We had no power for6 days here in Nashville. Our camping skills came in handy, but there was ice storm damage everywhere around us. We were trapped when one of our 160 year old Red Oaks fell across our drive. Thankfully, My Nephew brought a crew and we sawed a gap to drive thru. The Ollie took a direct hit right on the Maxx Fan (toast), but thankfully the gel coat was unhurt. I have been moving branches and sticks for a month to the street. Things are slowly getting back to "normal".

This may be one way to empty a stubborn black tank: 😝

This may not be the case and Our fridge runs well on all three sources, but I understand that they are more sensitive to being Level (especially) whilst using propane. I "fired" up ours (empty) yesterday and it was showing -8 in the freezer and 33 in the fridge in about 8 hours. This was in my driveway and ambient temp was in the 70s.

I just removed the awning seal on our 2017 LE1 and it had deteriorated to where it was no longer effective. I was able to really clean that area for the first time while I was washing and waxing her. I plan to forgo replacing it and apply an over the window rain gutter. Amen.

Also, I started to check the camp outlets before hooking up every time. Especially after watching the dude in the adjacent sight back his Fiver over the electrical post. I use an inexpensive electrical continuity checker thingie and have been glad I did on several occasions.

I'll have to admit that I have never wished that the "Head Bumper" was not there.

Is it really a CO2 or just a CO detector?

I just visually inspected my 2" Bulldog Hitch and it appears solid. Even though our Ollie is a LE1, It has a 7000 lbs capacity rated coupler and It has the gusset which seems to be adequately welded (visually). I am thankful for this thread to make me do this inspection and I'll be keeping an eye on it and how this issue gets resolved.

I have also just let the solar panels maintain the Lifelines and on the average they show about 13.8-13.6 Volts. Going strong after 6.5 years now.

Are you using a Bonding Neutral plug with your generator? Sometimes referred to as an "Edison Plug"

Sully, your pictures make it look like everyday is sunny there. Thank you for sharing them and have a safe trip. Cheers,

The single most important improvement I have done to our LE1 is the suspension upgrade to Grease Zerk Bolts and sleeves. I also run the (still OEM) tires at 59-60 psig and the interior at campsite arrival is intact.

All good advice here. One thing I can add would be to video tape your walk thru at delivery. I found myself watching it a year or two later and found info I missed. Ask a lot of questions and enjoy the experience. Cheers!

Had some nice weather this last weekend and cleaned out the window tracks of our beloved Oliver. The seals seem to have shrunk more to the point where I am replacing them with the Pellandent H109-376 seals. Thanks to all the previous posters for the info and tips. BTW, I am getting all BLACK seals.

I was patiently waiting for a fellow camper to finish his dumping operation and watched in amazement as he let his slinky slip and disappear into the campground sewer. He shrugged and left. Stuff happens I guess.
