You're worried too much about the Sprag. I just finished a 1500 mile trip in a truck equipped with a sprag... highway speed. No issues.

My personal opinion about sprag vs air shift transfer is that it isn't such a big deal. In the deuces, they are thought to be more fragile than the air shift variant. They have much less tolerance for allowing the vehicle to roll backwards while in a forward gear. Sprag transfers work just fine...

The transfer case is sprag instead of air. Air transfer is the preferred variant. You're in VA. I sent you a link you'll want to read. (Not a sales pitch).

Angle grinder and a fine brush. Or fine steel wool.

Speaking from experience as a trauma nurse, the single best predictor of relative injuries is the relative weight of the vehicles. Obviously there are always outliers.

I speculate it's GP manipulating supply to keep prices up. GL had very limited offsite storage capacity. GP has copious amounts. GL seemed not to care if trucks sold below scrap value. GP does a good job extracting retail prices from them. I can't believe it's a true downturn in supply.

I prefer the top one due to the hazard lever is more robust.

IROAN. Inspect, Replace Only As Needed.

Sorry. The way I read post #2 looked like you were referencing a recent restriction to off road only. All the more so since post #1 references a nonexistent federal off road restriction on 5tons. I'll crawl back under my rock now... Edit to add a picture of my rock. (Meteor Crater Road)

That's not a Demil code change to Offroad Only. That's a Demil code change to require an EUC, which has nothing to do with restricting them to Offroad.

I am aware of no Demil code changes to 5ton trucks. What am I missing?

Add warning flashing signs to everything, where only maybe 1% of them are needed. Teach them to ignore all of them, even this one that is in fact needed....

I'll second this endorsement. I had never seen it before a couple of weeks ago. I had the shop up the road mount a 14.00 before my latest trip and they used this stuff. It worked great. I'll be buying some before I work with any more bolt together rims.

I don't disagree with any of this. Let me paraphrase and emphasize some things you didn't. Correct any misconception I have: Feed the RV 26amps of 240v. The RV will split it out to 52amps of 120v and will do a better job balancing it than we can. The 6/4 cable is good, and probably overkill...

When it's hot outside and time to do laundry you're going to have to choose between the air conditioner and the water heater.

Yes absolutely. But if you drop it to 120v by whatever means, that 26amps becomes 52amps. The relationship of amps times volts = watts remains constant. Watt value shouldn't exceed 6000.

I can't' read your black on OD list of what uses what. I tried unsuccessfully to change the color. My goal was to see if you're likely to see exceed 6kW.

Your battery charger looks big and bad. I find it plausible it pulls 20 amps of 120v. (Edit - looks more like 10amps, I didn't see the red) 120v x 50 amps = 6000 watts = 240v x 25 amps = just about all that very nice little Lister Petter is going to do.

50 amps at 120v = 6000 watts. I'd consider that a hard limit. We were playing with an MEP802 using my plasma cutter. My plasma cutter is 240V 50 amps. Like clockwork, if we turned it past halfway (25 amps @ 240v) the 802 would drop the load.

How many amps of 120v single phase do you plan to run at once?
