Re: [VAC] clearance light problem

[Ken Maggard]

Hi All,   I sure am enjoying the wealth of knowledge I'm getting from all of you. This eve I ran into something I need advice on.  Four out of five of my rear clearance lights, one tail light and the license plate light was not working.  Of course I ran out and got all new bulbs. New bulbs didn't help first the clearance lights, then did not help the tail light.  Last of all I was trying the license plate light.  I got the cover off and the base seemed a little loose so I tightened it to the body of the trailer.  When  I put the new bulb in, it came on for a second with a little wiggling and then lo and behold all my running lights went out, even those that were working including the front ones.   I'm kind of guessing I have a ground problem, or is there a 12volt fuse panel in a mystery location that I have not found yet?  I do have turn signals and brake lights still.   I welcome any suggestions.   Thanks, Ken in Phoenix 75 Argosy 26ft ----- Original Message ----- From: Vanessa Dillon To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Monday, June 12, 2000 2:48 PM Subject: Re: [VAC] towing weights How can a 23' Safari weigh 5800lbs.  Is it a newer one,  the ones from the seventies only weighed about 3800lbs.  Are you carrying a grand piano in it?

My questin is can I pull it safely with a Ford F150 5 liter with a 355 axle? I know the older Airstreams must have been lighter as I have seen many pulled by a mid sized car. I have a weight dist. hitch. Thanks  Dallas
