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?

12,000 watts on a 5000 watt genset just won't go. You're going to have to do some load management or get a bigger generator.

It isn't that they don't know. They don't care. They want all the big Green scary trucks off the road. Educating them won't solve this.

I wouldnt risk it. That trip to Home Depot is a *CRIME*, not just a ticket, if you get caught.

Here's my take on it. Free advice and probably worth what you pay for it - The VA law looks designed to relegate MV's to this severely restricted plate and that plate only. The state police have stated they'll fail any MV presented to them for inspection. So, unless you're OK with that...

I suspect the switch is wired wrong or faulty.

A set of towbars pays for themselves the first time they are used. Lots of people in your area with vehicles capable of towing a deuce if you break down.

Severe duty does not necessarily mean finer filtration. Severe duty typically means more surface area so that it takes more dirt to clog it before you start seeing reduction in airflow. The additional surface area typically flows more air when clean than a standard duty. If you want to tamper...

I am continually amazed at what people consider an "upgrade". Trading filtering efficency for potentially more airflow will almost certainly not flow enough more air to make any perceptible difference. It will, however, most likely flow enough more dirt and grit to make a measurable difference...

Flail chest syndrome is nothing to be taken lightly. In the crash you describe, it'd rate #1 or possibly #2 as high priority. So far from the least of your concerns and more like the most.....
