Topgun is catching some beauties! He sent these photo’s today. Good for Bill!

John Davies suggested that I should start a new thread about my Tuson TPMS installation and attach some pictures. The first picture shows the Blue Sea bus bar, 4 fused circuits, that I installed under the dinette seat adjacent to the pantry. This is where the ground bar is located and as far as my power cable from the repeater reached. The repeater is installed under the dinette seat adjacent to the bathroom. Tuson says they want the repeater as far forward as possible and facing a certain direction too. I snaked the cable in the basement under dinette and there is a picture that shows where I installed it. In this picture, you can see the power cable that I ran to the Blue Sea bus bar. It is fused too. The two spares are still attached via a tie wrap and can be see right behind the transfer switch cable. You can see the smaller red power cable connected to the first circuit on the bus bar. If you look closely, you will see that I added a 4 position ground bar which tees with the original ground bar. I removed the screw that Oliver installed to hold the ground bar and replaced with one long enough to account for the thickness of the 4 position ground bar. The next picture shows the Oliver main 12 volt bus bar. The orientation is messed up, but left is down and right is up. This bus bar is located just beyond the fused breaker under the street side bed adjacent to the pantry. The power cable that supplies the bus bar I installed is connected over the positive battery cable that is fed from the fused breaker just visible to the right, but displayed on the bottom of this picture. The third picture is an additional picture of the fused power cable that I installed. Finally, the fourth picture shows the TPMS repeater and I snapped the picture upside down. It is attached with the peel and stick rubber backing. The wire adjacent to it is power for the LED courtesy light on the dinette seat wall adjacent to the aisle. I am not sure how important it is or not, but one of purported benefits of installing the repeater using the battery power is to get readings from the RV batteries while you drive. I am not sure how important that really is, but Tuson really wants me to have the repeater installed due to the overall length of the trailer. The repeater could be installed on the outside because it is waterproof. It only activates, like the TPMS transmitters inside the tires, when the trailer moves, so they are all powered off when the RV is sitting still after a period of time. The LED display is pretty old school, but the functionality seems good. The display can rotate between the tire pressure, tire temperature and battery reading or the preferred screen can be selected. It alarms for low and high pressure and high temperature. Low tire pressure will activate the TPMS sender too without the RV moving which I will test at some point. David Caswell

Thanks John, David is going to remove the fuses. Paula

About every 800 miles, less in the city. Ideally an official solution on the DM would involve deferring regen and eventually forcing a manual regen. I know the PSD when properly equipped won't regen until you tell it to - that is usually a fleet option though. Since I bought my truck off the lot I didn't look too deeply into GM's equivalent options. Edit to add: there are also options like the Banks iDash that can force/monitor/do other things, but I really am more interested in a factory option. New generator (propane) comes tomorrow, and I'll happily use that instead of voiding the warranty on my engine.

We ordered an Elite II in June.. pick up is in November.. so we can’t wait for fall to get here..Sold our faithful old Casita today, strange watching her head down the road without us, but it was fun helping the new owners get acquainted with their new camper, having driven over 1500 miles just about straight through to get here. They have never had a camper, never been in a Casita.. they were super excited to say the least.. As I watched, I kept thinking about how exciting it will be when it’s our turn to load up all kinds of gear in the truck, head to Tennessee to pick up our new camper, then go hide at Davy Crockett St Park for a couple days trying to figure it all out...Four more months to go..

Hello dharmardr. Ann and Grayson. We (hull 537 Beacon) are also located in Bristol on the other side of the peninsula right by Pemaquid beach. I am looking out my window at the new beach pavillion. We just got back from a short 3 days to Monhegan. Just let us know when your around. We live here year round and head south after new years in the Oliver. Feel free to contact us any time. We enjoy meeting new folks in the area. Matt and Nancy Monroe or (Mattnan) on this forum.

Some of the "stuff" that comes out of these things are hand sanitisers. They also take off fingerprints...

I haven't been on the Forum for some time but I just got off the phone with Steve Landrum and he mentioned that someone was talking about possible having a Mini Rally in Maine. We are Ann and Grayson Cook and are the owners on 112, and also a Cottage in Chamberlain Maine, on the Pemaquid Peninsula. We would be very interested in meeting Oliver Owners in the area.

Would you Mainers get upset if a good ole boy from Mississippi crashed that party? It wouldn't take much of an excuse for us come back to Maine. We've been up that way 3 or 4 times and have always enjoyed it.

Rally sounds like fun. But where? How many? Limit it to Ollies? Is there a CG that has limited visitors this summer that might want to "host" a group? My field might hold 5 or 6.

With Bowdoin, Gardner, New Harbor, Edgecomb, Nobleboro, and two in Woolwich, we will have to have our own mini Rally. Plus those from "away" visiting...

I love this app, just when I think they have finished they add another new feature. Find Phone Signal With New Cell Phone Coverage Maps Attached is the Verizon layer for my upcoming trip, the first this year (to the Snake River Birds of Prey Conservation Area near Boise ID.) John Davies Spokane WA

Second Campendium. Use that quite a bit. Reserve America is used as the booking system for many state parks. We normally just use the web site but they also have an app. It is called RA camping.
