Stu, where can I find those load calculators on line that you mentioned?  I also cannot find the GCVWR of my Chevy silverado 1500 with the heavy duty towing package.  It's rated (by Trailer Life magazine to tow 10,500 #).  thanks, Beau

If you want to find out if the powerline system has cut one of the A/C electrical circuits off, open the louver to get to the control box (extreme left side of the basement air box).  When you take the cover off (it can be done without taking the whole thing out of the chassis) on the bottom are...

Jeff, thanks for the follow up.  Stain still gone?  Beau

firemanjeff, please post the results of your testing.  Thanks, Beau

I guess that the rug looking stuff on the ceiling is made out of Filon?  Whatever that is.  Thanks, Beau

thanks for all the replies.  I hope to follow that link to GM and check the specs using my VIN.  I'll probably stay with a trailer.  Beau

Jeff, I've got the same problem.  I hope someone can help.  Beau

I looked on the sticker on the door pillar.  It says that the truck can handle a 2,000# load, but I'm not sure of the rear axle weight rating.  I'll look again, thanks, Beau

I have just bought a 2015 Silverado, It's towing capacity is 11,000#.  The GCWR is 16,900# (I think).  Where can I find the actual information (using my VIN)?  I want to know if I can tow a small 5th wheel.  The box is only 5' 6".  Thanks, Beau

The most accurate method of charging an A.C. system is by weight, if you know it.  Then, pressures and temps.  Beau (A.C. contractor for 30 years)

that wire is one of two things, a spark wire, or a flame sensor wire.  It looks like it is the spark electrode for the ignition system.  You say in your post that you light the gas.  Is there a standing pilot?  If you get the model and serial  number, you can probably get info from Atwood...

thanks again, Beau

thanks guys, Beau

I own a 2003 Chevy Silverado 1500, ext. cab, short bed with 4.8L V-8.  According to Trailer Life towing chart, it's capable of towing either 6100 or 7100 #s depending on rear axle ratio.  Where do I find the ratio, and the GCWR?  Thanks, Beau

just to follow up.  My coach has been in the shop and I haven't been able to try any of these solutions.  I'll keep the forum posted on what happens.  Thanks Beau
