I can’t post a link to an Amazon product from within the Amazon app using an iPad or an android. So I go to the Amazon site through a web browser and copy the link from there. As an example, see the picture below. Copy “amazon.com” from the browser search bar. It is the highlighted window in the picture and paste that in the posting. You can paste that in a different browser window to test it. Mike

I have used both with equal results. The countersink bit is faster. I haven’t tried reverse drilling with the countersink, but that may be an option. I would be willing to bet a cup of joe that my countersink is more dull than yours?. Mike

Once again the “SME” shines the light so the rest of us can see. Thanks Steve, Mike

I stumbled across this tutorial while reading about a Balmar battery monitor and thought it contained some excellent information. Although the article is really about re-bedding deck hardware on boats with through bolts and butyl tape, I thought the discussion about drilling holes and finishing with a countersink bit would be of interest to other OTTO's. And the Balmar battery monitor also looks like an interesting product. https://marinehowto.com/bed-it-tape/ Mike

Good idea, thanks. And to add on to you post, I used a Home Depot bucket lid to make a washer for the threaded rod and round nut. Mike

That’s great and we have another Florida based Ollie. Mike

I’m glad to hear the Thundershirt is working for Livvy. Hope you have a peaceful night of fireworks. They have already started in Lutz. Mike

[postquote quote=179826][/postquote] The first one I bought was for use with a Toyota RAV4. Then I bought a Land Cruiser and it would not fit because of the way the face of the receiver is built. I contacted Hitch Rider and provided them with measurements and pictures. A new one arrived in a week that was built to my spec's. I'm story to hear they are no longer built in the USA and I'm also glad you didn’t buy one on my endorsement. JD, sorry I misquoted you?. Mike

Although I use a Andersen WD hitch when towing our Ollie, I have used a tow & stow for about 2 years for a variety of other towing needs. I am extremely pleased with the B&W product. I also use a Hitch Vice to lock the draw bar to the TV. There are many variations of what JD refers to as a "slobber stopper", this is just the American made brand I have used for the last 10 years.

Good luck today and with the future thunderstorms we get this time of the year. As a past owner of a noise reactive dog, I feel you pain. It is a helpless feeling watching you baby shake in terror and you are nearly powerless to do anything. Mike

Hopefully everyone will have fun on the 4th. Stay safe??.

Nice catch! That’s one of those things I took for granted. After a quick inspection, I’m good. Thanks, Mike

Nice job trimming the tie wraps with flush cut snips. I hate tie wraps when they are not cut properly and they end up being razors. Mike

[postquote quote=178926][/postquote] Since you already have the bike wing rack, you might think about this mount. It’s the Lippert version aka “Jack-It”. I don’t think you can buy the tower alone, but you could think of something along those lines. Mike

I still believe in innocence before guilt, so I don’t pass judgement until all of the evidence has been gathered. Mike

[postquote quote=178842][/postquote] Yep, that’s how mine come out as well. Glad you got some family help. Mike

[postquote quote=178740][/postquote] So,did run the fish tape up through the street side rear corner or did you find a route near the pantry? Mike

[postquote quote=178722][/postquote] He is going to have to hustle to beat you to Montana. Mike

Cool! Krunch and I have been wondering how far along the route you all have made it. Stay safe and keep us posted. Mike

[postquote quote=178536][/postquote] That’s against the law in Florida. But just call and I’ll come and get you out. Mike

[postquote quote=177651][/postquote] Like Overland, I have no trouble fitting 3 of these into the basement storage area. Along with 2 5x7 outdoor rugs and room for 2 - 4lb. bags of charcoal. Mike

Thank you for posting this installation. It’s been on my wish list for a while. I missed the BVM 712 on Amazon last December at about $180 and I have been stubbornly waiting for the price to drop again. I should probably raid my piggy bank or start collecting aluminum cans and just pay the extra $25. Thanks again,

Hip hip hooray??? Mike

Now I know why you took out the black tank. It really didn’t make sense to me until you explained your reasoning. Did you remount your inverter on plywood? I seem to remember you mentioned that before. Thanks, Mike

[postquote quote=177285][/postquote] Is it still apart because you haven’t finished installing the NH toilet or are you putting in that new sink/shower combo faucet you wished you had done before? If it’s the faucet, which make and model are you using? Mike
