About five years ago while driving down A1A on east coast FL barrier island we saw a couple of Olivers in the driveway of a small beachside house. Stopped to say hi. Jim Oliver answered the door. Great visit and spectacular memory we now have of that encounter.

We use West Marine Dri-Dek cut to fit floor. It is low and easy to lift to spray out underneath when needed. Has saved my bald head.

Each time I grease our EZ Flex, at least one zerk makes me use the stabilizer jack to take pressure off that side

My Pre-Flight checklist is a habit BUT I always run down the paper Pre-Flight as a habit also. Because I always remember the story my RV park neighbor told me when he saw me using the Pre-Flight. He wished he had used one the day he pulled his multi-million dollar motor home out of his driveway and left his power cord and power cord reel in the driveway and modified the side of the RV.

I cleaned our window tracks today. Only the back window had a flexible rubber guide like in the video. The side windows were a harder rubber that I chose not to pull up.

This thread has some info

A link to upgrading hitch receiver to 2 inch

I have greased ours quite a few times now and it seems there is always at least one that will not take grease initially. I just use the Oliver jack to take a little pressure off the offending side but never have had to take the wheels off the ground.

We upgraded to the Garmin 890 before our Dec trip to FL from OK. We really liked it and enjoyed the additional features and bigger screen size. It also has a great magnetic holder/charger that makes it easy for the navigator to remove and search for and input new destinations while traveling. BUT - we were upgrading from a Garmin Nuvi 1450 that we had been using since 2009 so just about any "modern" GPS would impress us.😂 We do use our Iphone Google maps sometimes but find GPS usage faster and more accurate at times. Except in 2010 we let the old Garmin take us, on two different occasions, to a small airport in the Orlando area - instead of to Disney World. At least we had plenty of turn around space.

I had an issue the first time I winterized because one of the clamps on the pex line from boon docking port, at the ball valve, was not tight.

Thought I would share my solution to the bike rack receiver saga. We use the 1-Up for two bikes. I used a Curt bumper receiver with a sheet of rubber to isolate the iron from aluminum, with neoprene washers under stainless nuts on bottom. The hole patterns seemed far enough away from Oliver holes to not weaken the beam too much. I considered adding a 13 inch long aluminum plate on bottom as a giant strengthening washer but decided that might be over engineering (as I have accused of by my wife frequently). The wide receiver plate also adds strengthening across the Oliver holes. Initially I was going to cut off the upright tabs but the paint job on the receiver is too good to destroy.

I am going to guess the Dexter wet bolt has one hole. I have had several occasions that a zerk would not take grease. The issue was easily resolved by raising the offending side of trailer a little with stabilizer jack.

The author "are" probably referring to a pond of water aka, in some rural areas, as a tank

I replaced my gear. Be sure to look at the link in John’s first post that takes you to the RV upgrade store - before you disassemble. I over disassembled looking for the problem without properly researching and made the job twice as hard. It actually is pretty easy besides having to get on the roof.

We have the same setup and it has worked well for us. But haven't tried it out at high elevation. But a/c probably not needed in the mountains.
