  1. Getting closer to the rally. Lake Manawa SP in Council Bluffs Iowa. Clear view across lake to the Mutual of Omaha building.
  2. Snake Credk Recreation Area in SD on Missouri River. Site 21E on side of lake is Electric only but great view.
  3. Article below includes design for dc/dc charger back in 2019-2021 the factory refused to even consider adding a dc/dc charger for customers. As Jd stated we also used 4awg in the supply from truck back to the dc/dc unit. I don’t understand how a 7 pin can possibly supply adequate power. At the rally I’ll ask what magic they are using at the factory. https://4-ever-hitched.com/blog-articles/f/lithium-battery-upgrade?blogcategory=Electrical+Upgrades craig. Hull 505 2019
  4. The cable that runs from the valve to the handle has a set screw at the valve. Sometimes they will loosen and the cable slides back & forth but doesn’t fully close the valve. Check that by manually pushing the valve body closed and the T handle all the way in…then re tighten the set screw. Here are 2 photos of the valve as setup properly in a 2019 EII. when closed for travel When open for camping For the T handle remember Drive In ….Camp Out hope that helps.
  5. Still heading towards rally. Visited Yellowstone and Grand Teton , now in Custer SD. site at Legion Lake CG
  6. Yellowstone Grizzly RV park in west Yellowstone is $162/night for FHU pull thru. Henry’s lake sP is ~20 miles west of the west Yellowstone entry gate and is $30/night for water & electric
  7. I’ve stumbled onto a couple others in the owners who worked for HP/Agilent/Keysight during their working years. Anyone want to report in and meet up at the rally? Craig Short - Retired from Hp/Agilent/Keysight
  8. Yellowstone Shuts Showers at newly revamped Fishing Bridge: We’ve had a reservation in Yellowstone for 9 months. They just sent a notice of no working showers today. We will be fine but I sent the GM a 50% refund request … at $125 a night, showers and bathrooms must work. I’ve grown weary of company execs who are clueless and don’t care for the customers they are supposed to serve. The "Amenity" Loophole: Because your reservation at Fishing Bridge RV Parkprovides you with a physical campsite, water, and electrical hookups, Xanterra classifies the public shower facility as a "complimentary amenity" or a separate service rather than a guaranteed part of your nightly site fee. Their terms dictate that the closure of a single amenity does not qualify a guest for a partial refund on the campsite itself. [1] Read more Thursday at 05:33 PM 1 1 Edit Report topgun2 My personal opinion is that you are absolutely correct. These "vendors" don't put nearly enough back into our National Parks and as a result, trash bins overflow, the lodges we all paid for are in sad need of maintenance as are the kind of facilities you mention. Yes, we are loving these Parks to death but I don't see where the vendors are doing anything but "taking" with precious little "giving. Bill Yesterday at 06:54 AM Report Tom and Doreen We had the a similar issue camping at Skidaway Island State Park, they had a water main break. We had no city water connection for the duration of our stay; no discount or refund. 19 hours ago Report Galway Girl Update: I emailed the GM for Xanterra with a concern of false advertising of amenities. He had a person call back to explain that they still had nearby restrooms open but no shower for 25 miles. They said they will apply a $50/night discount for the inconvenience. This dropped the price at Fishing Bridge from $125 to $75/night. Tip: Next year these bookings will be managed by Rec.gov instead of Xanterra, and they now only allow 6 months advance booking so if your going to Yellowstone next September, bookings open March 1.

  10. Attached article on building a solar add on for the Olivef with specific instructions on the zamp connection polarity. https://4-ever-hitched.com/blog-articles/f/here-comes-the-sun?blogcategory=Electrical+Upgrades
  11. On our way to the rally. 4 stops so far Plymouth Wa COE Wallowa Lake SP OR Farewell Bend Rec Area OR Three Island Crossing SP -Glenns Ferry ID Roses Great Grandpa was a wagon master for 6 crossings here on the Oregon Trail before stopping in Idaho as a settler.
  12. I’m sure you’ve done this but just to check a few things: 1: Strainer in place and fully seated. 2: Pop off sealed, try open and close a few times to make sure it seals. If neither of those work you may have a split in the back side of the black mixing chamber. (Looks like a big themos ) This could happen if you didn’t drain and leave strainer out in cold weather. (That would be a big repair bill.$
  13. 2019 CO detector finally timed out. 
    Found a unit that was new (old stock) that had 4 yrs life left and installed 

    Drilled out old rivets (shown in pix) & installed new unit.

    Set for about 4 years life in there new unit.

    Looking forward to the rally in October.

  14. Guide along has been with us on every trip and we've covered a lot of their tours. Just always have to remember to turn it on as we get closer to the tour routes. We've used the NPS apps as well and found both enjoyable.
  15. From $159K for the higher end model
