Corvus

The red light seems to be as good as amber to reduce insects attracted to white light, like moths. We keep only the interior red lights on to transition in and out of the camper to minimize the number of moths slipping through. But mosquitoes are more complex with studies showing they may be attracted to longer wavelengths like red (warmer) more than shorter wavelengths like blue (cooler) or even white. Light is not a primary attractant like carbon dioxide and body temperature so the color around us may not make a big difference. My experience is that I see plenty of mosquitoes when using red or amber lighting. So I don't rely on lighting to help with the mosquitoes.

Thanks, I have not read the book, I'll look into though. I chose corvus for the species of birds that I admire and encountered often in my travels. I had a 12" dob for a few months, it was just too big for me to enjoy transporting routinely, plus my brain does not tolerate spikes very well. The courtesy lights I used have been discontinued.

I changed the interior courtesy lights to red for the same reason plus it helps preserve night vision for night sky observing. For the exterior lights I covered them with a dark amber film. One day I want to add the dimmer to the interior white lights too.

Just checked ours and the aerator and switch section can be unscrewed from the hose but the restriction looks small.

Empire is the brand on our 2019. The label is near the base on the right. It's very light so it was difficult to see until I removed it.

Ideally you would connect the manometer in place of the device, in this case the Truma. If that is not practical then try where the gas line Tees off from the main line. If you have the front and rear quick attach propane ports I would also try to get a reading there for a base line. Another thought is to check where the propane is fed into the Truma to mix with oxygen if it is not completely sealed. There are insects that can get into small spaces and build their nest out of dirt, clay, ash, etc. like a Dirt Dobber only much smaller. They got into my refrigerator propane mixing chamber and restricted the flow enough that it would not burn clean. It was obvious from the soot around the chamber that it was not getting enough oxygen so that might be another sign to look for. Although I have a Truma I'm not very familiar with them so I'm just spit balling from my experience with other propane devices. Good luck with getting it figured out and working again.

We've left ours for nearly a year after only a few uses. So long as it is not near capacity and the fan is running without extreme humidity conditions it will dry out to be more adsorbent material for later use. Since we are in Florida we run a large dehumidifier which helps a lot. Never noticed a foul odor having done this many times. If near half capacity or the crank is tough to turn, then probably best to empty if not going to use it for a while.

I replaced my courtesy lights with some I found on Amz, but it look like they have been discontinued. Hopefully you can find a similar product.

I used a film to change my outside lights to amber. Much easier on the eyes and doesn't attract insects like the stock white. I tried two other brands before finding a company that makes a good product. They also make a red film which I also have in case I want to go red outside. It might work for the courtesy lights also.

Being so close to the black tank maybe it runs on methane.

A little off topic but are you familiar with CAT scales? They only charge per visit so no upfront layout. A useful tool especially if you have some nearby where you can get weights for multiple configurations.

Something I recommend over using vinegar in the Natures Head is a pet odor eliminator like Petzyme. Without getting into details I can tell you it has made a big difference in the hot humid Florida climate. This is not just a coverup deodorant the enzymes (urease maybe) do seem to make a difference. There are other brands but their fragrance was a bit too strong for us.

Congratulations on your 2022 Oliver. I'll chime in on pots, pans and knives. Check out the Magma line of pots and pans made for boating and camping. The 7 piece set nest together and fits in the galley overhead compartment. They are durable and we are very happy with how they perform. For cutlery Victorinox makes a wide variety of affordable knives that perform well and they're durable. When we were outfitting our Oli there were a few people that had an Amazon page with items they purchased for their Oliver. I can't find the links at the moment but hopefully someone else can and post them for you.

Q1; On my model the only way to achieve this is to turn the fan off, which will close the cover, then turn the vent cover knob to open the cover. Q2: Gently turn the tabs until they release the screen. Don't be surprised or alarmed if one falls out.

During our recent rescue Oli from the hurricane trip #3 or 4, I'm loosing count, I noticed how dingy it looks. The TV is "polar white" and they used to match pretty well. Maybe all the tannin from oak and hickory tree detritus has taken its toll. I would like to paint wrap ours white, or maybe add yellow, red and blue dots and nickname it Wonder Loaf.
