2000 xantrax. Works well, I am go to research running the oven/microwave on it soon. Did no need A/C or oven this trip.

You are such a craftsman, I have the same trailer and have incorporated some of your ideas into the build. Just got back from a couple of days off grid with new batteries and inverter. I decided to install in the tunnel.

That is the perfect example of the benefits of AI. Thank you for that example. I have been utilizing AI for similar problems and find it useful. I have the same trailer and although not as polished as your installations, I have learned a tremendous amount from your posts. Please continue.

Yes, that is what the spec says. But in real life I set my speedometer adjustment for 33.25 to read correctly and it is spot on. if I was to do over, I would probably have done the LT275/70R18. Narrower tire in a slightly smaller profile. I have gone through the front end, replacing UCA...

I run LT295/70R18 Falken ATW3 on my 2500HD. Great tire, but those are all big heavy tires. Tires are a big expense anymore. But they sure last longer.

Looks like extended coverage to 10 years, 150k. I know GM covered a lot of them. Local dealer told me the parts were cheaper at the dealer because GM had to buy them back. Go figure 🤔

So, you get covered under warranty?

You probably need it, but the test I read was to pump the brakes and see if the vacuum goes away fairly quickly. Something like that. Pretty straight forward to replace.

Always prepare for every problem. The overlanding mantra.

Sounds right

Stretch belts do the A/C pump and vacuum pump if so equipped, little short belts. Have the same life as serpentine belt. Pretty straight forward to change them together.

2 belts, main and AC is stretch to fit. If you have the the Active Fuel Management it takes another stretch to fit belt for the vacuum pump. This belt is cheap at the dealer, like $5. Takes all of 20 to 30 minutes to change all of them. Just did my wife's 2018 suburban.

90,000 miles is what I was told.

Price reduced, installed a shelf and needed to remove.

Price reduced, pickup free as the shipping seems to run $80 to $100 bucks.
