Paul, When I replaced my Fleetwood clearance lights all of the grounds were daisy chained together.  If you lose one of the connections you lose the ground for all of them.  I would start with the last one you did and verify ground is present by measuring resistance from the engine batteries...

Actually Alaska, New Mexico, and Nevada have the highest violent crime rates in the entire United States. Everything you said is not true.

The relay delay isolator assures the chassis battery receives some charging before the alternator tackles charging the auxiliary battery.  It assures a drawn down auxiliary battery does not rob all the current from the alternator thus preventing the chassis battery from recovering from the power...

I would say, for the most part, just identifying the vehicle as a Ford E450 will get you the proper part. A more specific definition would be a Ford E450 on a cutaway chassis.  Some parts, such as shocks, will have a separate part listing for the cutaway chassis.  If you can, take the old part...

Look around here and see if they have what you need. http://gpartsinc.com/tail/

Gary is right.  When I replaced my power steering pump on my Ford gas powered engine it required a pump that was made for a diesel engine.  That's why the pictures are a nice thing to have when shopping for parts.  ;)

If you are speaking about engine related components, Rockauto.com http://www.rockauto.com/en/catalog/ usually has most of the parts I need for my older Ford and pictures to compare as well.

I have had my 460 about 5 years now.  It has not been any issue except for the power steering pump needing replacement.  I did blow the transmission main seal because I overheated it trying to get out of deep sand but that was on me.  I added an external oil cooler to replace the stock oil...

Sounds like the classic fuel line from the tank to the generator fuel pump degradation.  It gets stiff, experiences small cracks, sucks air and starves the carb.  Might try a temporary line from a gas can to the fuel pump to verify.

I tow a VW Bug behind my Class C, without a drop hitch, and it will occasionally drag when entering and exiting a steep driveway.  With a drop hitch I would expect it to occur more often.  I usually just take it slow and easy and try and enter/exit at an angle to lessen the degree of slope I am...

When you have the time and dollars perform this upgrade.  One of the best upgrades I have done for my M/H and one of the best companies out there supporting RV folks. http://www.bestconverter.com/PD4635V-35-Amp-Converter-Upgrade-Optional-Remote-Pendant_p_350.html#.WZybremQzZt

I would assume it is a P33 Workhorse chassis.  Start searching there for the proper belt.  If it doesn't fit try one longer or shorter as needed.

Another thing to check is the condition of the fuel line from the tank to the pump.  Yours is probably 18 years old and they get hard and develop miniscule, practically invisible, cracks.  When this occurs the generator will run for a time and then die as air is sucked into the line.  The...

Dave, If you were working on your radio, and your fan quit working, I would take a long hard look at what you did with the radio. Probably not a coincidence.

I know you checked the float operation but that sounds like a classic case of a float sticking open.  I had a VW van one time that  did something similar.  Turned out the float had a pinhole in it and was filling with gas so it did not float.  Maybe it is hanging up when you put the bowl back on...
