My credo
If it doesn't fit, force it!
I think I would move the stack. I know if I had it camping some drunk ass would grab hold of it to climb in right after I parked it.

Funny you should say that......




Going to extend the tip out to the edge of the body, but other that that,,,,,,, exhaust is done!

Stock 09 FSD minus the muffler, even the differential hump was in the right spot!

Im not sure what your telling me.... Im am (was) knowledgeable on AC. But its been 20 yrs since i went to school for it, and if you dont use it you loose it. Im guessing i lost it... :)

I talked to my local RV repair shop about your reply. He said there is a "switch" on the camper i need to get too. I cant remember exactly what he called it, but i can find it.
Will this switch solve the problem your talking about?
Thanks for the help!!
I don't know what he is talking about. What I am saying is that the neutral and ground will be bonded in that genset, as they should be. If they aren't, bond them. Campground electrical should NOT be on a GFCI, but they sometimes are. If they are, your electric box won't work unless you take the neutral wire off where the gen connects. I've had to do this 3x since 2004. Doesn't seem like a lot, but not having the AC and fridge going for a day or so when you bothered to bring it kind of sux.
