Thanks, JD. Excellent write up and pictures. Mossey

I sent a PM message to Hardrock in January and he has not read it yet so I am posting here in hopes he will see it. mossemi Started conversation: January 19 A Furrion rep noticed my OTTO rally t-shirt while I was attending the RV Super Show in Tampa last week and asked about my OTT. We discussed a variety of topics and I suggested he should seek a sponsorship opportunity at the 2020 rally. I have included his business card if you are interested. How are things going in Quartzite? Mossey

I hooked the coax cable from the campground box to Oliver. Where is this connection? I then tried attaching the coax to the satellite port on outside of the Oliver. Is this connection on the rear of the trailer, street side or do you have 2 coax connections outside? Have you tried running the coax from the campground box straight to the television?

I don’t ever remember having our well water at home tested, so I’m not sure how often that happens at campgrounds. I do wish they would clean the bathrooms and showers though. I can tell you that the distiller I use at home for cooking and drinking water has a stainless pot that the water is heated in. The pot requires periodic cleaning and the residue left from the distilling process is nasty. I am confident that the distiller is doing its job. We rarely ever use the city water connection as I prefer filling the fresh water tank and using the onboard pump. This eliminates me walking away from the OTT and leaving a active water supply connected. I do use either the large 2 canister filter or a small Camco filter whenever I fill the fresh water tank. I have never used a filter when using the winterizing/Boondocking port, so no advice or experience on that issue. I do use the look, smell and taste test on potable water sources and I will add a sanitizer if needed before pumping it into the tank.

I noticed your table leg laying on the floor in the dog picture. Here is an idea for storing the leg.

Thank you ctshort09! Mossey

As I have said before, with the limited space in our SUV, I really like to carry items that serve multiple needs while camping. Pictures of my filter stand and storage container. Mossey

I spent about $100 and you just pick your filter cartridges to fit your needs. I don’t think any water filtration company has any better quality filters than you or I can purchase online or locally. I don’t drink tap water or cook with it as I have a preference for distilled water and usually start our trips with 8 gallons of water distilled at home and resupply as needed while on the road.

This is my home made water filter from common water equipment available at HD, Lowe’s or Amazon. Mossey

Good morning Hobo! We stayed section F, about as far from the lake as we could get and I use a short wire cable to secure my propane access port. I believe you were just down the road from us. I have already put 10 or 12 of the cables in my OTT to give away at the rally to anyone interested. "the dog house" will be in the same spot.

This works for me when needed.

We were on the same page Mike, it just took me longer to find proof.

All of the supply side pipes are 1/2” in my 2017 LE2. Home Depot and Lowe’s stock Pex pipe and fittings. There are push type fittings, such as SharkBite and also crimp fittings which need a special crimping tool that will work with Pex pipe. Cold water pipe is blue and hot is red. White pipe is also available. Some people do not trust SharkBite fittings, but I have used them at home and never had a failure. They are great in emergencies.

Thanks Jeff! We only spent part of a day at Guadalupe NP and hiked to Devils Hall.

Jeff, thanks for bring back fond memories of the Indian lands of New Mexico and Arizona with your pictures. Thinking about Chaco made me shiver again, that’s a weird place. Is the survey maker in the first picture on the mountain with the communications equipment in Big Bend NP?

I moved my television to the center mount location in March 2019 for many of the same reasons mentioned in this post. I used Mike and Carol's suggestion of a door knob protector to cover the old wiring hole into the attic. I did not like the looks of the door knob protector because the mounting tape was too thick and it left a noticeable gap between the protector and the fiberglass. So I went back to Amazon and bought a 2" white plastic hole plug that worked perfectly. The only problem is it came in a bag of 25. So I have 23 left now because I sent one to DavidS. If you want to do this mod or already have and need a hole cover, just let me know via PM and include your address. I drop one in mail for you. I also found some small white foam circles that I used to cover the bolt holes.

If you remove the old light, you might find some manufacturers identification inside. Also check with the OTT service department. It looks like etrailer has some lights that look similar to the early model Oliver’s. Check here: https://www.etrailer.com/s.aspx?qry=Rv+Porch+Light&furl=-vw-1

Do you have a neutral bonding plug plugged into your generator? If not, the surge suppressor with block the incoming current. See the following post for more information. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/generator-use-with-hard-wired-surge-protector/ Mike

Nan, see this post. Mike

Was that at 300 baud?😃 Mike

The white weather strip the covers the outside track of the sliding window is reusable. Be sure to have fun while cleaning the window tracks. Mike

Wishing everyone a Happy Thanksgiving. Mike and Krunch

I replaced mine in May 2019 and it just may be the best $100 I ever spent. You will need 5' for each large window and 2' for the bath on an LEII or 17'. Mike

Good thinking Ken. When something like the generator struggling happens, it very easy to go down the rabbit hole and making it very complicated. I often forget to sit down and think about it. Mike
