Elimination of the power and data charge points from the nightstand IMHO was a very sad bean counter decision.
We have a 120v duplex outlet, a cigarette lighter outlet and a USB port on both sides of our nightstand. I have kicked and broken a couple of USB connectors while sleeping, so we only use the ones on Krunch’s side. As some of you know, she’s short enough that her feet can’t reach them while sleeping.😉

You must have much better manual dexterity and body flexibility than I do! I can't get a grease gun, even with a Lock N Lube fitting on the end of a flexible hose, on to the two zerks inside the central bracket that holds the EZ flex assembly, without removing my wheels.
All of my zerks are oriented to the inside of the frame. So I use a creeper and the only trouble spot for me is getting my belly under the axles.🤔

This is a picture of the Dometic A/C drain kit instructions. The 14" square gasket in your picture of the drain kit is used in addition to the existing 14" gasket around the hull penetration with a notch cut into the original to allow passage of the drain tube from the cups to the internal drain tube. The 2 straight gaskets are stacked at the rear of the base plate to level to unit.

Thanks Jason! We have traveled through Oregon but never camped there. I’ll have to keep the article handy for planning future camping adventures.

the trailer has a trickle charge type circuit that will shut off when the batteries are fully charged and the batters will not become over charged.
Is the trickle charger an external unit that connects directly to the batteries? Have you verified that the trickle charger does in fact shut off when the batteries reach a fully charged condition? A lot of the trickle chargers simply reduce their output when the battery is fully charged. Will you turn off the Oliver 12v charging function?

I understand that it can shrink over time.
The only shrinkage I have noticed with the Pelland Enterprises replacement seal is in the length. So when you are cutting a replacement, try not to stretch the seal and cut it long. If it is too long to install then you will have some left to trim.

You best bet would to be look at the label on the bottom side of the original panels. The label should look like the picture below, but have different values. Search online for a PWM solar charge controller calculator if you are going to use the stock Zamp controller. Or multiply the Short Circuit Current / Isc value by 1.25 to find the max amperage value you need to account for.

The Honda’s require a neutral/ground bonding plug that is inserted into the generator outlet that is not supplying power to the trailer. Search YouTube for Mike Sokol. He has some valuable information.

Are you using a generator bonding plug in your generator?

Go see the old Fort, it’s a National Park monument and interesting to walk around. In Fort Davis there are some small shops and the old drug store is a must-see. Nearby is McDonald Observatory.
👍👍👍👍👍

Carrie and I are not good at such upkeep, even though we have intentions to do so.
Thank you for displaying the courage to admit your limitations and taking a proactive approach!

This backup assist feature also provides protection to prevent jackknifing by providing a “red zone” on our truck screen and it screams at you, if you dare get too close to jackknifing ….
I certainly don’t like being screamed at, but the backup assist seems like a useful feature.

Mobilejoy: It was your post about not finding an actual amber LED replacement light and having to do a covering film that prompted me to ask if anyone has found an amber light we could use instead.
My apologies for confusing courtesy and porch lights!

Is there any chance that the existing Dometic drain system could be used or modified to work with the Houghton's? That would be really grand!up
GJ
I do not have any knowledge of the Houghton installation procedure, so I think that question should be directed to the Houghton owners that have completed their own installation. You would have a better chance of receiving answers from that group.

We just got power back after a 48 hours outage due to Ian. We’ve been gone a month and I have some catching up to do. Details to follow.

My 2008 Honda EU2000i runs my Dometic AC unit equipped with a MicroAir EasyStart. Does your generator have an ECO mode?
My Honda will not run the AC in ECO mode. Do you have the ability to test the amp draw of your genset when connected and starting the AC?

I have been running my stock Michelin LT tires at about 50 lbs. I will add that at 60-65 mph my pressure does increase 3-5 lbs. after 10 minutes of drive time. The thing I would like to mention, especially for new TPMS users is the effect of sunshine on tire temperatures. For example, yesterday while driving north out of Florida, the curbside tires were running about 4 degrees warmer than the street side. And of course that changes in the afternoon when the sun shines on the street side.

I’ve always been unclear as to what is so objectionable about a wet bath.
Then I guess you would also like a wet pool!😉

In the supplied bag, yep! The 450P, hose, power cord, and nozzle/gauge fit nicely in a Cabela’s plastic ammo can. Still occupies the same volume, but easier to stack. A tip I found a few years ago on the Toyota 4Runner forum.
Is this the ammo can you are referring to?

No they did not. And Progressive Industries just got back with me and informed me they did not make the product, Progressive Dynamics did. Now what to do?

Jason, Thank you for the update and clarification! It is always good to hear explanations concerning changes to Oliver Travel Trailer production from the service department.
