Just got the rig, was out of state for 2 months and haven't had it out camping. Last weekend I winterized it.

Question #1 - I had the large generator put in, is there a way to tell how much gas is in the gen tank? I have already run it out of gas twice. Can't find anything in the owners manual on this. Gauge??

Question #2 - Is there a way to keep the main walk in door open? It doesn't have a latch/magnet on the out side skin. It just sort of hangs there about 6 inches off the camper.

Any help would be great.

Once the genset tank is empty, use 5 gallons at a time to fill it up. When it's full, you will know how much it holds at least.

For your door, you can buy aftermarket gas struts and brackets that will hold it open.

I have been putting gas in in 5 gallon increments, I'm pretty sure it holds 18 gallons, I was wondering how to tell how much is in the tank after running it for hours? Is there a gauge?

I'll look into the strut thingy for the door.

Thanks for the assist.

Lots of options on Amazon. Other places have them as well.

As far as the gas gauge, do you have access to the bottom of the tank? If so, you can do it the old way, and "T" in a clear line and run it up to above the top of your tank. A quick look, and you can see the level of fuel in your tank. Just be sure to vent the top end of the hose, preferably back into the tank, otherwise outside.

I used one of these on our '06 Itasca and it worked great. Just search Camping World or other supply for RV Door Holder.

Really appreciate the feedback on the questions I asked. I guess maybe I could tap the generator tank into the fueling station tank, it has a gauge. Thanks again.
