    The Physics of a Weight Distributing Hitch

    Another description is the distribution hitch is simulating the tongue weight being closer to the rear axle rather then behind the bumper.

    The Physics of a Weight Distributing Hitch

    I can't do this directly because my trailer is in storage but if some one could take a picture it might help. Take a picture of the hitch assembled on the trailer with no truck.  This will show the onloaded angle of the hitch assembly.  Then take a picture of it connected to the truck for...

    Installing a 50 amp outlet at home

    Here's a little info from my installation.  I used an unused stove circuit to power my 20/30/50 pedastal.  It is a 40 amp 240 volt, the double ganged breaked mentioned by Lou.  The old wiring only had a neutral so I installed a ground rod at the pedistal.  One thing I learned is if the same...

    Shore power question

    I have a 20 amp breaker for several outlets in the garage.  I tried to run the 13500 A/C but after 15-20 mins some of the other outlets were starting to warm up.  The circuit daisy chained through multiple outlets and the outlets were not rated high enough.  It was pulling a consistant 15 amps. ...

    Shore power question

    I chuckled when I read this.  There was a class A gasser I saw a couple days ago at Walmart with all the slides out and the front wheels off the ground with the jacks to get level.

    An ARP module probably saved our fridge today

    Gary- which campground did you pull into.  We are planning on staying at Campfire Lodgings over Thanksgiving.  It too hangs off the side of a mountain just out of Asheville.

    Air system compressor

    Thats what a lot of my customers do is replace the dryer.  When parts, labor and the risk of error is calculated, swinging the dryer makes more sense.  The operation of the governer.  Usually the governer is mounted to the compressor.  It senses system pressure via a remote line that usually...

    Ram truck oem brake controller

    I have it on my 2011.  It works well and seems to be reactive.  If I get on the brakes a little hard it will jump and help out accordingly.  You can also pull it up in the dash to monitor trailer brake application.  Mine is located above the park brake so I couldn't say if the functionality...

    Fresh water usage on an RV

    Because our trailer is only used several times a year I installed a valve to expedite the process.  Also because of that one time I forgot to let the pressure off.  Luckly it had cooled down.

    Cummins ISB coughing - Code 42 and 275

    Yes, the exhaust gas pressure sensor should be in a small aluminum manifold that is attached to the exhaust manifold via a small tube.  Sounds like you have the VGT with the electric actuator.  You are correct, there are no moving parts to see on that one.  Insite would need to be used to see...

    Cummins ISB coughing - Code 42 and 275

    Clean that passage for the exhaust pressure sensor.  That directly relates to VGT operation as the ECM watches exhaust pressure while operating the VGT.  The VGT is used for the exhaust break so the traditional butterfly exhaust brake will not be on this engine.  You will probably see the VGT...

    Cummins ISB coughing - Code 42 and 275

    Sounds like the exhaust brake.  When the sound occurs, watch the exhaust brake linkage to see if it is moving.  Not sure on the IAT sensor.  It would be between the turbo and engine though.  If there are two sensors in the intake then one would be it, the pressure sensor being the other. ...

    I had one like that.  No filter, change the oil a little more frequently.
