Mesothelioma Cancer Risk The power sources on which RV refrigerators operate. 120 AC means 120-volt alternating current (same as in houses); 12 DC means 12-volt direct current (same as in automobiles). Some RV appliances can operate on either electricity source and/or propane gas. Anode Rod: When used in a water heater, an anode rod attracts corrosion causing products in the water. These products attack the anode rod instead of the metal tank itself. The anode rod should be inspected yearly and changed when it is reduced to about 1/4 of its original size. The rods are used in steel water heater tanks: an aluminum tank has an inner layer of anode metal to accomplish the same thing. Anode rods should not be installed in an aluminum tank. Axle Ratio: The ratio between the pinion and ring gears in the differential that multiply the torque provided by the engine. It is the number of drive line revolutions required to turn the axle one time. For example, with a 4.10:1 axle the drive line turns 4.1 times for each full axle revolution. The higher the number, the more torque and thus more towing power. However, higher axle ration also mean less speed.

A glossary of terms helps owners become well versed in discussing vehicles, towing, service and weights Sometimes we poke fun at the government, with all its mysterious acronyms for agencies whose names are too long for anyone to remember. But the RV industry is equally bedecked with acronyms and esoteric terms that can leave the neophyte (or even the old-timer) wondering just what in the world is being discussed. To the uninitiated, RV lingo can be almost like going to an exotic restaurant where the menu is in some mysterious language, and you don't know quite what to order. The following glossary is designed to take the mystery out of commonly used terms in the RV industry. With a little study, you will be able to communicate with your RV dealer, service technician, and above all, hold your own in any serious campfire discussion.

The word trailer also applies to a vehicle being towed behind a motorhome. These laws are normally based on the amount of weight being towed. One problem with this is that it might be legal to tow a 2,000-pound trailer with no brakes in the state where you live, but as soon as you cross the state line of a bordering state it is illegal to tow the same trailer without brakes.
