@Wandering Sagebrush Look at it this way. You have now taught all of us OTT owner's to make sure the shower water knobs are completely shut off. Thanks for posting that great lesson.

The best news is everything works, so embarrassing ones self is a lapel pin we all wear. It is a club of honor.😊

Truma Aqua Go warm not hot

Thanks Bill, I’m just irritated at myself. But… some good stuff were a result. -
FYI - Garmin has released a map update for GPS devices (at least the 890 and the 2797 models). This update must be fair large in that it took about 45 minutes to download and install. Bill

Thanks for letting everyone know! Relax in the knowledge that you are not the first and will not be the last to have this kind of issue. Certainly, I've been in that boat a bunch of times. Bill

I put on one of their tall front storage boxes using their mounting plate. Very impressed with quality and design. Fast shipping fast, easy installation. Good folks to deal with! -
Mark and Lorraine started following Collapsing Dog Bed
-
I wanted to construct a dog bed for use with the twin beds that was large enough for our golden, provided room to easily get in and out of the bed, and collapses to lay on the floor. The two cushions were made with foam from Amazon and the covers by an online custom cover supplier. The cushions can also be used for a backrest for both the twin beds while watching tv and when converting the dinette to couch. I attached felt to the edges of the platform and applied clear adhesive film to the fiberglass to prevent wear.

Gary, an early thought I had was to remove the tray as Mike did who started this upgrade post. A couple weeks later I decided to go with 2x 300AH Epoch Essentials that fit nicely in the tray sideways. Several other members have made this same battery choice. I believe only @rideadeuce has removed the tray. Mike could chime in, but how to removed the tray should become obvious. Once you empty the tray of batteries, slide it all the way out and you should se the mounting bolts. If I ever decide to add a 3rd Epoch 300A, three would fit in the bay only with the tray removed. Maybe someday. Which batteries did you order?

SOLVED - I think… Well, I feel a bit foolish, but the outside shower valves were open. They didn’t feel like it, but they were. Turning right (righty, tighty) there was considerable resistance, so I assumed (ass-u-ME) they were closed. Not the case at all he said blushingly. Dang I feel foolish! I believe a good test coming out of winterization, is to try and turn the shower valves on. If you hit a hard stop, they are on. A slight wiggle when turning right just may indicate an open valve. The temps went up to 96° before I turned the water off. The good news is the Truma is decalcified. Bad news is I am embarrassed.🙈 -
I would consider a trip to the Mothership. I'm another with very limited electrical and mechanical skills. No one knows the trailer better than Oliver. Definitely get lithium batteries. Without solar on the roof, you will always being playing the AMP Game. With AGM batteries you don't want to go below 50%, and 12.3 was always our minimum in our truck camper. All it takes is dropping below the 50% one time to damage AGM's. AGM's aren't forgiving. Damage one battery and you have to replace all of them. Lithiums are forgiving and will provide years of peace of mind. I would upgrade to 300w portable solar. Just my 2¢. Have a professional do the work or an Oliver Owner that knows his "S--t. Lots of good info provided by Craig (Galway Girl) and others.

rich.dev started following Manometer - Where to Attach?
-
While the furnace, stove, and refer all seem to function normally, I’m going to check my propane pressures to see if I’m not getting enough propane to the Truma burner. Any words of wisdom on where to attach? Edit: The Truma tech (via email) just recommended having a service technician do the pressure check.😕

Unfortunately, Mechman does not offer an alternator for your Nissan. If you are having issue with your stock alternator, a direct replacement may be all needed. However, in my situation where a 40A DC-DC charger was installed and my stock alternator was aged, the high output replacement was a great solution for my inherent battery charging system problems. If you plan or already installed a DC-DC charger, then definitely consider an upgrade. If you cannot find an aftermarket high output alternator for your specific vehicle, then check if Nissan offers an alternator with a higher amp rating. In my application, the 320A alternator required a ‘Big 3’ cable upgrade, which would even benefit a stock alternator.

Wow! The picture with the falls is beautiful. Need to put that spot on our bucket list when we hit the East Coast trip. Our Standard Poodle is Ranger. Got the Oliver because he has separation anxiety when we are gone for a week or two. Now we travel with him. Named the Ollie, “The Range Rover.” We too Love our Knucklehead.
