Exterior cleaning - Wax recommendations
ScubaRx replied to BackofBeyond's topic in General Discussion
Thanks for this info. I was contemplating buying a bottle. -
Not clear on all the negativity on a product that has not yet on the market or even been viewed, but I’m pretty sure nobody will be required to buy it.

We do something similar. We do our showering inside and just leave the gray valve open. Like your system, the shower water still ends up in the bushes.

We’ve never regretted buying the larger generator. I’m all about overkill and it never fails to supply what power we need. Yeah, it’s heavy, but I have an overhead hoist to remove and replace all the stuff I can’t, or don’t choose, to manage alone (generator, tool box in truck and propane tanks.

The graphics will peel cleanly off with the use of a heat gun or hair dryer.

I could 'splain that to you but it would only make the story longer...

Our Yamaha EF3000iSEB's footprint is 26.8" x 17.5" and it fits quite nicely in the box with the angled corners. It actually has about an inch clearance on either end and the back with about three inches in front.

The frame fits up inside longitudinal channels that are molded into the underside of the body. The only thing between the body and the frame is a layer of 3/16"-1/4" rubber glued to the top of the frame. The body is then bolted solidly to the frame. If the frame moves the body moves with it and vice versa. The movement of the body (and the frame with it) relative to the tires that you see is because of the springs. If you support the frame in four places the perceived movement will be far less.

The old style with the dual receivers.

Changing Bulldog Coupler and Ball Size to 2-5/16"

I just measured the placement of the holes from the 2” hitch and laid out the holes on the 2-5/16” hitch to match. -
Inverter GFCI pops for no apparent reason
ScubaRx replied to geokeg's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
That sounds like an internal neutral/ground fault. When the neutral and ground come together in our trailers it will blow a GFI Outlet. -

Spike, I drilled them in a drill press. If you don’t own one, they could be drilled with a large hand held. If I remember correctly, the holes were 5/8” or so. Most folks that don’t have a drill press won’t have bits that large so you may have to get some help. -
Exciting, are either/both of you coming to the rally? It will be the perfect learning experience for a new owner. The plan is to partner new owners with experienced owners as mentors. Good luck to your both.

That sounds suspiciously like what happens to a camera bag with multiple Nikon bodies and lenses left sitting on the driveway as you are about to leave for a big trip. [attachment file=Steve-000 - Img_1483.jpg]

Our trailer (hull # 050) does not have an interior valve in the black flush line. It does have a one-way check valve and that is all you need to prevent black water from running back into the flush hose. And, never having to raise the cushion to manually operate the on-off valve. If one wanted to keep the original concept in place, I would remove the manual valve and replace it with an electric valve with a switch mounted in a convenient location. I did this with the winterizing valves at my pump so as to not have to jump through hoops in order to get to them when we wanted to pump water into our fresh tank while boondocking. Set up my water cans, flip the switch for the valves, turn on the water pump and voilà, refilling the tank.

I did this a couple of years ago when I bought the 3/4 ton diesel. It has a 2-1/2” receiver so I thought “why not?” The hitch I’m using now is rated at 20,000 pounds. That ought to handle my overweight Oliver nicely. -
Been to the factory, have you...
-
I discovered that too when I "winterized" last fall. Mine has two pipes going through the floor.
-
You should not have to add any weight up front. That amount of rear weight probably won't make over 60 pounds difference on the tongue.
-
When I had our Oliver built I instructed the guys to put in a second drain for the hot water system. Mike, being as yours is one of the early trailers that is most likely what the second drain is for. They quit putting the second drain in soon afterwards.
-
Anyone that attends the rally will be getting one of the plaques. I saw them a couple of months ago. They are NICE.

Interesting, I looked for something like that 5 years ago to keep the back bumper on the OOII from dragging on extreeeeeme breakover angle inclines. Finally designed my own.
