John "T" Nordhoff replied to Philip I Burnside's discussion Electrical" Thanks for the new info, that helps us. If it never had a Generator (unless an owner scabbed something) the 120 volt 30 amp RV outlet shown in the picture is obviously NOT the generator output I was talking about above, which is…"
John "T" Nordhoff replied to Philip I Burnside's discussion Electrical" The receptacle is the standard 2 pole 3 wire grounding 120 volt 30 amp as used on many RV's that are equipped with a Generator. Its wired to the Generators output so when shore power is unavailable and you want to power the RV via the…"
John "T" Nordhoff replied to Bob Barnhart's discussion Wire size from battery to tow vehicle" Bob, Of course, the bigger wire you run the less voltage drop and more charging amps you can deliver into the trailers battery, but you have to consider practical issues and cost. That being said and figuring only one typical trailer…"
John "T" Nordhoff replied to Randy Perraglio's discussion 1972 Winnebago stuck in park??"I agree with the other post, likely a stuck or jammed cable/linkage problem. Get underneath and have it chocked so it cant roll and see if you can get the shifters to move back n forth and/or if you can with cable/linkage removed at…"
John "T" Nordhoff replied to Joseph lash's discussion 1978 dodge 440 exhaust" You ask if it would be too loud??? Seems to me how loud it is depends on the mufflers you use MORESO THEN THE MANIFOLD VERSUS HEADERS. I dont see headers being much if any louder then a cast iron manifold although true, exhaust pressure…"

John "T" Nordhoff replied to bill emery's discussion charging house battery" Okay, if NEITHER the engines alternator orrrrrrr the coaches converter charger (when powered by shore power or genset) charges the battery, I SUSPECT A BAD BATTERY.

John "T" Nordhoff commented on Richard W. Cobbs's blog post Fuse protection for inverters" Matthew, "A circuit breaker is both an over-amperage protection device AND a handy disconnect."
For sure, and besides its a good practice to ocassionally "exercise" a circuit breaker anyway, although their…"
John "T" Nordhoff commented on Richard W. Cobbs's blog post Fuse protection for inverters"I have the SAME question as Richard. What some people loosely call "fuses" most items Ive seen advertised for car stereo system protection are actually re settable circuit breakers. As long as they trip out (open) at the amperage indicated…"
