Are we there yet???

My guess is there is a delay at the start of a unit as it begins production. Supplies for that particular unit are gathered. A frame is built and polished. Tires and suspension put on. And then four main units produced. My guess is a production number is assigned well before a unit actually is a rolling chassis. I had heard that vin #/hull numbers are assigned earlier now than before. I knew when we picked our unit up we had to call back home with our number to get our insurance activated. Tenn. temp license was good for 30 days, but it would have been nice to register at home first, as we had expired plate for about two weeks on our leisurely trip home. I think they changed when some folks needed the numbers for financial reasons...

I programmed the Dill TPMS system before I left Iowa a couple of days ago. Simple process. Discovered that you can rotate the tires without creating problems with the info provided on the monitor. When you rotate, you can make adjustments in the monitor hardware to identify the new locations of the sensors. I’ve traveled about 800 miles with the Dill system and I’m very happy with the setup. I feel very fortunate that I towed my Ollie over 20k miles without a TPMS system without having any issues with my tires. What convinced me to buy a TPMS system for the Ollie was the fact that I’ve had issues with slow leaks in tires on my tow vehicle while traveling with the Ollie. Without the TPNS system in my Touareg, would I have noticed the low tires in time-probably not despite the fact that I know I should check tire pressures each day before starting out.
