The jump pack is a good idea, but you have to make sure it stays charged. It's easy to forget about if you don't use it.
Another option is to carry a small battery charger. Start up the genny, plug...

You want to get your class B about 2/3 the way across the US. How to do that?

I can't imagine the exhaust getting hot enough to incinerate. And, I'm guessing it would take a cross country trip to generate enough exhaust heat to evaporate a waste tank of liquid.

Towing behind a class B

Towing behind a class B seems a little strange to me because the B is supposed to be small enough to drive around at your destination, right?
But, once you're hooked up and the canopy is deployed,...

I'm curious, how long does it take to manually prime the carb? It can sometimes take quite a while to get the genny started if it sits too long. I would think hitting the start would power the fuel...

Same issue with mine. If you leave it more than a month it's even harder to start.
I've found that cranking it 5 seconds, letting it sit for 15-30 sec, repeat... will eventually get it started. The...

Correct, the old TV ran off 12v. I added a 12v plug to the new TV so that it would also run off 12v. All the 12v wiring and the audio amp are wired up for where the TV is mounted on a swinging...

The short answer is I couldn't find a drop in replacement for mine, and the replacement process was more than I expected, but not beyond my abilities.

Resettable fuse

The high current breakers on my pleasure way are located behind a door near the floor by the heater. You can see two metal cased breakers and each has a small button on the side of the case to reset.

Yes, check your resettable breakers. Mine are behind a little door by the floor between the kitchen and bed. There is a very small button on the side of the breaker you must push to reset.
