  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. 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
  4. Noise from the inverter or converter? If converter read this thread: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/noise-from-progressive-dynamics-converter/#post-136225
  5. 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
  6. 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
  7. 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
  8. 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)
  9. I am unable to delete notifications. Is anyone else unable to delete notifications? Bill
  10. 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
  11. 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
  12. 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
  13. 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.
  14. 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
  15. 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
  16. Do you have an LE or LEII and what year is it? Bill
  17. Just to be clear is this the breaker under the street side bunk that trips when you unplug from shore power?
  18. 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.
  19. What you said plus: large and small Channellocks and Cresent wrenches, torque wrench, electric impact gun with deep impact sockets for truck and trailer wheel nuts, wire stripper/terminal clamp, Fluke non contact thermometer, Fluke AC voltage detector, dead blow hammer for hitch, ratcheting pipe cutter, 1/2 inch hex key, Teflon tape, snap ring pliers and extra cone for Andersen hitch, hand cleaner wipes, blue shop paper towels, cable ties, extra tire air pressure gauge, 3/8 inch drive ratchet extension, lots of small spare stuff. Going to add a close quarters PEX ring crimp tool: http://pexcrimper.com/index.html Reason for 1/2 inch hex key: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/check-your-hose-attachment-fittings/#post-134357 Reason for 3/8 inch drive extension: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/jack-crank-extension/#post-127187 I put this coupler on my grease guns: Bill
  20. Would someone with a new trailer with new porch lights (or porch lights without gaskets) please post a picture? Bill
  21. 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
  22. I got a text from Darrell. He has heat now. He doesn’t have access to the forum where he is.
  23. 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
  24. Darrell, Remove the furnace outside cover. Have your wife start the furnace inside while you watch the LED on the control board. Count the number of flashes between the 3 second pauses. Look on the table below to determine the fault. If it’s the “Limit Switch/Airflow Problem” fault, CAREFULLY pull the sail switch out until you see the small bright metal sail. Use a pencil and GENTLY work that sail in and out and listen for the switch to click. Replace the sail switch and try to relight the furnace. Watch the LED again. Report back on what happens. Bill
  25. Darrell, sent you a PM. Bill
