More Class C Mods

Friday - It looks like we dodged another one. The storm is moving northeast. Harlingen got hammered with over a foot of rain in this one storm. 

Saturday - The receiver on the class C is a couple of inches higher than the class A so I picked up a 2” drop receiver extension from Amazon. The tow bar is almost perfectly level and the additional distance from the rear bumper should help on sharp turns. The extension is solid steel (not a tube) and rated at 10k pounds which is more than the hitch or the tow bar. Plus, we could add a bike rack and still tow the Jeep.

I tried the setup down Hwy 90 and you can definitely feel the additional weight when accelerating or braking. On the class A, you can’t tell anything is back there. I ended up disassembling the Ready Brake mechanism as it was pretty filthy from the 25k miles of use behind the oil spewing RV. 

I turned on the Multiplus to see how much power it uses with nothing running as this would be the norm. I initially noticed that it was drawing 15amps. This was the converter charging the AGM battery. I turned off the breaker for the converter.

It was a hot, humid day today and we ended up having dinner at Cowboys in D’Hanis. I was too tired to cook tonight.
