They weren't making them back then. -

Slow Fresh Water Drain; Dewinterizing
ScubaRx replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Why not just use the city water connection to flush all the lines? Then all the flush water will go into the gray tank. Also you don’t have to run your pump. Some folks (myself included) will sometimes overthink a simple issue. Oliver dropped the ball on this one. -
Slow Fresh Water Drain; Dewinterizing
ScubaRx replied to Gliddenwoods's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Open the drain while driving to your destination. But why does your fresh water tank have any water in it if it’s supposed to be winterized? -
I'm in and out of that area many times a year. I took out the caddy (that I found useless for my needs) 5-6 years ago and installed a marine hatch for easy access. I am currently using it to assist me running new electrical wiring, some air lines and repairing some old wiring. One of the best mods I've done so far.

Has anyone here ever actually found a clogged grease zerk? My Dewalt gun will exert 10K psi. The only times I experienced a failure to accept grease situation has been due to improper alignment of the holes in the wet bolt or too much pressure covering the hole from the tire. They should be installed with the exit hole pointing horizontal (parallel) to the ground. Never vertically (perpendicular) to the ground. The only way to determine their orientation is to remove the wet bolt.

That’s like saying, “Other than all that Mrs Lincoln, did you enjoy the play?”

The hydraulic crimping tool cost me $35 off eBay and I’ve used it for dozens of projects other than making 4/0 cables. -
Good thinking.

Looking for details about Oliver’s new bathroom door design
ScubaRx replied to Snackchaser's topic in Ollie Modifications
@MAX Burner has a Husky that has figured out how to unlock and open the door from the inside. They are afraid to leave their vehicle keys unattended for fear of him leaving in the truck. -
3500 pound versus 5200 pound axles on a LE2
ScubaRx replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
I thought the heavier duty axles had 12" brakes. -
3500 pound versus 5200 pound axles on a LE2
ScubaRx replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
There have been lots of owners to swap to the (now standard) 5200 pound axles. It makes good sense if you’re installing the HD springs. Plus, you avoid the hassle of having to service the bearings. -
Houghton Retrofit Process & Questions
ScubaRx replied to Geronimo John's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
After reading this thread, I’m really glad that our 10 yo Dometic equipment is still working perfectly and we’re still happy with it. The fan noise from the A/C has never bothered us and it blocks out any noise from outside. -
Just one oxygen molecule.

HOW TO: VIP 3000 Electric Stabilizer Jack Service Part 2
ScubaRx replied to dmtaylor2's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
The two that go thru the frame. -
Does it fold up flat? As is, it’s too large to carry easily and would be hard to pack around it.

HOW TO: VIP 3000 Electric Stabilizer Jack Service Part 2
ScubaRx replied to dmtaylor2's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
You can effortlessly take the entire rear jack out in 10 minutes by removing only two bolts. I’ve done both of mine several times each. Then you can take the jack to the shop and work on any part of it. If anyone at the rally is interested, I will be happy to show you how it’s done. -

Looking for details about Oliver’s new bathroom door design
ScubaRx replied to Snackchaser's topic in Ollie Modifications
A magnetic catch is indeed useful. However if your trailer is level (particularly side to side) the door will stay in any position you leave it. In fact, I use the bathroom door as an indicator of how level the trailer is. -
My greatest takeaway was he kept stating he would never be able get the inside of his RV to 86 degrees with his truma. I’ve gotten our Oliver to more than that (accidentally) with only a small electric heater. It could be that the van is not nearly as efficient at reducing heat transfer as our Oliver’s are.

Pex tools used to be very expensive. Now for about the price of 3 or 4 shark bite fittings you can buy a complete set of tools and crimps from Amazon. https://a.co/d/fMcntAT
