  1. saflyer's post in Can New Sumitomo Tires Cut Fuel Mileage??....& UPDATE - Human Error! was marked as the answer   
    MODERATOR EDIT.
    Please do NOT start a NEW TOPIC with an "UPDATE".  Continue to use the same topic.  Thanks
    END OF EDIT
    Mea culpa time, maybe. After fueling yesterday I moved the coach a few feet to a spot where it tilted a little to the right. Got out to find fuel pouring out of the right hand side. I quickly opened the fueling door to find the tank cap off and hanging from its lanyard. In most cases I fuel on the left side almost always but I guess I fueled on the right side in June which was the last time before the new tires. 
    Now this doesn’t necessarily explain all of the mileage loss but it does explain some, possibly. Confounding factors: (1) I found the right side of my toad covered in fuel after one but only one refueling. (2) I would think after the loss of a few gallons fuel would no longer come out the open fill line. I did check for leaks multiple times and found no evidence of any. 
    I won’t have a chance to do another mileage test until our next trip in February. Will update then.

    I thought I was wrong once but I was mistaken.

    Found it: Knight. Is that correct?

    Ok, problem solved. Had a mobile RV tech come and in ten minutes found the problem. It was a resettable fuse or CB just downstream from the battery cutoff switch. Image attached.
     
    Thanks for everybody’s advice. I will bypass the salesman switch soon, add a DCDC charge connection for the lithiums and possibly an Amp-L-Start to keep the chassis batteries charged.
     
    One more question at the risk of thread drift. One thing I learned is my leveling leg activating switches are sticking. I need to take it out of the console and clean it. What kind of spray lube should I use?
    Thanks again,
