To make sure that if the generator is connected to a residential service that will always be code complainant. You can't have more than one neutral/ground bond in a system, and since a residential main panel is already bonded you would be violating code and creating a possible hazardous condition. Edit- I shouldn't have said "always be code compliant" since there are ways to connect a generator to a residential system that will violate code even if you use a floating neutral generator.

Yes, using a bonding plug makes it safer by providing a low resistance path back to the generator to trip the breaker in the generator if a short to the metal case of an appliance inside the RV or the generator itself occurs. When it comes to the ground rod system in a residential system, it is there for voltage stabilization and surge dissipation, not to trip breakers. In fact, if the neutral and grounding electrode system are not bonded in the service panel you could connect a hot conductor straight to the ground rod and it will not trip the breaker. You need the bonding in the panel to provide a path back to the transformer for that to happen. You get that path when the ground and neutral are bonded in the service panel, completing the circuit back to the utility transformer's neutral point.

Never at an outlet. This is known as a "bootleg ground" and can cause dangerous situations.

I used this method to adjust mine and it worked perfectly. Really like this model awning for its simplicity and ruggedness in windy conditions. It is a good idea to keep a spare gearbox for it on hand, though.. Mine last one went bad and took almost 2 weeks to source another. Nice job on the install!

What a bunch of clowns!

Since you had the latch pinned, I would assume that the issue was caused by the wire part that connected from the latch to the collar. I don't see how that collar can slide back allowing the coupler to open without some type of deformation to, or disconnection of, that wire. Let us know what Bulldog tells you.

Wow, glad you and your Ollie are OK! I can't even visualize how this can happen if the latch is locked/pinned unless the wire part that attaches from the latch to the collar is bent or broken. Do you have any pics from the topside?

Lol, no matter how hard I try, the only way my brain sees it is half the diameter of the axle tube and the thickness of the leaf pack. Like I said, I might be looking at it wrong... edit- Just drew it out and now it makes sense. Time to go to bed!

Maybe I'm looking at it wrong, but since the axle is in the center of the tube, shouldn't it only raise the Oliver by half the diameter of the axle tube plus the height of the leaf pack?

I used the stainless steel version of these when I added LED strip lights under my awning a few years ago. Love them.. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/9314-curbside-led-strip-lighting/?_rid=6801

Well, I had a feeling this was coming... I hope it backfires on them in the worst possible way. Will Prowse Sued by Dragonfly Energy Over Alleged False and Misleading Claims About Battle Born Batteries

Thanks! Our 2010 did not come with a boondock connection and I'm going to have to build one of these before we start our big adventures.

The new Apex X23 model comes with a Houghton 48 volt AC / heat pump..

I use one of these to make quick work of finding wires- Tone generator and wand.
