  1. I tried to tell you that 2 inch hole saw was going to be too big.
  2. We have not considered joining since the majority of the HH's seem to be centered around alcohol. I've wondered the same things.
  3. I will paraphrase a statement from an old pilot friend of mine. "The only time you have too much fuel (battery power) is if everything is on fire." I just replaced the four original AGM's that were delivered in our 2014 trailer with three Battle Borns. They're only a total of 300 aH. Get the most you can afford. You'll probably end up boondocking more that you think.
  4. OK, you win.
  5. Desert rodents will chew the insulation off your under-hood wiring at night. Some brands of vehicle are more attractive than others.
  6. I have this information thru 2016.
  7. You guys were asking these questions and were not getting any answers. I took it upon myself to call Rodney Lomax, the sales and service manager. I asked your questions and these were the answers he gave me. Sorry, I was trying to help.
  8. That's not the reason they are not publishing wiring diagrams. It's mainly that they are in a relatively constant state of flux. They change, quite often. One printed and included in the delivery information kit may well be out of date by the time you get it. A current one is available for the asking. As far as photos taken within the factory, I don't think there's any problems. I've taken literally thousands over the past 14 years.
  9. I would suspect...dismal.

    VIN

    All the letter and number punches I own (or have ever seen, for that matter) are square. I can't see this tool as being very useful for holding a square punch and getting every letter/number lined up properly. Unless you're willing to hold them at a 45 degree angle to the plane of the surface.
  11. That may have been a typo or auto-correct at work, but I think it is a more accurate statement. Very good... I really think that the link was never tightened properly OR taken loose and then never re-tightened properly.
  12. Susan you can download the firmware update directly from Xantrex here.
  13. Conservatively, fifty or sixty per dark period. I would find it hard to use a hundred. I'm assuming you mean while boondocking, otherwise it would not matter.
  14. Will there be 27 of them...with a paragraph on the back of each one explaining...?
  15. I bought one of these many years ago when I was installing an inverter and updating the Outlaw Oliver to 4/0 battery cables. It will make a hexagon shaped crimp that really looks good. Out of curiosity, I once cut thru a connector and examined the crosscut strands inside under high magnification. Each strand had been compressed into a hexagon shape and fused together. Here is a really good video showing exactly how it should be done although he calls it a "flaring" tool!
  16. Usually, this is the result of water in the umbilical connector. I causes a short and the tail lights (or other body lights) will come on while not hooked to the truck. It is back feeding from the trailer batteries.
  17. Spray the slot with WD-40, work the step in and out a few times and you will be amazed how smoothly it works. Aluminum has a tendency to "stick" to itself when it is dry.
  18. A "relatively" simple solution would be to drain the bathroom sink water into the black tank. You could achieve this with gravity only. Pull the black tank valve to dump at any time. I would save 15 gallons of space in the gray tank.
  19. Sheri, so, did you ditch the Andersen WD hitch? What hitch are you now using? As we discussed on the phone, your Threaded Quick Link deformed and stretched because it was not properly screwed together. That link is easily replaced if you want to begin using the Andersen again. Checking these links to make sure they're tight before travel is necessary (but, since your truck likely needs no weight distribution, as Overland stated, it was not a dangerous situation). There is no reason to ever loosen them as this would not serve for any adjustment. As some have suggested, if I had an Andersen set-up (I don't) I would put a drop of Loctite on the threads and tighten them down well.
  20. I actually put them on a utility trailer that previously had none.
  21. Apparently the OP (John M) has left the building or has lost interest in this thread.
  22. The Bright Way Group batteries are manufactured by Trojan.
  23. My father used to raise Chukar's.
  24. This is our first Oliver, Hull #026. There was a heck of a lot of clearance on it. I was never carried away with the look. Our current Oliver, Hull #050 has 1-5/8" clearance from the top of the U-Bolts to the frame.
