  1. I didn’t think I needed this since already having the remote and other app control but I believe I am going to try it. Being able to more clearly refine the control is what we all want. Thx for sharing the product and evaluation. … now, where to place it? USB power makes things interesting.
  2. For me, the Pebble Flow made in the USA is the most interesting and beautiful smart EV friendly TT. It has a ton of cool’s features and would be an awesome addition for an EV setup. My favorite features are the beautiful aerodynamic looks combined with all the new technology like smart glass, app controlled parking, magic hitch as well awesome design elements like room flip, huge fold out windows. Also great are Solar and EV importance shown in design like flat roof, integrated solar panels, power assist while driving with brake regeneration. A lot more of very innovative, forward thinking design implementations like off roof silent AC, No TV mounts, etc. Great use of space with room flip and dry bath. Kitchen with open window is amazing, ability to use water from kitchen outside and use of 2 burner induction stove outside as well. Great stuff for the person that loves the outdoors. Integrated rear hitch. Lots more! Video is worth a watch! And No I am not selling my beloved Oliver. Just appreciate innovation Best, M
  3. The red wire from the 4 pin connector, I believe. I am not an expert on this, always have to call myself. Where did you buy the new Seelevel panel? Vanlifeoutfitters was very helpful for me. I had actually got one of the 4 pin connectors loose stuffing it in the hole and finally after taking out and putting it back a couple of times got it back working. Also, the settings for the Ekrano were different than what is needed for the Carbo. Again, I would call Vanlife if that is where you bought the panel, very knowledgeable and helpful folks.
  4. I believe the bundle is 6008 but what they told me to do was if you want the ability to control inside and outside order the double S3VT kit with interior and exterior panels. Ext is waterproof. Then order a single kit with just an interior switch for the grey cutoff plus the added reducer they sell. Hope that helps. Give me a min and I will upload the parts list on my invoice. Here it is: I added a few extra things that I wanted to try. M
  5. Just talked with both Sharyl’s at Drainmaster.com, very helpful and knowledgeable. Sent them some pics/links and they think all 3 valves will fit. So I just ordered the bundle plus a 1-1/2 in reducer for the grey cutoff and a main cutoff switch. I won’t be back in town for a few weeks but sure look forward to the installation. Best, Mike
  6. That’s awesome. I don’t know how I miss these things! Happy to know it will work easily. Now if the electronic valves work, it will be even better. Thx!
  7. You seem to understand why I am so interested in this setup. It is on back order, so I believe it will be 2-3 weeks before it ships. But I will report back when I get it installed. I hope that the cam lock handles clear okay and that I don’t have to change the pipe length at all.
  8. Yes, you have to order new panel from SeeLevel that will connect to Victron system. Easy to switch out. The chart below may be helpful.
  9. They make an adapter to fit 1 1/2 in pipe. Thanks for original link.
  10. Seriously looking into upgrading the cable pull valves to electronic. Despite regular maintenance the black handle pull has always been terrible. I have already ordered the cam lock waste connector and 20ft sewer hose that collapses to 6ft in length. They also sell an adapter if you need or want to use the old system. Love the built in features like 4:1 compression, see through terminal end with cutoff. https://drainmaster.com/rv/product/waste-master-20-sewer-hose-system https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCFtTb2fHr9X3xyOsqr6QIZw I think from the above information and more research the drain master electronic valves could work on all three valves. But still investigating. If so, it would be a huge upgrade IMO. As my seven year old says emphatically. Mike
  11. Great job MIke! One of my favorite up-grades. Much more efficient unit boon-docking and works without worry. I like the fact that if I have to do anything, it is turning the setting down to keep things from freezing. Again, the vents look awesome. BTW, I did have the door come open on our last weekend trip. If you have the door loaded up make sure to use the locking clasp. Best, M It was good to see you at the rally.
  12. CGI guys are awesome! Kids always enjoy seeing their chickens and the eggs were tasty they gave us well. Great crew. The glidecoat protection and provided ease of keeping the Oliver shiny and clean is invaluable for me. So much, I had them do my Tundra and Jeep as well.
  13. The new technology of the 2025 Ramcharger could be a game changer… ChatGPT: Does the 2025 Ramcharger need to recharge when the battery and gas has been depleted? Answer: “ No, the 2025 Ram 1500 Ramcharger does not require a public charger when both the battery and gas run out. It's designed as a plug-in hybrid with a 3.6-liter V6 engine acting as a generator to recharge the battery. This allows it to operate on electricity for a significant range and then transition to gas-powered operation when the battery runs low. Here's a more detailed explanation: Plug-in Hybrid System: The Ramcharger is a plug-in hybrid, meaning it has a large EV battery pack and a gas engine that acts as a generator. Generator Function: When the battery depletes, the gas engine starts a generator that produces electricity to recharge the battery, effectively eliminating the need for public charging stations. Electric Range: The truck has an estimated 145 miles of pure electric range. Combined Range: With a full battery and gas tank, the Ramcharger targets a combined range of up to 690 miles. Charging Options: While it can be plugged in to a DC fast-charger or use its onboard generator, it doesn't require frequent or long public charging sessions. “ The short answer is it is a powerful new technology that has quite the range even while towing. It is not reduced by 50% like the Tesla Cybertruck, etc. SO don’t count out EV trucks as tow vehicles. It only needs a refill of petrol just like any other gas or diesel truck but it is to power the generator to charge the batteries not the drivetrain. From the RAM-TRX forum: The Ramcharger combines a 92 kilowatt-hour battery pack with an onboard 130 kilowatt generator powered by a 3.6-liter Pentastar V6, according to the company. The upshot is a targeted 690 miles of range in a truck that promises 663 horsepower and 615 pound-feet of torque while it manages a 0-60 mph time of 4.4 seconds and towing of up 14,000 pounds. This is the way to go with an EV. All the benefits of the electric motor torque, power and daily convenience without the disadvantages of range limits and charging headaches on long trips.
  14. I replaced the Dometic 3 -way with the Canadian made Nova Kool R5810 with the tried and true danfoss compressor and it has been a terrific upgrade. So much so, I seldom check the temperature any more. One less headache. Good luck. There is some great information on installation from other forum members. Although, I would try to dive deeper into why the fridge is not cooling as others above have stated. I don’t think it would be that much to have someone do some basic electrical diagnostics.
