    Based on the posting by @hobo, I contacted John Halter, Owner of Zarcor.  We have scheduled installation of a Zarcor window on our 2022 LEII, Hull #990 in August 31.  John is sending me paperwork for the free window and installation.

    Following the installation, I plan to post an update with photos, and possibly video of the installation.

    My thanks to @hobo for providing the information on this opportunity.

    Awesome, You are the lucky one !!

    But I'm afraid it does. The 4.5 cu ft Norcold will be the smallest RV fridge we've ever had. My wife thinks it's adequate for a couple for 5 days (which I figure will be our max before dumping tanks). Assuming no other fridge but bulk drinks stored in the truck until needed, what say you experienced owners? 5 days food in the Norcold?

    Dear Dud B,

    My husband and I are in complete agreement with Steph.  We were concerned that 4.5 cu ft would be too small before we took our North Dakota trip, but it turned out to work just fine for us.  And you are right, the food lasts for about 5 days, the same time you're thinking of using the dump station.  We also used a cooler in our truck to store extra drinks so you are right on the mark. To make life easier we found that putting all our meats in one rectangular bin and our vegies and fruits in another made it a little easier to pull them out of the refrig. and kept things from rolling around. p.s. We don't eat out much and it held five full days of food.😃    Happy travels to you from Michigan.

    Street Side Awning

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    Steve & Ann, we opted not to get the street side awning, we do like to keep the windows open so i installed the small white gutters on all the windows, it only helps with a very light rain (mist) or the dew in the morning.

    Front "storage" area under Dinette?

    in Ollie Modifications

    VBristo & Cameron: Most any heating company could make you one. Just have to fit-check it once made to see if it will hit wires or valves & the fiberglass  cover will not rock around. Because i worked for a  HVACR company and had installed LOTS of furnaces and AC units, I had experience  in fabricating sheet metal fittings. Because of the small size 26ga or 24ga metal is fine.

    First Real Camping Day Pic!

    in Delivery Day Photos

    Hello Moonlight Mike,

    First congrats on your new travel trailer, I know this is a bit late but I noticed in one of your pictures your TT electrical hookup was laying on the ground. You may want to consider a "Husky Towing 61497 Universal Connector Storage Kit". Cost only about $7.50 It will give you a place to keep your electrical plug out of the water where damage can be a real problem. It is easy to install to.

    Best of luck to you and hope to see ya on the road some day

    Electrical question

    in General Discussion

    HI Dennis1,

    First off you have 2000 Watts not 2000 amps using the battery and inverter

    Most space heaters are max of 1500 watts, So if you are connected to shore power of 30 amps, you should be able to run a space heater & or you furnace with no problem. If you are just on battery/solar you will have to be a bit carful on the power drain. I would just run the heater and when that is off it should be ok to run the Microwave. Leave the refrig. on LP.

    I am sure others will give a better explanation in a short time.

    Oliver EliteII vs Airstream

    in General Discussion

    Posted

    I was camping a few weeks ago and a Airstream owner came over to say Hi, In the conversation he said his Airstream had a bad dent in one of the panels, this quoted repair for one panel was $6000. I explained my got sideswiped on the 3rd day (yes 3 days after delivery day!!)... my repair was about $450 and MY Oliver bumper took off the cars bumper that hit us and did no damage to the Oliver's bumper (well one small cut that the factory repaired).

    Furnace noise reduction

    in Mechanical & Technical Tips

    Posted

    Thirddoor, the reason for the flow reducers is so you can adjust the flow,  maybe reduce the flow a bit in the main cabin to push more in the bathroom (you may want more warm air in the bathroom), but there is no harm in what you have done. I would check the bathroom vent to make sure you are getting enough air flow in there. Glad it reduced the noise for you it was a good idea!!
