  1. Instead of moving a 42 pound machine in and out of the trailer, why not just use it sitting in the outside front generator basket. It would be very simple to run a water line out through the front of the trailer to the washer or if you're in a campground simply run a hose to it from the campground tap.
  2. Even if someone posted a link on FB to your ad here, if someone followed it they would discover thy have to be a registered member here to even see it.
  3. https://www.facebook.com/groups/197254197346376/?hoisted_section_header_type=recently_seen&multi_permalinks=1488841854854264 This is the latest addition to their membership requirements. Dear members, Due to some issues that have arisen, and our desire to be consistent in application of our group rules, we have decided to eliminate Pages as members, and to also eliminate members who use obviously fake names. The purpose of this group is to be a friendly, helpful band of fellow travelers. The group is classified as Private, meaning only members can read posts. This protects us from scammers. We will be culling our member list, and contacting those members who are not using their real names. People who have experienced having their Facebook accounts scammed or cloned should know that the fact that the group is Private helps prevent those types from infiltrating the group. Also the due diligence of your administrators in vetting new join requests helps keep you safe. To increase your personal account safety, you should go to your privacy settings, and make sure your selection on who can see your posts is “friends only”.
  4. Yet, in a previous post you stated, “I think this setup would have very little problem handling an Elite II.”
  5. Without a neutral/ground plug in an outlet on the generator, no electricity will pass through the EMS. So nothing about the A/C or any other 110V appliance would run. You’d know right away because the A/C fan would not even start up.
  6. Because this unit is technically not currently for sale, and does not fall under the forum’s rules for the sale of the trailers, I will lock the thread for questions or comments for now. Let me know when you’re ready to make it official and I’ll move it to the proper area and unlock it.
  7. I'm curious about your cargo carrying capacity. Your 2019 Q7 has a maximum cargo carrying capacity of 1367 pounds. Out of that must come the weight of everything that was not installed at the factory. Tongue Weight 600-700 pounds and I wouldn't be surprised at that weight. Two averaged size adults (statistically) 340 pounds. That only leaves you around 350 pounds for all your other stuff. Pets, camping gear, chairs, tables, chocks, blocks, tools, outside grill, clam, ground rug, box of tissues, phone chargers and on and on... My toolbox alone would eat almost all that weight. Were it me, I'd get a more capable tow vehicle. The towing capacity is about the least useful statistic you can know about your vehicle. You are living on the edge.
  8. Diesel is currently $3.12 in Tupelo at Walmart.
  9. https://pchrome.com/5-ways-can-turn-plastic-chrome/ See last section… Spray chrome PChrome is a spray on chrome for plastic that provides the same terrific look and strength of traditional chrome plating. It can be applied in your garage or in your shop, and it has the same high-gleam polish and feel that people expect from chrome. Highly versatile, it can be used for a part of any size, and it bonds well to almost anything imaginable. It comes in several different popular shades, including blue, red, gold and silver. Of the various options for transforming plastic into chrome, spray chrome is probably the best one. Because of its ability to be applied on site, it allows you to save time. It also is affordable, costing only around 25 percent of the cost of traditional chrome plating. While you won’t really be changing plastic into chrome, you can change the cheap look of plastic parts and give them a high-end chrome finish. In order to choose the best spray chrome kit for your particular project, you’ll want to purchase one that is appropriate for your needs. If you are a do-it-yourself enthusiast, the 25 and the 50 spray chrome kits from PChrome are meant for you. If you are a shop owner, you’ll likely want to purchase a larger kit that can be used to restore multiple cars. Go ahead and order the kit that is right for you and your needs today on our website.
  10. Last week.
  11. I’m just as confused as you seem to be?
  12. We’ve always just showed our cards at National Park units. Keeping up with a number seems like more trouble than keeping up with the card.
  13. We’ve had an indoor switch for the electric side of the water heater in our Oliver since day one, over 10 years ago.
  14. You think it's hard with the regular beds, try it with the raised beds. Back in 2015 while sitting out in the AZ desert on my first long boondocking trip, I didn't think of a deck plate, still too much trouble, but of installing motorized valves. All the valves move in concert, flip a switch one way--Boondocking Aux Fill, Flip it back--Normal operation. Don't leave home without it.
  15. They should be an exact fit.
  16. These are the best deal I found and it took me a couple of years to find them. They are solid stainless steel. No outer sheath. Seat is perfect and they look great. $3.67 each.
  17. Here is a link to my project to add storage behind the propane tanks. I had to move my tanks forward somewhat to get as much room as possible. This has been made harder now with their mounting of a junction box in front of the tanks. I did this sometime in mid 2016. After seeing this post apparently there were requests made to Oliver and they asked my permission to copy what I had done. I believe this was done to a few trailers, possibly John Davies' trailer
  18. Twelve hundred extra dollars is about what Tali and I spend eating out every month. Big Whoop.
  19. I would not worry about it. Just remove the tanks and the all-thread rod and if your floor is not already covered, you will have to build a floor and depending on what you plan to carry in that area, you will have to decide if you want the floor to be solid and sealed. If that is not necessary to your needs, I would suggest using expanded wire. if your circumstances become dire enough and you find yourself in a situation where you need propane, you can just go buy a 20 pound tank at one of the exchange stations. That way you don’t have to carry it around if you don’t need it. It does sound like you haven’t needed propane in several years so the chances of a future need should the relatively slim. You can also remove the regulator for the tanks and just cap the line. This would make it easy to return to OEM status for a future owner.
  20. So this trailer would qualify as currently the one with the lowest Hull Number still on the road. It's delivery date was 01-07-2008 and it was sold for just under $30K. Tony Hodgson is not the first owner.
  21. https://www.facebook.com/photo/?fbid=627325059421214&set=a.624880736332313&__cft__[0]=AZV5iJpkRd06GmHDyiO6vZd1qH9uEQ59ObT4xMfGOeIUvW17bnC8ga6fF1AuwD23v1HzFxPtDuwBglYC8wkhyoS4lvEpo_FgB9iTIPuRanXfTGWU3MfMFVVoVsBRkxAaJqS27Inf-NJoqXEh3HeOL0ZrIKUnnSTY25Smdmn3gKvGIHGsBYCnzBwX8RxOj7pqiTFOaRTU9p5AXja8LqJvwbZM&__cft__[1]=AZV5iJpkRd06GmHDyiO6vZd1qH9uEQ59ObT4xMfGOeIUvW17bnC8ga6fF1AuwD23v1HzFxPtDuwBglYC8wkhyoS4lvEpo_FgB9iTIPuRanXfTGWU3MfMFVVoVsBRkxAaJqS27Inf-NJoqXEh3HeOL0ZrIKUnnSTY25Smdmn3gKvGIHGsBYCnzBwX8RxOj7pqiTFOaRTU9p5AXja8LqJvwbZM&__tn__=EH-y-R]-R
  22. The grease fitting ends are all the same but the thread sizes differ. Some are SAE, some are metric. Take one with you when you go to buy the new ones.
  23. I wonder if this is why I’ve seen the diesel’s here with towels stuffed into their exhausts.
