Here’s another Lisle product that I am using now to pack bearings. You fill it with your grease gun through the zerk on the stem. A lot less waste than packing in your hand using grease out of a tub. https://www.lislecorp.com/specialty-tools/handy-packer-bearing-packer IMG_2453.mov IMG_2454.mov

I’ve used Mystik JT-6 since the trailer was new. I use it to pack the wheel bearings also. It’s what they were using at the factory when we picked up hull 313 in March 2018. I think you can get it at TSC. Use a good grease and use it often.

Look under street side bunk on the battery box end. Thanks @mossemi

@Boudicca908Pry off the 4 plastic caps, remove the screws, cut the caulk around the insert using a plastic razor blade. If you intend to remove the insert be sure you have everything on hand to replace it. Keep in mind that the caulk will need to cure for a certain time before it can be wetted. I have taped a piece of plastic over the hole in order to use the shower before I replaced the insert.

There has been at least one owner (edit: more than a few owners) who forgot and left their black tank flush running. The water filled the black tank and then flowed over and filled the grey tank through the venting under the bathroom sink. The water then came back up through the shower drain, filled the shower pan, then flooded the cabin. If this has happened to a trailer I don’t see how you would ever completely eliminate the smell. I would ask the previous owner if this happened to your trailer. Read this thread https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/3447-left-black-tank-clean-out-hose-on/

Battery gas? Have you looked for leaks in the battery compartment?

@jd1923 What is the stuff attached to the Simpson Strong Tie? Have you replaced the quarter turn valves with solenoids?

Summary: make sure your accumulator is not rubbing against the bottom of the curb side bunk. Check the cutouts above the rear jacks. Check the duct under the curb side bunk. I noticed black dust on the board that the water pump and accumulator are mounted to. Turns out that the pump, piping, accumulator, valve, etc. assembly doesn’t really fit together well but it is screwed to the board anyway. The misalignment between the pump and accumulator caused the rubber bushing in the mount on one side of the accumulator to become dislocated and the accumulator rubbed against the bottom surface of the curb side bunk. I caught it before it wore through. I also noticed that both cutouts to access the studs to manually operate the rear jacks don't line up with the studs and would have made it hard to manually operate the jacks. I’ll enlarge these later. Also the 2 bolts on the rear curb side jack could rub through the heater duct.

If you stay at the campground in Grand Marais drive to the end of the Gunflint Trail and back.

I received an MSDS from Truma. For those who are interested, see Paragraph 13 on page 7 of the English language version. I think I’ll dump it in my gravel driveway rather than put it in my septic system. truma-watersystems-aquago-decalcification-tablets.pdf

I’m hooked up to my brand new home septic system and it’s time to decalcify my Truma AquaGo. I can’t find anything about the rinsate being septic system safe. Does anyone know what the tablets are made of and what the rinsate might do to a septic system?

I buy the Midwest fuel cans at TSC, throw away the spouts, and then put an EZ Pour spout and vent cap on the can. Use a step bit to drill the hole for the vent. The can seals up so tight it’ll swell up like a dead armadillo and still not pop the vent. https://ezpourspout.com/?gad_source=1&gclid=EAIaIQobChMIm__Rk-6hhgMVlyvUAR3AMgX9EAAYASAAEgKmU_D_BwE

@jd1923 my guess is the hose clamp on the through hull fitting is loose or the fitting itself is cracked and water from the fresh tank sloshing has run down and out the hull drain. Hull 313 only has one hull drain in that area , plus the fridge drain and the overflow drain. I would remove the drawers and the panel at the back of the drawer cavity and make sure the sink trap fitting is tight and that you don’t have a leak from the faucet. Then stick your phone camera in behind the fridge and make a video.

Do you have water in your fresh tank? The reason I ask is on our OEII the fresh water overflow tube clamp was loose on the tank fitting and we had water dripping from those holes. The water under the fridge drain is normal. Picture through hole in bottom of kitchen cabinet. Hole was installed by factory service department so they could tighten the clamps.

Update: The chirping started again after about 2 days. I ran the fan on the highest setting for several hours and now the fan is quiet again.
