Actually we had the wrong manual online that we got from another provider. The model is the Contoure Convection Microwave 190S-CON. We have updated Oliver University with the correct manual. I'm not sure why, but the box says it is a 1.2 cubic ft microwave but owner's manual says 1.1 cubic ft. Go here: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/oliver-university/ Search "Convection Microwave"

If your furnace is shutting off because if low battery, you are running the risk of shortening the battery life. If you're running the furnace a lot, and not getting a lot of sun, try running your generator an hour or two in the morning, and an hour or two in the afternoon if you're not topping out with your solar. Looking at the weather for Bend the last few days, I doubt you're getting a lot of solar power... Our furnace fan slows a little as the battery capacity drops, but it doesn't cut out til 10.6 or so, well below 50 per cent. The fridge won't work, either. They're built in safety features, but, that's still really low, and a number of days on end , depleting your power, will eventually shorten your battery life.. Cold weather boondocking is certainly challenging. Stay warm. We usually turn the furnace way down at night, and pile on a good warm comforter. I also like flannel sheets for winter camping. We try to keep the trailer somewhere in the 50s at night. Easy enough to reach over and crank up the furnace in the morning, before getting completely out of the nice warm bed.

We have a 2011 v6 4runner and a 2015 Elite. We have been all over the USA towing our Elite. the 4runner has worked well for us. We get 16-17 mpg except in mountains when it goes down to 14 mpg. The 4runner gets 19-20 mpg alone. We love Toyotas and have had a Tacoma, Sequoia, and now the 4 runner. All have been great, but we really like the 4Runner so we can do some back country driving and camping.

My favorite camping YouTube creator loves his Zero G hose. <p style="text-align: left;">We have had one at our home for a few years & can vouch that it is sturdy. It gets regular abuse, dragged across concrete & we rarely shut off the water. After seeing this recommendation, we plan to take it on our next trip.</p> (Note: Do not buy the inexpensive knockoffs. We had two, prior to the Zero G, that blew after a few months.) Zero G hose mentioned at approx 6:45 minutes in. https://youtu.be/4lcMUIcKkJo https://www.acehardware.com/departments/lawn-and-garden/watering-and-irrigation/garden-hoses/7465248 Chris

That's a pretty neat hose that Steve posted. But unless I misunderstand, it would not protect the spigot from freezing. Remember you have around 30 gallons of water to use in your FWT. If it was me, and I was in your situation, I would just use the FWT all the time. Then if it begins to run low, fire up the hose and refill the tank, then disconnect again. During fillup, you could also fill a container for drinking water if you don't want to drink out of your FWT, like some of us do. Just my 2 cents. Dave

In my experience, (having recently shopped extensively for tow vehicles) website / brochure payload specs seldom match what's on the door jamb sticker of actual vehicles, except for the lowest trim, least-configured vehicles. I wouldn't put too much stock in the above being correct (I don't mean you, John; I mean the specs). However I would be happy to be wrong in this case.
