Had a similar situation in a horse trailer...Check the fuses on the back of the converter itself. This solved my problem. That converter sends power to the batteries for charging while you are connected to shore power so they may have shorted to ground and blown the fuses....
2010, 245K miles, on my 3th set of Duratracs and 5th set of U-joints. I've changed a wheel hub, batteries, brakes, and a plug on the AC blower motor. The U-joint issue was probably caused by oversized tires and towing a Kubota more than I should. As others have said, it is not a large vehicle, a...

I built a 300 Blackout in AR platform and put a VX-5 2-10 scope for my then 9 YO. Now he has a 308 bolt gun and shoots Hornady Custom Lite ammo out of it so his younger sister can use the AR. The AR fit him better which helped teach proper sight alignment....

re: 9mm rat shot for pests

Works as advertised. I used CCI in a Ruger LCR 357. BUT be aware that a day on the lease riding a tractor can cause the plastic caps to loosen. Then the recoil from a shot can cause the caps to extend past the cylinder and stop any follow-up shots until the caps are seated back in the case. Not real...

The first one has two brown wires (tail lights) to connect one to each side. Green-brown for right and yellow-brown for left. Either will work....
It's easing up, and I believe prices will fall sooner rather than later. The vast competition in online ammo retailers will drive prices down as their inventory increases. Ex: I bought 3 boxes of 300WM (Norma whitetail 150 gr) from PSA yesterday for $107 shipped to my door. I thought that was a pret...

I recommend the Duratracs as well, especially on a Colorado. First set on my Tacoma went 104,000 miles, second set just turned 55,000 and still rolling. They track and pull very well off-road on small vehicles. I tried the Goodyears because the BFG KO2's on my GMC 1500 did not track very well at all...

I can't speak to the Ferris, but I have a Scag with the suspension seat. If the yard is rough I would definitely recommend suspension seat on whatever brand you buy. And my Scag has been great for the 3 seasons I've had it. Cut 3 acre yard weekly and 2 acres around the cow barn bi-weekly. ...
I have that same PSA .300 B.O. upper on a Springfield Saint lower. No complaints, my 9 y.o. son used it to take his first deer with it in January. 125 yards, 120# doe, DRT. 150 grn Winchester deer season XP. I have a VX5 2-10x42 scope on it. It is a very light and handy setup that I hunt with in sho...

re: Fastest mower for 6-7 acres

Last year I bought a Scag Tiger Cat 52" to cut 3 acres. I have been extremely pleased with it. I'm not a fan of hustlers. Whatever you get, make sure it has a suspension seat. It's a game changer... Another thing to think about...if your land is not flat, be mindful of the larger deck because you...

I flew this year NOLA to LAX then SFO to NOLA... NOLA was no problem...fill out form, show them locked hard case, hand it over. SFO was more intensive, but still no problem...fill out form, then TSA came and took me to the side. They thoroughly searched my bag and swabbed for explosives (whic...

I built one back in 2009 that I lived in for 5 years. I bought a Mueller building and had some iron workers erect it on their weekends off. Took 3 weekends to get it done but they were cheaper than hiring a company. Where are you located? I can give you lots of info for what to do and not do....

I have nightforce, Leupold vx-5, votex diamondback, burris, and Nikon. I would go Nikon Monarch (or whatever their 1" equivalent is now) in the sub-$500 range. I highly recommend NOT looking at high-end glass if it's not in your budget. It will spoil you... I do love my Tikka's...Good luck on the...
