Weather stripping around the windows
mossemi replied to Foy_Mirna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I have to admit that the Magic Eraser is a tool I always forget about. A window installer was using one and when I asked about, he gave it to me after he finished his work. Mossey -

Did you do the bathroom window? Mossey -

Weather stripping around the windows
mossemi replied to Foy_Mirna's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
But unlike a Valentines Day dinner and drinks, I will still use it next week and the next. In fact, mine has been in use for about 11 months. So it works out to about $0.29 a day so far. And my back window came from the factory with black molding that still looks great after nearly 3 years. Which means my $100 investment is just like my 401K, it’s going down every day. At the end of the day, each of us buys something for our Oliver hobby that other Ollie owners might think is a waste of money. Mossey -

JD, As someone that lives in a tropical climate and does not have a hanger to park "the dog house" in, replacing the outside window gasket may be the best $100 I ever spent. Not only does my trailer look better it also saves me time and although I am retired, my time still has value. I would rather do a more interesting mod on the trailer. And remember, we worry about mold and mildew year round in Florida instead of salt on the highway. Mossey -

Non-liquid water treatment for RV tanks?
mossemi replied to John E Davies's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
A word of caution about liquid chlorine from the pool stores. It is usually in the 8 to 10% concentration of chlorine. Where as Clorox is actually sodium hypochlorite with a concentration of 6%. So pool chlorine is stronger, but cheaper. Use it with caution. Mossey -
Non-liquid water treatment for RV tanks?
mossemi replied to John E Davies's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I get my chlorine at the pool store. I have also used Purogene with good results. There is an old post recommending a water treatment company that supported RV's that sold Purogene. Searching turns up several posts. Mossey -
ahattar, I am quick to defend the Oliver company because of my experience with them has been extremely positive. Yep, I had a leak from the curb side window and I had one of my lead acid batteries go bad but that is the extent of my problems. And after troubleshooting both issues I found that the common denominator was me, the lazy one. I neglected the widow tracks and allowed the weep slots to become clogged and after a 5" rainfall in 24 hours, there was an overflow into the interior. The battery issue was also a lack of maintenance. And I once bought a mid-seventies AMF Super Glide that was a real prize, but that didn’t stop me from buying a 1980 Tour Glide and a 1996 Road King. I still own a 2000 Road Glide. But I did drive past a HD dealer 3 miles into a 25 mile trip to a dealer that did appreciate my business, but that was my choice. So yes, I am an OTT fan boy, but I also bought into your sales tactics 4 times over a 25 years, so I guess I am a HD fan boy as well. Maybe I should have drank the Kool-Aid Big Red was serving, "where you meet the nicest people". Or maybe I’m just stupid. I’ll leave that for others to judge, not that I give a hoot. And this is my favorite t-shirt these days. Thanks to all for allowing me some of your time, Mossey

How to Repair Outside Courtesy Light
mossemi replied to MandD's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
This looks like my lights and at $15, your not going to go broke ordering a pair. You might also call the service department for a replacement. Mossey https://www.pactrademarine.com/courtesy-lights-c-47_29/2-pcs-led-rv-trailer-white-oblong-courtesy-light-p-1588.html -
routlaw, Your mention of Swiftcurrent, reminded me of my favorite hike in that area which took us to the Ptarmigan Tunnel. Tried that hike again years later, but the trail was closed do to a moose kill, so we had to try a new hike and went up to the Swiftcurrent Fire Lookout. Thank you for the memories. Mossey

These are my go to products. The Contractors' Solvent is a little oily, so I follow it up with the GOOF OFF. Mossey

The Oliver Travel Trailer family has once again demonstrated their commitment to all OTT customers by increasing the knowledge base available to not only today’s owners, but tomorrow’s as well through their YouTube channel. I wonder how many RV manufacturers would post a YouTube video discussing the possibility of their RV's leaking! And then providing guidance to prevent and or correct such an issue. Wow, it’s refreshing to spot a bit of frankness in the world today. Thank you Oliver Travel Trailers! Mossey

David, In a previous post bhncb stated: To which Overland stated: We have the same aerator on our kitchen sink, and haven't had a problem. But that might be because we have the truma comfort plus model with the water circulator. So I'm curious now if anyone with the regular truma has tried this aerator and if it works for them. And that is the question I tried to answer, so I apologize if my answer was not clear. So in an effort to clear up my statement, the short answer is yes. Mossey

I put a Mikado Uno .35 GPM in the stock Dura bathroom faucet/shower head and it triggers the Truma AquaGo Comfort in either the faucet or shower mode. I suppose you could always fool the Truma in the shower mode and switch back the the faucet mode if needed, but that would defeat the water saving feature of the .35 GPM aerator or use the .5 GPM version instead. Mossey

Overland, Cool stuff! Will the .35 GPM aerator work with the new faucet? And Amazon has the faucet for for $164,🙈 what a deal. Mossey

You could add a remote display from Progress Industries to your existing surge protector or move the existing display to the battery box or the basement. Mossey

Thanks KWRJRPE! Not sure this is the best topic category to place this suggestion, but since you folks are discussing refrigerators, here goes. I just noticed my 2019 Oliver LE2 (Hull#444) Norcold Refrigerator outside vent door was missing one of the two plastic vent door clamps. I found this on Amazon and suggest folks order a spare or two unless someone has devised a better way to keep the vent door in place. I am happy to report they also work on the Dometic RM2454 vent covers as well. Although I didn’t lose one, I did break one on my upper vent. My refrigerator exhaust fan does not start when I turn it on, so I remove the cover and spin the blade and it starts running. The fan issue is on my list of things to do but the button is replaced. Sherry and Mike and Carol, I guess they don’t make em like they used to. Mossey

Lagun Table Side Mount Retrofit in Twin Bed Elite 2
mossemi replied to Overland's topic in Ollie Modifications
Thanks beaker and Chuck. The table looks very nice. Mossey -
Are you suggesting that I not grease the suspension until I see you at the rally and you can do it for me while also showing me how to do it Bill's way? I have used a creeper to grease the suspension several times and that works fine other than I haven’t figured out how to deflate the creeper wheels while doing the axle limbo.😄. I usually use a roll of paper towels cleaning up the grease that seeped out between the grease gun and the zerk. So I was hoping the LockNLube tip would help. Mossey

Well thanks Ken and Andrew 😮. Now I’m into next weeks allowance. I guess I should buy a bunch of 45° and 90° zerks prior to my spring wheel bearing maintenance. Mossey
