Joe,
I would concur. I have 52K on my 2010 F-450 and still on the original tires. The fronts are showing some wear but I'll bet the rears go at least another 30K!

RodeWorthy and Tom,

It's actually a colored caulk. I had gotten the supplier/information off the forum back in 2007 and ordered it online. The only problem is now I can't find what to order!

That is correct. You'll need a double 50amp beaker for each leg/side (of 125V) on the power panel. Then when you wire the 50A outlet, you'll have two wires hot (each 125V and out of phase);...

Mike,
I'd have to agree. The odds are very low that the shore power in an RV park will be lost. A generator is an expensive proposition.

You are correct. However, in this case, the bolt that was removed was Grade 8 (based on markings on the bolt head). I was unable to get Grade 8 bolts at Lowes, so I opted for a Grade 5.
