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.

Ok. Quit posting to this thread. I can’t delete all of the notifications. I’m being notified to death. Death by Notification. I hope notifications aren’t taxed. (not Martha)

I am unable to delete notifications. Is anyone else unable to delete notifications? Bill

Here is his FS post http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/2017-oliver-legacy-elite-2-twin-bed-model-like-new-259-63500/#post-137306 By the way, welcome to the forum. Bill

The sail switch just detects movement of air by the fan. It shouldn’t be related to running out of propane. What code was the flashing LED producing when you opened the door? Bill

I believe if I were you I would locate a knowledgeable and reputable RV repair person and demonstrate to them what is happening and let them troubleshoot the situation and make the repair. Maybe if you gave your general location someone on this forum could recommend a good local RV repair service. Bill

I think that vent located inside the kitchen cabinet is an air admittance valve. It only lets air into the kitchen drain pipe so that the vacuum created by water flowing through the pipe doesn’t suck the water out of the kitchen p-trap. The water in the p-trap is what keeps the odor from the grey tank out of the cabin.

See if the wire from your battery is attached to the BAT lug on the breaker. I think your picture is upside down and it is throwing me a curve. Bill

The jacks are electric not hydraulic and they only operate on 12VDC. Could the tripping of the breaker coincide with the use of the jacks? That breaker is a “thermally responsive Bi-metallic blade” type circuit breaker. It could be that you are performing a sequence of events that heats that breaker up to the point it trips and this could be aggravated by it being a weak breaker. Regarding your front jack: make sure the dimple in the tube on the bottom of the jack is riding in the groove on the extension tube. Bill

Do you have an LE or LEII and what year is it? Bill

Just to be clear is this the breaker under the street side bunk that trips when you unplug from shore power?

We also have a crack in the lower right corner of the trim frame. We have the Contoure RV-950S. Looks like it is a different unit from what topgun2 has so it might mount differently.

Would someone with a new trailer with new porch lights (or porch lights without gaskets) please post a picture? Bill

Darrell, thanks for the feedback. That sail switch is a “prove” switch. It proves that the combustion chamber blower is working before allowing the gas valve to open and the igniter to spark. It is a delicate switch. A strong spiderweb or an insect nest might have kept it from working or going unused for a while might have let it stick open. Once you free it up it should be ok for the season unless it is defective. Bill

I got a text from Darrell. He has heat now. He doesn’t have access to the forum where he is.

Clamp a Vise-Grip on the middle rib of that aluminum extrusion where you want the window to stop. Use needle nose Vise-Grips and slip a short piece of rubber tubing on each jaw. Bill
