Here's trim, standard equipment, and option list for 2022 Tundra: https://toyota-cms-media.s3.amazonaws.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/05/2022_Toyota_Tundra_Product_Information_FINAL.pdf

Just ordered a New Elite 2. Will be following this post very close. This is an easy fix for the company that is making these units. If we all open a ticket and call they might make the change to the jig. Using washers is a band aid fix.

Listening to different performers of Nessun Dorma lately. Really Like Paul Potts: Saw Father Ray Kelly on "Britain's Got Talent" and found on YouTube how he likes to sing at weddings, too:

That was actually a little state park in Nevada. Really neat spot. It was recommended by a ranger at Great Basin, and I'm glad he did since it's not the sort of place I'd be attracted to just seeing it on a map - pays to stay open minded. Oddly, for the first time we ran across another Oliver there, and then met the next door neighbor of another Ollie owner. The slots are mud, and so constantly changing. Most are pretty short, though a few offer some surprises, if you're comfortable with tight squeezes... Angels landing is a must, though we have some friends who went to Zion earlier this year and didn't do it. Not sure we can talk with them anymore. But I liked Hidden Canyon more -no chains! - but unfortunately it's closed now after a rockslide, perhaps permanently I've been told: Not sure I'll go out of the way to see the bicycles. But if it's on the way, I can be a sucker for a good roadside attraction if it's weird enough. But really I prefer my weirdness in rock form. Anyone familiar with this hidden moonscape?

Thanks, just what I needed. Mark

Good suggestion, I’ll turn in a ticket and make a recommendation. My shock bushings are relatively new, so not cracked yet, but just a matter of time. For those replacing their shocks, you can re-use 2 dished washers from each of the old shocks and install between the bushings and the flat bracket surface. In the meantime, I’m going to install some heavy 3/8” fender washers.

My 2021 #797 came with 2 Brightway Group Marine/RV batteries as standard. I ordered the Zamp 340W solar panels with Zamp 30A PWM controller as an option, which included the battery disconnect switch in the upper street side cabinet. No inverter, Progressive Dynamics PD9260C converter/charger. My trailer is parked about 500 miles away right now, so can’t get you all the pics you need of the buss bars etc. I have several pics on hand I took before replacing them with 2 BattleBorn 100’s. The 1/0 parallel jumpers were too short for me to use, so I ordered 12” 1/0 jumper wires from Battleborn. Wires from battery going inside to positive and negative busses are 4/0. Right Side Battery Box: Upper red + wire goes to 60A OptiFuse breaker Lower red/black + wire goes to solar panels Black wire - goes to converter/charger Left Side Battery Box Yellow - wire goes to negative buss Ive no idea how the 2022 models are configured. From what I can tell in this forum, there are many variations based on age and electrical equipment, especially inverters. For example, the PD9260C converter does not have a lithium setting, but a $25 plug in pendent converts it. There is no positive buss on mine, all + wires are bolted into the OptiFuse breaker. Frankly, that section is a mess I intend to modify soon, I was waiting for my warranty period to expire. It all works great however. If you PM me your email, I can send higher resolution pics you can zoom in on.

thanks, and I agree re: the policy

Never heard Kacey before, great sound!

We saw him in concert in the 70s, great show!

Hello to the Elite II heading south on I-35 in Kansas just north of the Oklahoma border at around noon today. We were traveling without our trailer, which seemed really weird. Mike

We just got back from a trip and didn't have much trouble finding spots. I made two reservations ahead of time that I knew we'd need - Great Basin and Palo Duro - but everything else was either BLM or no reservations and had no problems. Could have done USFS at Great Basin, but the campground was mostly empty after the first night, so it was just as well.

Another situation where a map wouldn't be much use. Nor GPS. I hope everyone is carrying a long piece of string. 😝

Thanks for the advice and tips. I realize its most likely overkill, but there is certainly a pattern of that with me. Good to hear that OTT will do it in production. And I am a Troll. Grew up and was educated in PA, then purchased a business in southern Michigan which I ran for 33 years and sold it a few years ago. We will most likely be doing some remote consulting for a few years.

Very eloquently put, as usual for RB. Mossey

I will add to the elasticity verbiage - perhaps the Covid effects on our RV experience centered around time elasticity. The shoulder seasons have always been our best times for discovery, avoiding the "on" season crowd. As my SO enjoys her professional life way past normal retirement - time is not as elastic as it could be -a little more rigid than I prefer. I'm also finding my physical "elasticity" waning with each cycle around the sun. Ahh such is life. RB

My undergraduate degree is in Economics. Your use of the term "price elastic" makes perfect sense to me in this context. As does the Idaho State Parks policy. Washington residents are not paying Idaho state taxes to support Idaho state parks, so it is fair to charge Washington residents more to use them. I was a Washington State resident for 35 years, but now live in Idaho again, so I have experienced both sides of that issue.

A couple of three foot sections of pex pipe and an assortment of "Sharkbite" fittings - 90 degree, straight. There is a thread here on the Forum where this is covered in some detail where opinions ranging from extra fittings to extra water pumps is covered. Bill

Who needs a house up on a hill When you can have one on four wheels And take it anywhere the wind might blow You don't ever have to mow the yard Just hang a map and throw a dart And pray to God the engine starts and go Water and electric and a place to drain the septic Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you So come on hitch your wagon To the living room I'm draggin' If I can't bring you to my house I'll bring my house to you Parking lots and county lines Coutin' mile marker signs Where the buffalo and antelope Greetings from Niagara Falls One more postcard for the wall Off in our home sweet home away from home Water and electric and a place to drain the septic Any KOA is A-OK as long as I'm with you So come on hitch your wagon To the living room I'm draggin' If I can't bring you to my house I'll bring my house to you In Washington, in Idaho In Oregon and away we go To Tennessee and Arkansas No we won't stop 'til we've seen 'em all 'Til we've seen 'em all So what else could you ask for? You don't even need a passport To see the whole world from our living room So come on hitch your wagon To the happiness I'm draggin' If I can't bring you to my house I'll bring my house to you If I can't bring you to my house I'll bring my house to you It don't matter where we go We'll never be alone Anywhere besides you, is a place that I'll call home It don't matter where we go We'll never be alone Anywhere besides you is a place that I'll call home

So, I'm a few days late for "throwback Thursday. " Sunday night will have to do. Camping makes me feel younger, most of the time. Rod Stewart.

We are impatiently waiting on the 2022 Tundra, too. Our 2016 Tundra looked fine with Ollie, too:

Actually, thinking about it, I believe that the standard fridge sits lower than mine - right at the floor? That’s probably why the ‘baffle’ exists, since it’s just an extension of the rear wall of the fridge compartment. If so, then you’d be cutting into the fridge compartment. Perhaps that makes the situation worse, since you’re then dependent on air making it’s way around the fridge to get into the basement. Either way, the dinette is certainly an easier solution. If your weep vents are anything like mine, they’re 90% blocked with fiberglass dust gunk from construction, so probably not much to worry about.

There is a possible excellent reason that the Ollie engineers chose the existing location for the air return in an LE2. I woke up at 4:00AM and it just popped into my head. There are a dozen moisture vent/ drain holes in the bottom of the hull, the ones with those cute little stainless steel covers. The covers face rearwards so IMHO when the trailer is moving they will provide a slight suction effect, which is good for drainage. (I can’t imagine another possible reason for taking the time and expense to install them all with rivets. Most manufacturers would not bother.) HOWEVER, in addition to letting out condensation or an actual water leak, they will also let air go back inside the outer hull when the trailer is stopped and there is a low pressure created inside, like turning on an exhaust fan with all the windows closed. Duh. But if you relocate the furnace grill to the far side of the cabin, you are essentially creating a slight vacuum under the floor with the furnace fan, so air is going to be pulled inside through those holes. A little air infiltration isn’t bad, but on a really frigid day it will also suck in trickles of freezing cold outside air right where you don’t want it, under the tanks and plumbing. With the existing location there is no suction created under the floor, instead the cabin air enters directly. So maybe they really did choose this spot for a good reason. A lot of “jet engine” fan noise may be preferable to drawing in cold air through the drains. A completely sealed return air duct from a single opening under the dinette would 100% fix that (like in a home HVAC system). It would have to be huge with no restrictions, so I see no way that could work in an Ollie. If you could put one way check valves at the drain holes, they would prevent air entry when the furnace was going, but it would also stop that beneficial movement when you are running an exhaust fan. Or you could crawl outside with duct tape every time it got really cold.... or install those interesting inflatable winter trailer skirts. .... https://www.airskirts.com/ We need to measure those holes and calculate how many square inches they represent, combined. My guess is about 10 square inches, which is pretty big for an active air leak in a small trailer. My other guess is that the average owner camping in moderately cold weather would find that this is a non issue, but one that plans to camp in sub zero temperatures at the ski resort (or Texas during a Polar Vortex) with water in the tanks and lines should avoid changing the furnace vent! I am half asleep, the actual flow there may be negligible, so this is either complete nonsense or in fact pure brilliance. Please discuss after you have had your morning coffee. Thanks!

I'm just happy that a thread I started has eventually evolved to the topic of Shower Beers. ;)

We had Hughes Net at one time but it constantly buffered. We ended up canceling it and just use our cell service. We are signed up about 6 months now and still waiting on Mid-Late 2021... 😞
