Re: Number of Labor Hours for a Towed vehicle install?
It depends on the mods needed to be made to the vehicle. Some are easy...bolt swap and no grill trimming for the brackets, comvenient place to mount the brake box and easy access for wiring runs, tail light diods, etc. Others are a real PITA and can easily be an 18hr task. Seen it both ways.433Views0likes0CommentsRe: RV State Inspection Northern Virginia
There is a school bus maintenance company (Kingmon Bus) that does HM safety inspections. They did mine in 2013 & 2014. Given they are a school bus repair they won't go easy on the inspection. The only bad thing is they wont do repairs. In Manassas, close to I-66 and VA 234-Bypass. Close to the new Camping World (old Reines RV).1KViews0likes0CommentsRe: RV drinking Water Hose
As mentioned, your rig has 1/2" plumbing so except for faster filling the FW tank via an open/gravity fill port if so equipped. A threaded connected/piped port would be no difference (i.e. back to 1/2"). Pressure would be based on any restrictions in your rig and what psi the CG provides at their spigot. Hose quality is a separate discussion.700Views0likes0CommentsRe: Adding more solar panels question?
I had (5) 100w panels on the roof by the original owner. -Unless the sun was directly overhead the panels loose efficiency at angles. -Going up on the roof and keeping the panels clean was a PITA. -(6) 6 volts to keep watered and since only 4 fit on the tray the other 2 were in the engine bay so I had to periodically balance (can't recall the correct term but it was a cycle of heavy charging to even out the bank). I only have a MSW Inverter so some stuff did not like it. So, is the expense still worth it for you?392Views0likes0Comments
