I also successfully fought an engine fire, l too had a fight with Insurance company and ended up paying for repairs, if it happens again I'll get everyone out and let it burn

I have a CDL licenseas well,, as others have said $ and time would be better spent elsewhere. Practice in parking lots during non-peak hours is the way to go

I also tow with a 2008 Expedition. Maybe I missed it, How are your tires? At one time I put passenger tires on for a better ride, but they were terrible for towing.

On the 2008 model year the recommended oil change was every 7,500 miles except for special circumstances  (towing), Then the recommendation is oil/filter change every 5,000 miles. I was using the 5k guidelines and still had issues, just a marginal design (IMO)

Sorry to hear about your Ford 5.4L woes, I too have a 2008 Expedition with the same condition. Apparently around 2014 Ford changed the design to correct this flaw. I'd like to point out that more than one version of the 5.4L engine exist, that may be why the F250/F350 folks aren't seeing this.

I'm able to dump at our local sewage treatment plant, However Cabela's is about the same distance (~3 miles) from my house so I go there. Always am able to find something I need want while I'm there. ;D

Thanks for all the feedback, Now that you mentioned it, I remember thinking the pump assembly wasn't that tight. I just put it on securely after I re-assembled. Definitely something to keep an eye on.

I have a 2012 Keystone Springdale camper. Mostly we have been using full hook-up sites. Went to use the pump this weekend and it didn't pump. Sounded like it was working but did not pull water from full on board tank.Battery fully charged, I made sure inlet was clear and primed pump - still did...

Yes butwith an adapter like this: http://www.etrailer.com/Wiring/Camco/CAM55175.html - be advised the 30A power cord is over-current protected by a 50A breaker.

Yes, you may be able to do this. U-Haul lists the towing capabilities of its truck on the website. https://www.uhaul.com/Trucks/15ft-Moving-Truck-Rental/DC/ A 15 ft. truck has a towing capacity of 10,000 lbs.

I would completely check out to insure power is actually getting to the refrigerator.  Your post indicates 120/240 AC power and 30 Amp Circuit Breakers are you sure this is correct. Most 30 Amp trailers are 30A 120V NOT 120/240. FWIW, On an 10 year old trailer, I had to replace the crimp...
