    I'm going to Charlotte. Yes. I'm hearing a lot of people say automobile audio install shop. I'm going to read the directions, and if I don't feel comfortable I'll just call them. Thanks.

    Yeah Master Fleet in GB installs them, but a little more than I wanted to pay. It was $200 with my inverter and my cables, but they did a good job and put an inline fuse as well. I would have done it somewhere else, but I wanted installed by the time I finished orientation. I brought my microwave and wanted to use it as quickly as possible. About $450 will get you a 1500 watt from them installed. A little spendy, but its ready to go when you leave out.

    Yeah that's why I let them do mine in GB. If something happened, they would be looking at who installed it and in my case it would be Master Fleet. CYA is the best way to go.

    Hmm I'm starting to wonder if I may have some crap in my tanks. APU still running weird, sometimes it starts and runs fine other times it spits and sputters for a while before it will run smooth. On my way through NY coming down a hill I got a check engine light so I pulled off at the next rest area and hooked the engine up to Insite and got the code, complaining about low fuel pressure at high engine speed. So now I'm wondering if my primary filter on the truck is clogging as well. Unfortunately I don't have a mechanical fuel pressure gauge so its hard to say what it's actually doing. Gonna finish up the trip to Binghamton then deadhead down to Carlisle and take a look at things. Once I get to Carlisle hopefully I can hook up to my laptop again and find the readout in there and see what the pressure does at different RPMs.

    Anyone gonna be in Carlisle Thursday?
