    Mine has the tow package too, but it's the OR so it had the 3 leaf pack only.

    I went with Firestone's + Daystar Airbag Cradles, you commented on the thread I started on them. I'm really happy with it thus far, just hope it holds up over time.

    I really need to weigh the boat/trailer but the tongue weight shouldn't be that much. I estimate the entire rig to be around 5,000 - 5,500 lbs., tongue weight is probably 4-500lbs. And good eye, that's Sausalito.

    So in the server room at work, our new UPS has been sitting there for 2 weeks. Guess what day they want me to install it?

    Lol, the day the power went out? Should just get a lil ups and do a generator install on a separate circuit. I hope your UPS is dual conversion at least.

    You guys are lucky. At least you got to -schedule- installs of that sort of DR gear before an outage occured.

    Happened the night of the Christmas party. Just sitting down to dinner when the over temp alarms started.

    All the batteries? Done too.

    [​IMG]

    Most of the guts of the UPS were OK. Just that cap and board and the batteries had to be replaced.

    [​IMG]

    Shut everything down, put the UPS in bypass, and started everything back up. UPS was down for almost 2 days waiting for batteries and parts and although the temperature shot up to well over 100*F, nothing bad happened to the equipment.

    The UPS isn't primarily DR gear. It's primary function is to provide conditioned power for the data center. It's secondary function is to carry the load during transfer to the generator-so it only needs to hold the load for a minute or so while the generator starts and comes up to speed and the transfer happens.
