John, Sorry to hear this news, and its the first I have heard of a window frame coming loose. Can you provide any photos?

Like you, we really gave the 50GB a month “frugal” try, and quickly realized it was a no go for us while on extended trips. The unlimited roaming plan works best for us now and then we pause service when we arrive back home.

@Geronimo John PM sent. Patriot🇺🇸

I am so glad I had the 5200# never lubes retrofit as well as the Alcan 5 leaf pack. Glad to see your positive review after 10,000 miles Mountainman198. A very worthwhile mod! 👍🏻🇺🇸👍🏻

@John and Debbie Pro tip 😊- A cheap HF moving blanket is nice to have to lay on while under the belly of the beast while greasing zerks or torquing running gear fasteners. I always carry one for this purpose. I carry several others to lay over my truck in the event of a hail storm. These blankets came in handy when we had rain and small hail at the last Oliver Rally.

Also highly recommend the roam plan if your planning a long trip. https://www.starlink.com/roam

Looks like the Starlink Mini is on sale right now for $299.00. https://www.starlink.com/roam

The Starlink Mini is in sale right now for $299.00 and makes streaming a breeze. 😊 We also stayed at that same KOA when we got our Alcan leaf pack installed. We were glad to have the Mini and it worked great. Congrats on the Alcan’s! https://www.starlink.com/roam

Another recall….🙁 https://autos.yahoo.com/toyota-recalls-almost-half-million-000000687.html

Really?? 😏 I say nice job @mossemi and a lot of work, Ya gotta roll what works for you brother! 👍🏻 We have the Norcold and still carry a Truma 36C cooler in our TV. Well done Mike!! Patriot🇺🇸

Well done Mike! I can’t imagine how much work and effort this mod took. Hats off!! 🫡

Interested to hear about your range reports when towing in the high mountain passes as well as the flatlands. Obviously 500 mile range loaded and towing is not what your expectations are. My SWAG is maybe a 250-300 mile range loaded might even be ambitious. I suppose you can plug in at CGs but there will likely be an additional fee.

@Geronimo John Nice job and certainly much better use of the radius corner space in the wardrobe for sure. We opted to use a removable/stackable shelve drawer system which has worked really well for our closet storage. I will try and take a few pics post up.

Same issue a few years ago. I cleaned the hull area where it was mounted with alcohol first removing any residual factory adhesive. I secured it with 3m VBH tape and it has not moved. 👍🏻

Looks a whole lot neater than my soon to be no longer used Camco water hose. 👍🏻

Agree, it’s hit and miss with etrailer. I will default to other vendors if it’s something specific I need and always verify if it’s in stock and they can put their hands on it. As perviously stated its Just not worth the hassle trying to return any product in my experience with etrailer. Here- https://www.reviews.io/company-reviews/store/etrailer-com

Nice! 👍🏻Options are always good! Strong reviews too. -https://www.amazon.com/Lightweight-Leakproof-OrangeBlack-10-FT/dp/B0DNM146J5/ref=sr_

Congrats on your new running gear. We have the exact same set up and are very happy. Lew and his crew at Alcan are pros and really do a great job. Well worth the trip and time to have this install done right. 👍🏻

Bill, The only draw back with Etrailer is they do not use an “RMA system” aka return merchandise authorized. It appears the buyer pays always shipping on returns. As with any business they have their share of complaints on BBB (link). I am very careful what I order from etrailer and verify the exact part(s) they are selling me are in stock and ready to ship that day. https://www.bbb.org/us/mo/wentzville/profile/new-auto-parts/etrailercom-0734-310024011/complaints

You may or may not like the cost involved. I believe @ScubaRx has disc brakes on his Oliver.

@John and Debbie Here you go and it’s even on sale! 👍🏻 https://www.etrailer.com/Accessories-and-Parts/Valterra/A10-1314VP.html?feed=npn&gad_source=1&gad_campaignid=1672411894&gclid=CjwKCAjwuIbBBhBvEiwAsNypvQ1XKW9UZOvykONtRfVuZZ7Oa3mCtQb5eZYfkAeF53AIxmbXV19a9hoC2MYQAvD_BwE This looks exactly like the screen I installed.

@shhQuiet AI….…missed a minor detail. I actually removed and cleaned my interior filters on our Truma Aventa. Not hard to do and will save you a few bucks. Naturally Truma would like you to purchase new filters every 12 months 🫤. Planned obsolescence? 🤔 A little tutorial link…super easy. https://www.google.com/search?q=youtube+cleaning+Truma+aventa+RV+AC+filters&rlz=1C9BKJA_enUS1119US1119&oq=youtube+cleaning+Truma+aventa+RV+AC+filters&gs_lcrp=EgZjaHJvbWUyBggAEEUYOTIHCAEQIRigATIHCAIQIRigATIHCAMQIRigATIHCAQQIRigATIHCAUQIRigATIKCAYQABiABBiiBDIKCAcQABiABBiiBDIHCAgQABjvBdIBCTE5MjA3ajFqNKgCArACAeIDBBgBIF8&hl=en-US&sourceid=chrome-mobile&ie=UTF-8#fpstate=ive&vld=cid:572788ff,vid:B90-iekBCD0,st:0

Sounds like a perfect time to switch to the Gorilla hose Bill! 🤔

On our way back from the rally we had to stop at one of our favorite pull offs on the Smoky Mountain Expressway. So glad this scenic highway is in our backyard. Loving all things in the Smoky Mountains and the Blue Ridge! Mountains as far as you can see.
