Thanks for all the responses. Turns out the RV dealer where I had brought the Ollie for bearings and grease job had sent out the wheels to a tire shop near them to have the valve stems replaced. Not wanting to drive the extra fifty miles again, I solved my problem by putting the spare on the Ollie and bringing the affected wheel to a good local tire shop, only a few miles away, who showed me that the valve stem used had a poor seal. They replaced it with a metal brass stem (the tech didn't know the brand, they get them in bulk as they do a lot of fleet work on E rated truck tires) and balanced the tire. I went home, brought the Ollie back with the spare on and they changed the remaining 4 valve stems and installed the sensors for me. An hour later the Ollie was back home, all 5 tires are good with no air leaking. I'll hit up the original RV dealer for the forty dollars.
Does anyone use a sensor on the spare?

Can anyone tell what breand of metal valve stems work well on our rims (2021 Elite II). I purchased a TST TPMS system and want to use metal stems. Had a local dealer install the metal stems. The TPMS sensors have been on three days. Today when checking the tires to see if the tpms read the same as my guage, one tire was a few pounds low. I removed the sensor, added air, then when I screwed the sensor back on there was a distinct air leak. Yjought it was the core, but it seems air is leaking where the stem meets the rim. must be a bad seal. So my thought is our rims may need a particular brand of stems? Monday moring i'll be on the phone with delaer.

One more consideration. Replacing an external unit is a lot easier than the cost and time to replace the onboard unit.

That map pin in MA looks to be on Rt. 91. above Springfield That could make it either Camping World, or an independant dealer, Orchard Trailers.

I'll add my two cents and say that I hae been using Meguiars pruducts with good results. I like the rolling warehouse platform idea, but dont have room to store one. The best item I use during cleaning is a Werner podium ladder ( https://www.wernerco.com/us/products/ladders/step-ladders/PD6200Series/PD6206 ). It gives me the ability get close enough and high enough to do the roof and is easy to store at home.

I use Meguires One Step Marine compound. Works great on those black streaks.

Found a similar item on Amazon for $13.99. Plenty of rings to keep the chains off the ground, and covers the plug holder.

For those with the electronic door lock that was supplied in 2021( RVLock brand) that may have peeling numbers, here's the fix. The lock has a decal that was peeling on the numbers used for my entry code. I just installed a replacement one piece membrane that solved the problem, took 15 minutes to remove the lock and install the membrane.

I also ordered the Southco locking compression latches, 7L279, from Great Lakes Skipper. Just installed them with no issues. Just had to get new screws etc., as all you get is the locks and keys when you order. Sale price is still on. I'd say the big advantage is the key. No longer afraid that I might snap it off in the lock.

They look good. I like that the key is more solid looking.

Why is it so hard to find low pressure grills and stove?
This year We started using the Nomadiq grill. https://www.amazon.com/NOMADIQ-Portable-Lightweight-Tabletop-Tailgating/dp/B08588PLK8/ref=asc_df_B08588PLK8/?tag=&linkCode=df0&hvadid=416696576536&hvpos=&hvnetw=g&hvrand=961126175319737280&hvpone=&hvptwo=&hvqmt=&hvdev=c&hvdvcmdl=&hvlocint=&hvlocphy=9003291&hvtargid=pla-900043571940&ref=&adgrpid=92049668097&th=1
It's low pressure out of the box, no regulator built onto the grill itself. It comes supplied with hose and regulator to work off a small Coleman LP bottle. I opted to purchase their adapter hose to allow direct hookup to Ollie. https://www.amazon.com/nomadiQ-Adapter-Hose-Portable-Grill/dp/B09MDJ5M75/ref=pd_bxgy_sccl_2/138-2326693-0637356?pd_rd_w=z118w&content-id=amzn1.sym.26a5c67f-1a30-486b-bb90-b523ad38d5a0&pf_rd_p=26a5c67f-1a30-486b-bb90-b523ad38d5a0&pf_rd_r=ADVPY0FTH99QWGZCH486&pd_rd_wg=t3Oiv&pd_rd_r=82bf38df-5095-4974-9182-eb1158b627de&pd_rd_i=B09MDJ5M75&psc=1
It works great for us, Cooks really well, lightweight and small foot print when folded. When I want to use the cast iron skillet, I have a one burner low pressure stove https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B07PFL5D3R/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_search_asin_title?ie=UTF8&psc=1 that fits the bill.

Great news. Thank sto everyone who has shown interest.

I've checked with two marine distributors, neither had any offerings with unsimilar keys Although there are locks with better keys, they are similar, as is Southcos.

Just got back from a week out with Ollie. I see there's a lot of interest here. I going to try a local marine supply outfit near me, West Marine. Maybe i'll have some good news to report back.

Im looking to add TPMS to Ollie. What brands are reccommened?
-
Has anybody replaced the factory installed compression locks on the battery and cellar doors? I'd like to find a similar lock that uses a better key.

I just installed this system, as the camera was a fit for the existing Furrion bracket on my Ollie, and the monitor is 7". Found it on Amazon. https://www.amazon.com/dp/B078PDH6Z8?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details
Much better picture than the Furrion 4" monitor it replaced.A MTIFO RV Backup Camera Wireless HD 1080P Trailer Bluetooth Rear View Cam System Touch Key 7'' DVR Monitor Split Screen 4 Channels for Truck Camper Adapter for Furrion Pre-Wired RVs A7

So what are the activities that can be accomplished, other than a showing? Is there a way to see those without committing to join?

Try the Embassy Inn in Hohenwald. It's not fancy, was being remodeled. Stayed there one night last year when we took delivery of 802.

Brand of metal valve stems
in Mechanical & Technical Tips

Good idea. Never thought about a sensor for the truck spare, but makes sense if I put one on the Ollie spare to also do the truck.
