CAT scale is a company that has Certified Automated Truck scales located throughout the US. Many RVers use these scales to weigh if they don’t have access to another private or public scales. https://catscale.com/ https://www.thefitrv.com/rv-tips/the-easy-way-to-weigh-your-rv/

RTV means RTV silicone sealant https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/RTV_silicone There are several types depending on the application. https://www.permatex.com/products/gasketing/gasket-makers/permatex-high-temp-red-rtv-silicone-gasket/

“Inch WC” is one way of representing “inches of water column” which is a unit of pressure. Most, if not all, of our propane appliances operate on low gas pressure such as 11 inch WC, which is equal to about 0.4 psi. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inch_of_water

AGM means Absorbed Glass Mat as in AGM batteries. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/VRLA_battery

Hz stands for Hertz, as in 120 volt, 60 Hz AC power. Your Progressive Industries remote display will show “60H”. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Utility_frequency

Another one seen on fiberglass trailer forums: MFG meaning Molded FiberGlass, as in an MFG camper.

SOB means Some Other Brand when referring to travel trailers other than Olivers.

Gregg Scott: What model Cargo Glide are you using?

Who is using truck bed slide out trays/racks? What product are you using and what vehicle are you using it in? Please post pictures. Especially ScubaRx: tell me about your rig please.

Regarding torque wrenches, I have always been reminded to return a torque wrench to zero for storage. See item 9 in the following attachment. https://www1.snapon.com/display/231/ToolNews/TechRefs/2008/TorqueWrench08.pdf

After pulling our trailer for maybe a couple thousand miles I found a little play in the bearings so I tightened the nut holding the hub on per Dexter’s instructions. See bottom of page 56 in the Dexter Axle Manual in the Oliver University. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/wp-content/uploads/oliver-university/Component_Manuals/Dexter_Axle/DEXTER-AXLE-MANUAL.pdf

My trailer is sitting dead level on a concrete shop floor and the distance from inside the top of the coupler to the floor is 21.25 +/- 0.1 inches. I have hull 313.

Those tanks are long in length, narrow in width and short in height and the sensors are at the rear ends. You can be easily fooled by the readings. You will become accustomed to what you are putting in them and how often you need to dump and the display will mean nothing. Have fun. If grey water is not coming up through the shower drain you are good. Just be sure to close the valve beside the head before you move.

Is your trailer level when you are seeing the 100% reading or is the front elevated? The grey tank level sensor is located where the yellow mark is in the following picture. It is near the rear. Even if you only have a little water in your grey tank and the front is elevated the sensor could be seeing 100%.

Coy, Does it look like Section D will be reopened by May 15?

One of ours was out of place when we picked our trailer up. I saw it and asked them to fix it before we left. It took two fellows to do it. I don’t know how they got it back in place, but they did and used a bead of caulk to secure it. Since you only see one screw it must be one of the strips behind the front axle. The screw you see is probably on the curb side and is actually securing the gas line. Are your tanks empty? If not, try emptying them and see if that helps. You might try pulling on the strip (should make it smaller in cross section) while stuffing it in from the side. Stick your finger in between the cross member and bottom hull and see if you can feel adhesive residue. If no trace of adhesive, you might try a little soapy water as a lubricant.

Last fall we parked in a really steep campsite with the tongue high off the ground. I had purchased a pair of Camco screw type stabilizer jacks on the way to this campsite. I rigged them as shown in the photos. I only snugged them up against the frame so as to stabilize the camper, not to take weight off of the front jack. With these stabilizers in place and the rear jacks extended the trailer was very stable for the 4 days we were at that campsite. I will continue to use these as shown, probably not for “one night stands” but for extended stays in one campsite. I would not use these as jack stands, only stabilizers. They are very light but work well in this application.

Bauhausluv, I will make you a pair and PM you when it is ready. It will be a while as I have other projects in-process right now. Thanks, Bill

Ours stays open when parked and it isn’t raining. I also communicate with my wife through the bathroom window when I am dumping the black tank. When the tank is empty I close the dump valve and have her add more water to the tank and then dump again.

Russell, I have found a few places like you describe, one or 2 on top, each smaller than a dinner plate and a few small places in the curved areas down low next to the frame. Bill

Noise from the inverter or converter? If converter read this thread: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/noise-from-progressive-dynamics-converter/#post-136225

Steve, Tried to PM you but my PMer still isn’t working. A friend of mine in Kingsport TN is interested in a fiberglass camper and would like to see different brands. Could he come down and see some campers and if so, what day would be best? Bill

Very nice pictures. Thanks for posting them. Those sites back up to a low stone wall that runs beside Shoal Creek in CG1. The Other Other Bill

We just spent 4 nights in Campground 1 at David Crockett State Park in Lawrenceburg, TN. Campground 1 is older, but Campground 2 has just been redone and it is real nice. We couldn’t get a site in CG 2 but we did drive through and look at it. No sewer hookups, but the sites were so level it wouldn’t be a big deal to just pull to the dump station and then go back to your site if you didn’t want to use a tote. https://tnstateparks.com/parks/campground/david-crockett Thirty-two miles (about 45 minutes) from Hohenwald and much nicer than (the local CG) in Hohenwald. Good BBQ place in Lawrenceburg: https://ricksbbq.com/ More good BBQ and a great meat market near Summertown TN: https://g.co/kgs/3V9hEZ Bill
