    Need Help with Onan Generator

    Thanks for all the replies, I have to agree with Gary.  There is literally no venting or fan system for airflow except from the openings in the bottom plate in the unit or the fifth wheel enclosure, so I would not even feel comfortable running the generator while going down the road.  Especially...

    Rejuvenating Yellowed Plastic

    That's funny, just yesterday someone told me to look up Retr0bright (yes, spelled with a zero) and that you can even make a gel to use on vertical services.  Is used to restore old yellowed out collectable computers, etc. by some chemists.  Haven't had time to make it yet, but will let you know...

    Rejuvenating Yellowed Plastic

    Actually, I have not and will look at replacement.  I was looking for a quick fix since we are out of here in a couple of days for a maiden voyage and thought there might be a temporary solution.  I will try the other suggestions posted until I do some research.  I already have some of the...

    Need Help with Onan Generator

    I just bought a used fifth wheel toy hauler with an Onan 4K KY Spec L generator installed by the manufacturer from a private owner.  I didn't look close enough (nor did he point it out) but it appears the previous owner ran the generator with the hatch door closed and the heat buildup warped the...

    Rejuvenating Yellowed Plastic

    As you can see in the attached picture the spot light mounts and around the door window on the side of my fifth wheel have yellowed.  Is there anything I can do to get them white again other than replacing or painting the plastic?  I was hoping there was a treatment or chemical that would do...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    Thank you Grashley, that is great info going forward.  You all are an awesome group or folks!  We are headed out this coming week for the maiden voyage, so I had new tires put on today.  I went with the 225/75R15's, but the tire shop recommended 10 ply (instead of 8) since I am loading 2-3...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    Hi all, I had a heck of a time finding my way back to this post string.  Anyway, I have done the axel flip and bought new brackets for the fifth wheel hitch lower it about 2 inches.  The picture is before the installation of the brackets and now I'm pretty close to level.  I currently have...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    OK, so it is verified by the hitch place that I am 7 inches from level.  So they are going to do the axel flip that they are saying will give me 5-6 inches.  After that we will see where I am at.  I can get the rest with either changing the fifth wheel hitch brackets (1 3/4 inches lower at the...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    Ernie, thank you, I did miss that comment.  A buddy of mine in Alabama just bought a new toy hauler and had a gooseneck welded on to the box.  He also has the same truck with the OEM package in the bed.  It has four points for a FW rail kit and the center point that holds the gooseneck ball.  He...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    Rene, maybe I miss typed, but no up/down adjustment on the hitch.  The box is as far up as possible.  Sorry I did not address your comment as I missed it.  Joezeppy, thank you and I will wait to see what others say.  My only option in the bed is to go to a custom gooseneck I think.  I really...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    Grassley, Thank you, I never thought of using 2x's.  Initially, I did not want to lift it creating an increase in the ramp angle because we will be loading in with touring Harley's, besides having had many gooseneck equipment trailers tend to be more comfortable with them.  As not having the...

    Hitch: Fifthwheel vs. Gooseneck to Fix Height Issue?

    I have attached pictures of the truck and trailer.  At the middle rear of the tail gate it is 7.5 inches, and at the side of the bed is 10.5 inches at the from the bottom edge of the unit.  But as you can see there is one heck of a issue.  The stands are down, but not touching the ground.  So...
