Comments
