I wholeheartedly agree this is a much stronger solution than using the connectors that Andersen provides.

Depending on which model/engine your dad's taco has the towing capacity will vary between 3500-6400 lbs. Your Elite will weigh in at well over 4000 pounds loaded and ready to camp.

We were once stuck in Winslow, AZ with a major sand storm headed directly for us with predicted wind speeds around 40-50mph. A seasoned truck driver walked over to where we were parked and advised us to put the truck/trailer combo pointed into the wind with which ever end that was least important facing the oncoming wind. He claimed he'd seen the sand storms take all the paint off vehicles that were not oriented correctly into the wind. We took his advice and did not suffer any damage.

Opportunity for a FREE ZARCOR door window upgrade!

Does it block all the light coming in at night? -
If either or both of these valves are open, you would only have have water pouring out onto the the ground. There is no mixing valve in that area. The article referenced was about a setup in a motor home. None of its components and certainly not its plumbing layout would be the same as in our Oliver’s. I doubt this will be the solution to your issue.

For Hawaii, Spam is no mere novelty. On average, Hawaiians consume more than five cans of the stuff per person per year — more than any other U.S. state. SPAM: Special Processed American Meat. Personally, I'd rather have possum and sweet potatoes with a side of foie gras.

Leaking Propane Hoses to Regulator
ScubaRx replied to Wayfinder's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Very nice setup, our unit was built in late 2013 and may well be in poor shape. I will check the hoses out tomorrow. -
This one is totally different but one of my exceptions to the 21st century rule. I first discovered it in a LG phone commercial back in 2016 starring Jason Statham. You'll notice that he plays every part in the video, well with the exception of the bulls. Busy Signal, Everybody Move Here's the whole song... In case you want to sing along here are the lyrics...

Having come into musical maturity listening to the Rock N' Roll of the late 50's and all through the 60's, I can attest that I've never been a Country music fan. By the mid 70's I was rather oblivious to what had become popular and I drifted thru the 80's and 90's really not paying much attention. One evening in mid 1999 as I was leaving to go home from work one of our technicians asked me if I had ever heard of a new internet site called Napster, I told him that I was not familiar with it and he explained that by using it, a person could (for free) download any song ever written. Being of a different ethnicity, I assured him that none of the music I would be interested in would be available there. Later, at home, I decided to look into the program. I downloaded the software, installed and then ran it. I don't remember the interface being too difficult asking only for an artist and song title. All of a sudden I could not think of a single song to download. Then I remembered one of my favorite songs from 1965, Bob Lind's Elusive Butterfly. I typed it in and hit enter. Almost immediately, a list of selections to choose from came up. I chose one and hit the download button. Well, this was still in the dial-up days of the internet and it took several minutes but it finally completely downloaded and I pressed play. Oh my goodness. It was at that second I had a sudden, intuitive perception or insight into the reality or essential meaning of something, initiated by the simple, homely, and commonplace task of downloading of a file (or as some might say, an epiphany.) It was at that moment I realized I wanted more songs, in fact I wanted all of them. So began a quest to download and catalog every Billboard Hot 100 song from 1940 to 1999. It took me 10 years. I now love the songs from the 80's and can tolerate most of them from the 70's. The 90's not so much. With a few exceptions, I skip virtually all the songs of the last two decades. This is one of my exceptions...

Ours has ridden >150K miles in the up position, 90% of the time with 80psi in the tires. I’ve found it down only a couple of times. It sounds as if some have not tightened the adjustment screws properly.

Oliver demos in Tampa area, week of RV Supershow

No, there’s a group of us that will be headed toward Quartzsite during that time. -

And getting a truck big enough to haul everything will get you admitted to the cool kids club. -
Here's wishing a Merry Christmas to all. Looking forward to seeing everyone at Quartzsite and/or The Rally. Steve, Tali, Reacher and Rocky

I'M NOT BANNING ARNOLD, you ban him. 😄

Won't happen. The Elite II's don't have the Correct Axles for the changeover and that's 90% of the units sold. Just my two cents worth, and like yours, worth every penny.

Just be glad it isn’t you. https://www.facebook.com/1184617314918277/posts/pfbid02YD7fS9AA2XybTCqqjPVXD3bE13anT7gWMzHA9oNNYmrGQ5aRS5WTaA1EGwWAz8dMl/?app=fbl

I designed a floor plan for a house we planned to build a couple of years ago. When the garage and adjoining shop reached almost 4000 square feet, I decided we probably didn't need to build an 8000 square foot house at our age. It would have been nice though.

Plumbing upgrades with SharkBite fittings
ScubaRx replied to Nick R.'s topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
To do it absolutely correctly, one would need to replace most of the Pex tubing, especially any that are under 2 feet long. Cutting out a fitting will subtract about 3/4 inch of pipe length with each cut. The plumbing lines installed in the new Oliver's today are cut to the exact the lengths they need to be to accomplish their job, part of which is to have no stress put on the fittings at either end by being too short. The only fitting I've ever had fail (Two different Oliver Trailers, well over 150K miles total) was one where the line was hanging free vertically (near the pump), too short, had no support at either end, and had been pieced in the middle with a straight coupler (very bad practice). Vibration from the earthquake being towed through a hurricane finally made it fail. When the pump was active it was pumping water directly into the basement. My point is you should not have to pull two lines closer to each other (introducing stress) to merely replace a fitting that was working just fine because you perceive it as inferior. You may inadvertently introduce a problem you didn't previously have. I do agree that if a plastic fitting does fail, replace it with a brass one. Just as a cost comparison, at Home Depot: A Pro pack that includes five 1/2 in. Plastic PEX-B Barb Tee fittings will cost you $1.68 for each fitting. A 1/2 in. lead free dezincification resistant (DZR) brass Pex Tee will run you $3.65. A Shark-bite brand 1/2 in. Push-to-Connect Brass Tee Fitting is priced at $13.27. -

I added this info to your Signature. It's under where you Edit your profile. Feel free to change it to whatever you desire. -
The area called Dome Rock is about 4 miles due West of Quartzsite. It is a mile or so South of I-10 (you can see it in the distance.) This is where we'll all be camped. You're actually closer to Quartzsite coming from Oregon than we are coming from Mississippi. You should plan on coming down. We usually go over to Death Valley NP and/or Joshua Tree for a few days. It's actually pretty pleasant (temperature wise) that time of the year.

I will be in a group of three Oliver's arriving together in late January or early February. We will all be at the Dome Rock area.

I never thought this was an intentional hijack, but it turned in to one never the less. As you stated, "...B&N is working on what is likely to be an electrical problem between the furnace and thermostat where as DG has introduced an issue that is appears more similar to a typical short cycle condition..." They each needed to have their own thread.
