RE: What is the lowest voltage you have seen?
I've seen low 90s; 90, 91, 92 on a hot day. To the point my EMS disconnects me. Unacceptable IMO when you are paying for a hookup site.
I installed a Hughes autoformer, hardwired into the storage compartment so it's out of sight as I've learned many campgrounds do not allow autoformers. It's unfortunate campgrounds cover for their insufficient wiring with a rule to restrict people from using the power they paid for, rather than actually fix the issue.
It was a few years ago, but I'm about $600 total into the autoformer plus the materials needed to hardwire it, worth every penny and highly recommended.

RE: Generator dB rating
Honda 2000 - 57db
Champion 2000- 53 db
How can the Honda be quieter with a higher db rating?
I own a pair of Honda 2000s. My sister owns a pair of Champions. The Champions are great but no contest, the Hondas are quieter. Quieter at idle, quieter at mid load, quieter at full load. Quieter by far and noticeable. My Hondas are 15 years old and have around 500 hours on them. Anyone that says they are close in volume to the Champions is lying or deaf (in my opinion.) Again nothing against the Champions because they seem to be very reliable and good bang for the buck, but they are not quieter or even as quiet or even close to the Hondas.

RE: Addressing truck/wind push in a Sprinter based Class C
I have a 2019 23' C and the label recommends 60 or 65 psi, but I run 80 all around. Sometimes I tow sometimes not. Just my experience it seems to work great. Good luck.

RE: Tire Pressure?
My personal opinion you have two good options: 1) Weigh each corner fully loaded for a trip and inflate accordingly per the tire manufacturer's inflation tables (personally I add 5psi as was previously mentioned.) 2) Inflate to max, which is 80 psi for 16" LRE tires.
I use option 1 which lined up with the "yellow tag," then added 5 psi for my own neurosis. I use option 2 when I am towing with no ill effects. When in doubt, always go with the higher pressure. For LRE tires you can't go wrong with 80 psi all around (ride/handling may be affected, but load safety will not.) Again my opinion

RE: What type of oil to put in my 1976 dodge F40 sportman
I personally have several rigs with flat tappet cams as your dodge would have, and for all of them I use Shell Rotella T 15W-40. The logic behind this decision is more than I feel like typing at the moment, but I'm far from alone in this decision so a simple search will get you all you need. Chevron Delo is essentially the same as Rotella and equally as good. Kudos to you and your family for keeping an older rig on the road; older rigs usually worth the effort.
