My unit is considerably older than yours, but I suspect the valve is in the same location. Remove the curb side bedding, and open the forward large access door. (your unit likely has a smaller access on the side, which may (or may not) allow you to view the valve. Looking down into the compartment, you might see the water pump, some water lines, a HVAC flexible duct (mine is a shiny silver), and a bit further toward the rear, your water heater. Using a headlamp (or wife with a flashlight), gently lift the HVAC duct and look around underneath it. The valve should be there. It is small, and it is dark in there, so use the light. I promise that all the little things that seem so difficult, and even frustrating initially, become second nature after a time. Be sure to relax and enjoy the process.

This is a LOCKED thread. I wanted to put all my links in one spot so that they are easy for folks to find. Search remains a real problem with this forum! This thread does not allow comments. If you have questions, find a dead link or just want to talk, you can comment on the appropriate thread, or start a new thread or just Message me. I will add to this page as I start new threads, so hopefully it will continue to be a good up-to-date reference. NEWEST POSTS ARE AT THE TOP. I am not going to bother to alphabetize them, LOL.

You can buy a piece of heavier foam in a wedge shape to make your back rest and cover it with fabric. Or buy what I call a "Husband" back rest, that has arms so you can sit up in bed.-Nu2RV

With the 2019 Oliver Owner’s Rally less than 3 weeks away, I am going back into production of shower mats and cutting boards. If you are planning to attend the rally and would like to take deliver there and save the shipping cost, please email me at 48ocean@gmail.com or call 516.635-5656. If you’re not attending the rally and would like either, I am happy to ship to you. Shower mats - $199 Treat your feet and add an impressive upgrade to your Oliver shower. This shower mat fits perfectly and provides quick water run off while keeping your feet high & dry. Shower mats are made from Honduran mahogany in a crosshatch pattern. Designed and assembled using over 40 precision shiplap joints with brass screws and no glue, making them lightweight and very strong. They fit your Oliver shower floor perfectly, stay put during travel and will last for year to come. The crosshatch pattern drains away water quickly and keeps you from standing in water. Their rubber feet protect your shower pan and provide a non-slip grip. Please note: These are wood and as such will need a little care from time to time. After each shower, simply tilt the mat up toward your closet wall and let it dry. Every few months scrub them with a soft bristle brush let dry complete and apply a light coat of mineral oil. Cutting Boards - $89 Add some elegant counter space to your Oliver. [attachment file=Cutting Board.jpg] This cutting board, fits your sink to stay put and provides more counter space for preparing meals or just hiding the dirty dishes. Cutting boards are made to your specific sink size. They are Hondurans Mahogany and Rock Maple done in a ship decking pattern They are designed to stay in place when traveling and can be used on both sides. And can also be used for serving as a platter. Please note: These are wood and as such will need a little care from time to time. Cutting boards should be cleaned and dried after each use and a coat of plain mineral oil applied once a month to keep up their glow.

It looks great. Looking forward to seeing you out on the road! Mike

This is a super easy appliance to work on. One reason I did not buy the Truma heater is that it can't be worked on by the owner. The only thing you can't easily do with the Suburban as an owner is check and adjust the gas pressure. This thread won't cover anode replacement and other "wet" stuff like flushing the water tank. Instead it will show you how to inspect the burner can, thermocouple and ignitor and gas jet. I used a couple of special tools, you may find that you don't need them or can use an alternate. Using a Phillips screwdriver, remove the two outside screws holding on the lower wind guard, then pull it straight off. Remove the steel clip securing the gas tube to the brass jet. I was able to pull it off with my fingers. Remove the two hex head screws holding the tube and ignitor/ thermocouple bracket to the main burner can. I used a special 3/8", 1/4" drive angle socket and a long extension, you could use a regular angle "wobbly" extension. You can't easily get in there with a wrench and the screws are too tight for a flat tipped screwdriver. Remove the little shield. Here you can see the bracket, ready to come out. More to come...

We are so happy for you. Wishing you many miles of smiles. We are on our 12th season, now. Wouldn't trade the memories for anything. Sherry

I use the Dill TPMS system. It uses the same type of “in tire” sensors that my Touareg has and the monitor is small and unobtrusive. Monitors tire pressure and temperature. I towed without a TPMS system for a couple of years without any problems, but I think its a good investment.

Well welcome to the group of Vagabonds your in good company we are Hull #81 so it will be great to see you on the road one day. Be safe and good travels. Thanks Gary

Woody, Congratulations on your retirement and your purchase of hull #80. Coddiwompling around this great nation with a quality and dependable trailer will be a joy. While I don't full-time, my 11 years of coddiwompling with hull #14 have been splendiferous. May it be the same for you. See you down the road. enjoy!

I bet there will be spots left. Call after your surgery (hope it goes well) - it would be good to meet you! Mike
