Don't know if anyone mentioned it but if you haven't been draining the fuel filter maybe ice has formed in it.

Your RV guy is right.  A&E quit selling the camlock seperatley several years ago.  You now have to replace the whole spring assembly to fix the problem.  Reason:  unit comes assembled from another country and they make more money on the assembly.

On the Dodge its a large retaqngular white plug with a cap on it.  Not sure when they put the plug in Suburbans.

Before buying from FR products check out the multipage blog @ RV.net on FR Products in general.  I hate to say it about any company because I work on RV's for a living but I have found in most cases the quality of FR products to be lacking.  TMO.

The house battery is charged by the converter when plugged in and the old converters didn't regulate charge well.  He didn't check his water on a regular basis while plugged in and burnt the battery up.  If it boild dry while driving then its got a dead cell and needs to be replaced.  If you...

Looks like Chuckanut Drive between Bellingham, Wa. and Burlington, Wa.  It was one of the first senic highways built in the US and designated as such.

I prefer the 460 for torque and HP.  As far as gas milage goes I used to get 12-14 in my 89 26ft. Tioga.  It was fuel injected and had overdrive tranny.  Never found another that would get that good of mileage. 

Your cooling unit has gone bad.  I experienced this once myself except mine was runnin and full of food.  Ruined the food of course and had to replace my fridge.  However you can get a rebuilt cooling unit for around $579.00 and pay a guy $200.00 to install it or get a new refer for around...

Could be a heat problem @ the computer.  I would have that checked out soonest.  Let the mechanic know about the heat.  It will probably be very hard to recreate the conditions but maybe an extra cooling fan would help.  Like from in front of the radiator to dump directly onto the computer.

Since the trace unit is no longer supported (no parts available) I would stick to the PD9155 and get the charge wizard if you don't have it already.  I recently replaced a legend with a new Xantrex invertor because when they bought out Trace they changed everything and the circuit boards were no...

It may be that there is no insulation in the wall that surrounds the fridge.  The heat from the burner and the heat from the air outside may be the culprit. 

I will assume that you have a magnetek 6300 series with the 120 volt fan moter in the lower section.  The motors are still available at around $29.00 .  If you would like cleaner power with less troubles, you can change out the lower charging unit with the 7345RU for aroung $230.00. Many will...

You will have to run cable from your batteries unless it is already there(check under the coach along the frame). You will need to install a power transfer switch or wire your genset to a 30amp receptical to be located in the compartment with your 120volt cord.  This will run everything through...
