At this point, instead of testing the wiring underneath the RV, am I not better off just running a single cable from the battery to the converter? The wires are heavily mashed together and covered...

I did find the small circuit breaker and tested it. Works fine when it's between battery I brought into the coach and the converter. I attached the battery directly to it (with jumper cables).

In my experience, the more hours the better. An engine left unrun decays faster than a constantly running one.

A genset with only 20 hours on a 5 year old RV is most likely in disastrous...

We drove from Ontario to Florida in February and it wasn't a big issue. There was tons of snow everywhere but the roads were fairly clear. It was our first trip with our motorhome too, so I had...

$2000 for 4 new tires and 4 new shocks is actually a deal if they're good tires and shocks :)

Thanks TXiceman,

Figured it was going to take a lot of flushing. Any solvent or detox products I can use to reduce the chance of antifreeze poisoning? I hate myself right now.
