$12K this time of the year is a good budget for a 2wd. 4wd will be 2x that amount. OK everything from here comes as an OPINION Unless you are a devout minimalist get a 21ft unit. These have a separate toilet, bath. The 18ft typically have wet bath, after a few months it might be a bit much. The rear bath also gives you 3 zones, rear bathroom, middle kitchen/living room, front bedroom, again a weekend is way different than 6 months. Are you in a perpetual hurry? My 4 cylinder has been over the Passes in Estes Park and through the Eisenhower tunnel. Again you driving a Toyota pickup and there were a zillion built so parts are easy. Big deal rule, There are no bad Motorhomes, only bad previous owners. Figure $1500 for stuff needing to be fixed.

After you get a volt meter and verify that the truck battery is getting a charge (14v+) then you can just disconnect the big wire going from the truck battery to the isolator.

Emergency bypass, just bolt the two battery wires to one terminal of the isolator. Make sure that the alternator output is connected to the truck battery. The normal source of the 12v switched to trigger the solenoid is the wiper motor hot lead.

Ain't fixing the POs "fixes" fun. here is a correct diagram...https://www.etrailer.com/question-24154.html Some people will wire a switch between the coach battery and the control post, this gives them a boost function if the truck battery is weak. A cheap digital volt meter from Harbor Freight will become your new BFF, when fixing old RV wiring.

Engine running BAD...weird things... Make a new ground cable, find a bare metal bolt on the engine, run a 10 gauge or larger wire from there to the battery -, then another from the battery - to the chassis. Sand/scrape a bare spot on the chassis.

FWIW The current big deal for leaf springs is a 5-6"pad between each leaf at the U'bolts and a teflon tip. This way there is no friction between between leafs. Of course dirt will eventualy grind the tips down. Maybe a old fashion canvas wrap for the springs would help things last longer ?

Do the springs use Teflon buttons or pads at the end of each spring. Or is it all metal to metal?

I'm not sure about the A340 transmission, but the A43D uses a shift cable. Misadjustment will result in most of your symptoms. How does your trannie fluid look/smell?

About the only thing left is a lose wheel or slop in the ring and pinion

You got a serious mismatch. Any label on the "new" panel? A 12v panel usually has 22v open circuit. 33v seems to be a 24v panel. Your controller max v is 25v. Sounds like a nogo

The 7345 is smarter than the original Parallax, BUT it still ain't real smart. It will charge better, BUT again, its rest voltage is higher than the recommended float voltage for flooded batteries. Choices... 1. Replace it with a smart 4 stage charger 2. Put a timer on it, set it for 1 hr a day. 3. Use it as is and check the water levels in your battery weekly... Until you get a feel as how much water it causes the battery to lose. Then check accordingly. Q&A...http://www.bestconverter.com/

OK go for it. 99% of modern efi systems dump the return fuel in this fashion to prevent fuel foaming when the tank level is low. The fuel pressure regulator on a 22re is AFTER the injectors so they run at the required PSI. The out put of the regulator is 0 psi. Tapped into the return line my Onan ran just fine for 15 years, no flooding with the Toyota engine running, parked the genset ran just fine, going across the NV desert in the summer the genset and Toyota ran just fine running the RV and the AC. Onans have a electric fuel pump and that helps control the pressure when the ONAN engine is running.

Start here...

Here's the fuel pump assembly for a 86-95. Notice 2 fuel lines, the one pointing straight down is where the in-tank pump hooks up, the long one that points sideways is the fuel return line. https://www.am-autoparts.com/Toyota/Pickup/fuel-sending-unit/AM-3123667870/1046538.html?gclid=EAIaIQobChMI-oDwkLi43gIVj0oNCh2q_gWjEAQYBCABEgLHPfD_BwE

Here ya go Linda right up your alley, 4x4 and all, imagine this with a matching paint Sunrader on the back. https://www.mecum.com/lots/LN1118-334354/1935-chevrolet-custom-pickup/

Lift the rear.... some choices 1. Air bags.. 2. New springs AND airbags 3. Timbren springs. 4. Zuk mod Goggle away

FWIW The kinda sorta modern size replacements are 235/70-14 or 265/60-14

OK 200w of solar, working backwards.... A quality 31 group battery is 120AH, If you follow the blather about deep cycle batteries. 50% is the proper discharge point for optimum battery life vs usage. a 100w solar panel will do about 30AH a day...200w=60 AH...50% discharge of a 31 group battery is 60 AH...like wow almost a perfect match. Using large wiring to connect the 2nd battery to the power panel the batteries don't have to be side by side. Maineah's point about load is VERY important. If you are cursed by excess funds take a look at LiFEP04 batteries and matching solar chargers. A 30 lb 125 AH LiFEP04 battery will have equal usable power to your proposed 125lb 2x 6v golf cart batteries. The Li batteries will have a 4000 charge cycle life at 90% discharge vs 500 at 50% discharge for deep cycles batteries FWIW My wife uses a CPAP. Ive set her up with a 12v dc power cord, so there is no inverter loss. We had a 12v reciptical go south on a camping trip so she had to sleep on the couch and run the CPAP off the RV engine battery cigarette lighter plug. She used it for 2 days and I was still able to start the RV engine without using the booster. So her unit uses less power than we thought. Disclaimer.. My setup is 2 CG-2 6v golf cart batteries and 280w solar. Even in the summer it gets cold at 10,000ft so running the heater (35,000 btu) and CPAP and all the other stuff, Ive gone to 50% discharge over night. I won't reach 100% charge on cloudy days on sunny days it takes about 8 hr to get to100%. I'm measuring things for another 100w panel P.S. Went fishing 6 times this summer. Did good at the lakes in a Kayak. In the mountain rivers the wild native fish were a lot smarter. 2 Brookies and a Cutthroat there.

If you could mount the hinge high enough then you won't have the shading problem. BUT unless you have a solar panel cover, there is a large possibility of a rock cracking panel.

90% of the time you have to get to the fitting from the inside. There you will find a hose and a clamp, or a threaded coupler. Undo whatever and the fill fitting should come out.

After you finally get things apart, remember to use anti seize on any bolt going into aluminum. Including sparkplugs

Why do you "NEED" 2 batteries? What you need is 12v. The common group sizes for 12v batteries are 24, 27, 29, 31. Check the size of the of your space and see what the largest battery that will fit. Normal 2x 6v yields around 200 AH. a size 31 12v has around 110 AH. How big solar of a solar panel set up are you planning? A 100w panel will produce around 30 AH a day, so the panel size will sorta tell you how much battery it will support. Haven't you fished this stream before?

The extenda stay goes between the shut off valve and the regulator. The adda tank feeds high pressure propane to the system.
