Just to stay on topic, a quick PM should do the trick.

Overnighting directly across from:

And just think, not an ounce of liability was incurred. That's what helping family (be it personal or extended) is all about. Never turn your back on a person in need, for it may well be you sometime down some lonely forest road...

Hope is not a strategy.

If your trailer is equipped with both receptacles, then there should be a transfer switch wired between them to prevent the scenario you’ve described.

If you want to calibrate your own torque wrench, check out. I ordered the little scale from Amazon for less than $9.00 dollars. All I've got is a cheap one from Harbor Freight and I'll be curious to see how accurate it is.

If you plan to switch to the 5200lb axles and install disc brakes, make sure to order them WITHOUT electric brakes. This will save you $$$. I just replaced one of mine and it ran a little over $450. A year or so ago I posted about my switch to from electric drums to electric over hydraulic discs complete with a shopping list of all parts needed with prices. If you are handy, you can do this yourself. Are you going to be at the rally?

That shower head sounds nice. I might come over to your trailer some morning during the rally and try it out!

Molded FG Trailer’s interior walls fall basically into four categories. Cheap looking wood or cheaper looking faux wood (cardboard) paneling. Carpet or faux carpet (aka “rat fur”) Bare inside of the fiberglass shell. Smooth gel-coat fiberglass. What’s in your trailer...

Nice perk... ???????☕️

That’s just a easy way to remove an attachment that you don’t want after posting.

Hobo, don’t get too caught up in the readings. As had been pointed out, if the front of the Oliver is somewhat higher than the rear the sensor will think that there is more water in the gray tank than there actually is. A simple test that can be done right now is to simply see if you are able to put water into the tank from either of the two outputs (kitchen sink or shower/bathroom sink. Yes=tank not full. No=Water will back up meaning tank is full and you can plan to dump tomorrow morning. Otherwise, relax and have fun. On an additional note, if you wash dishes in the sink and allow food particles to go down the drain and end up in your gray tank it will result in the gray water smelling really bad. We wipe everything off prior to washing or usually just wash outside in a dishpan.

David, Tali and I are looking forward to seeing you guys again later this summer. We will begin our meandering trip north later this month. Will follow up with you soon.

Check the positions of the four valves near the water pump.

Plans? We ain’t got no stinkin’ plans! ???? We do have a lot of info. Let’s get together at the rally.

That is our plan. When we travel, we go to as many National Park units as possible so we tend to meander. This will be our first Alaskan foray. How long do you guys plan to be gone?

Those plugs tend to get moisture inside when it rains. Try to store it somewhere it can stay relatively dry. What happens is the moisture will short the positive (connected to the batteries) to the wire going to the clearance lights and make them come on. I wouldn’t seal it up too tightly. If moisture does get in it will just make it harder to remove.

Good choice, I promise you won’t go wrong there. More torque, better fuel mileage and generally larger fuel capacity.

I don't considerate it fall until mid October.

For that matter, I do the gray water the same way.

That is Correct...

We need hardly any excuse at all to travel and would probably attend. I would suggest that since the Eastern Rally is in the Spring/Early Summer (May in Alabama) the Western Rally be held in the Fall. That would give everyone that would like to attend both the optimum opportunity.

If you're coming in from a trip with water in the fresh tank that you plan to dump when you get there, open the drain valve for the fresh water tank about thirty miles from home. It will be empty when you get there. Try to remember to close it if you don't a mess when you start to fill it next time.

CedarForks, Very nice work. All trailers will have a check valve in the black flush line and some have a ball valve as well. Additionally, all of the early models used two 3-way valves in place of the four on-off ball valves to accomplish the same task. Some also have flush valves in the hot water line. Thanks for your effort

This is exactly what the system is designed to do. The air conditioner is not coming on, it’s the heat strips (and a/c fan) that are coming on to aid the furnace in rapidly bringing the temperature up to the thermostat set point. Auto fan setting bypasses this function.
