Hi Mike,
I'll try to word this politely. You're asking common sense questions. You should be able to answer ALL these questions by yourself, using ONLY common knowledge and the info you have provided. (with the exception of the questions if folks have seen or used these.)
1. What is the smallest RV it can be used with? That is, can it be
used with a: tent trailer, or truck camper on a 1983 Toyota pickup
truck? Is there a minimum tire size or RV weight for safe use? Or
is the smallest is a 1 ton pick-up and a 28 foot long trailer
required as the brochure shows?
Why does size matter? Why are you asking about irrelevant things? The weight of the RV is what holds this in place. The weight of the vehicle doesn't affect the weight the RV tires apply to the ground. In case you didn't notice, the RV in the sales ad has tandem axles, which reduces the weight each tire carries.
2. Would the use with such a small RV require the use of guy wires?
If the wind is blowing strong enough to lift your vehicle off the tower base, you have more important things to worry about - like catching your runaway vehicle. Hint: The tower doesn't come with guy wire attachments, so you won't use guy wires.
3. Are there wind conditions in which guy wires would be required with any RV?
Yes. Guy wires should be used during any windstorm that you have chained your RV to the ground to keep it from blowing away.
4. Does it have to be absolutely vertical to function properly? If it
has to be absolutely vertical, what has to be done if the camping
site is not level? It appears that if one levels the RV for use it
does not level the wind tower?
No. The wind only blows at absolutely vertical. The wind doesn't blow at 0.002 degrees from absolutely vertical - and since wind is required to obtain electric, no wind means no electric. Use rocks under one side of the base to level it before driving the tire onto the base. Wait, you should buy a special shim kit so you can get the base within the allotted .002 specification.
5. Does the tower have to be fully extended in order to function?
Or can it be used at a shorter height?
Is this a trick question Mike? It's an AirX - they don't function unless you have hurricane winds. However, hurricane winds don't blow unless you are at the full 20 feet extension. Besides, if you have the tower set at the 7 foot minimum height, the blades will probably be hitting the RV. Also, if the tower is less than 20 feet, you'll be so close to the screaming Banshee, I mean turbine, that the noise will be too unbearable to be able to sleep anyways.
6. If the wind is really blowing strong, can the tower bump against the RV?
Absolutely not. Didn't your Mother ever teach you about things that go bump in the night?
7. In the photo captioned: "6 Fasten two remaining bolts to secure
base in upright position." It appears the user is wearing gloves.
Is that a requirement for installation?
Yes Mike. The acid from your skin will corrode the bolts if you don't. You don't want this thing falling on your head in the middle of the night do you? Also, if you don't wear gloves, you might actually (shudders) get your hands dirty.
