    Honda EU2000i question.

    I have two 2000 Yamaha's with the parallel kit and they work great. The reason I went with two small units, is you can lift them. One large generator is hard to handle by yourself.

    Strange drop in fuel mileage

    Sorry, you checked for a brake hung up, what about a wheel bearing starting to fail. Try carefully putting your hand on the hubs when you first stop, should be quite warm if one is really hot better get that wheel apart. Also you can jack up one wheel at a time and rotate and wiggle the wheel...

    Suggestion for toting those little green propane canisters

    You have 2 choices to replace the canisters. One go with converter hose, male disposable on one end and POL or Qc11 on the other and just use a 5lb,10lb, you get the idea. Or if you want to hook up to your rv and use the same bbq, you have to plumb into the high pressure side of your propane...

    Fuse Panel Question

    I wonder if the fuse panel is labled correctly. Pull one fuse out at a time and see what does not work. I think if you look in the fuse panel owners manual it will list the correct size of fuse for each application.

    Oil hubs.

    I have a lot of experience with big rigs and the set up they use with oil, sight glass and a double nut to set the bearing is waaaaaaay better than greese. Like I said some boat trailers now have it why not RVs

    Oil hubs.

    Has any one seen oil bath hubs for trailers (3185 RL bigghorn). Boat trailers have had for a while, semi trailers for at least 40 years, seems greese bearings are old school.
