With an internal drain and remote thermistor and they would OWN the RV a/c world. GJ

Back in December Dragon Fly took a torpedo. Sadly Dragon Fly did not appear to take any effection efforts to get ahead of the situtation. Now it looks like Will sent them a full spread of them. In light of zero response, their reputation is going down with the ship.....

Patriot/CRM: Thanks for posting Will's latest video. Pretty much substantiates my claim of melting plastic as a source. But it does not explain all the other issues he is pointing out. Sad and potentially dangeros situtation. If you have BB's, it is a must see video. GJ

Wow. Going to reassess my BB's now. GJ

JD: More than a few owners have experienced window leakage onto bedding. None of us are tip-toeing around after having to spend a lot of time with wet bedding. The serious consequences can't be ignored. We are pushing the limits on ideas to stop the leaks. But we stop short of your 3,000 PSI pressure washer or spending thousands to acquire the newly designed windows that give less natural ventilation. I am thrilled that your trailer can withstand any storm or pressure washer without leakage. I can affirm that our trailer's can not withstand any storm, and most of us would shy away from letting you clean our trailers with your great machine. However, if you would please teleport it to Hawaii, I would LOVE to borrow it for about a week! I promise to return it shortly thereafter. 🙂 John

Thanks for the flowers. Just for clarity my post of "Use 40 PSI on Paved Roads and 25 - 30 off road" is for the trailer tire pressures on/off good paved roads. In reality, I do go off road on occarions where the road is graded and pretty well maintained with tires at 40 PSI. But usually I am going less than 20 MPH. If I need to go real slow, or go into 4WD in locker engaged with low range and gears 1 or 2, then I for sure air down to the 25 PSI. Easy to do with my 20V Dewaly air compressor.

Strange that your spare is not the exact tire as your 4 on roat Ollie Tires. Likely your 2017 had replacements along the way. Ditto with mine.

Cool App. thanks for the post. For a newer owner to complete, from my Ollie Keeper Info document, below is the tire info for the 2019 (16" rims) for half the info needed to see what the delta in height will be: Factory Tires: Michelin Defender LTX MS2, LT225/75R16 Light Truck 80 PSI 10 Ply Rated, 10-Ply E Rated, Speed Rating R (106 MPH) Use cold 40 PSI on Paved Roads. 25 - 30 PSI off road Load Index =115R Load Rating 2680# Max Press. Cold: 80 PSI. GJ

Quite an improvement! Your 5.9 turbo Cummins can be "tuned with quite a few mods" to rev beyond 4000 RPM and giving over 900 horsepower. I would not recommend it, but pulling your almost 7.000 pound Ollie going upgrade, you would likely smoke my EcoBoost naked. GJ

Sorry I'm a bit behind on this thread. On my 2019 F-150, the 2" Anderson Receiver with 2 5/16" ball is slightly smaller than the Ford receiver. The hitch pin/hole are right sized. So the "Slack" I see when jacking my Ollie up to undo Anderson chains is actually a rotational arch with the hitch pin and hole acting as a swing point. Not slop back and forth. This arch is actually beneficial as when I see it swing those few degrees, I know it's time to stop lifting. GJ

It's been several years ago so a bit foggy. But I recall that our blinds were a bit defective and OTT sent us some new ones with clips. I reused the old four clips and added two extra for grins. Put the other two in my "Junk and Precious Stuff drawer in the kitchen. Six clips ended my falling blinds syndone. GJ

Ron and JD: The above 23.5" to 25" recommendation was for our older trailers with the larger wheel diameter. Sam's 2025 trailer I believe has 15" rims. So likely the target is not the same as those with 16" tires. I also agree that a bit low on the front of Ollie is also advantageous, especially out west were speeds tend to be higher. I agree with both JD and Dave that for setting up the systems for travel.... Stand back and take a gander. For those of us with older F-150's, we have found that a pair of Bilstein 5100's shocks and air bags on the rear axle have made a wonderful improvement in our driving experiences. GJ

I use them into all the weeps, and then along the trough's both ways. To get to the inside weeps, for most of them you have to go "fishing" thru the outside weep and left and right to find the inner weeps. Finally I cut some of the 18" into 4+ inch small pipe cleaners bend them and stuff one into each weep. I for years thought it was bogus, but now believe it does help with drainage. Something like capillary action. Since they look a bit dorky, I use them when expecting Texas sized "Turd Floating Gully Washers". After the storm I pull them out and they are stored in a zip lock bag for the next time. Got the idea here on the forum by a wiser than I owner! GJ AI Capillary action (or capillarity) is the ability of a liquid to flow in narrow spaces, like tubes or porous materials, against gravity, driven by the forces of adhesion (liquid sticking to the surface) and cohesion (liquid sticking to itself), combined with surface tension. This "wicking" effect allows water to move up plant roots, colors to travel up paper towels, and liquids to fill tiny crevices, making it vital for plant life and everyday tasks like using a sponge

JD to answer your points, I took the liberty of adding A, B, C, D in front of them. A. I can assure you that our vintage windows can and do leak, and that they do cause damage (espcally to beddng). Short of an oak tree taking out the window frame, the storm itself does not cause damage. It is the accumulation of "stuff" in the track that blocks the weeps and that causes damage. B. Maybe you are blessed! Or maybe in AZ you don't see much rain! But looking at it from the "other side", why have so many owner installed rain gutters to help mitigate the flow of water INTO their trailers? C. I use and posted using a lot of water carefully from the inside trough to the outside trough to the outside of the trailer. You know the weeps are functional when you add water to the inside trough and it flows to the outside wall of the trailer. The cleaning process is working when you see the system drainng well. GJ It helps to raise/lower the trailer tongue jack to let gravity assist in the effort. GJ

Maybe OTT did, maybe not. After all, more than a few folks don't have city water or well water where they store their Ollie. For them, maybe not.
