  1. John, I will weigh in here - Per the TST tech I spoke with you will require the booster for TST to honor your warranty and for the TPMS to operate at its maximum potential. It takes a few min to connect the repeater. The TST tech also told me that using the system without the repeater you could easily have RF interference and you can easily loose your signal. My TST monitor is always on while plugged in and charging. When I unplug it from charging, it will shut off via the switch. I highly recommend you consider installing the booster/repeater for a proper install. 3 years in and my TST TPMS is working great. I do monitor my tires when traveling for heat and tire pressure. The monitor is so easy to read right there on my dash eye level. Cheers & Safe Travels from SW Colorado! Patriot🇺🇸
  2. Our Pro Breeze works fine as long as our interior temp is an above 45 degrees. As for battery draw down, I can’t answer that question as we have never run ours all night on 12v.
  3. Cheffing up good eats at our base camp in Montrose, Co this evening.👨🏼‍🍳😋 IMG_9806.mov
  4. @Jav8or Welcome to the forum and thanks for your first post. Maybe introduce your self and let us know what tow vehicle, year Oliver and Hull# you own so we can help you better. I have the 3200i and installed it in the our Oliver cargo basket in a custom lock down security basket crafted specific to the 3200i. Between the the gen security mount and the cargo basket I custom cut and installed 3/4” rubber horse stall mat from Tractor Supply. It really helps isolate the engine vibration from the gen when running on high. You did not say where you place the gen while you are running it? Is it in the cargo basket? If so you will need the rubber isolator that I mentioned at a minimum. The rubber feet on the gen are not substantial enough to isolate the vibs when running the gen in normal mode. We don’t experience excessive vibration that you mention when running the gen on high with the rubber mat installed. We really like our 3200i and how it is custom installed, we don’t leave home without it. We have already used it when we experienced a power outage at a CG last summer. It’s a game changer. See link below. Patriot🇺🇸
  5. @Sak I had a cover on our former “Demonic Penguin” AC and it never blew off in high wind. It can be cinched down pretty tight. We never had issues with birds or bugs at all. Patriot🇺🇸
  6. @jd1923 with that Cummins diesel engine brake, your truck and new trailer brakes should last a long time👍🏻. I rarely use my truck or trailer brakes on long mountain passes with the engine brake. We are really appreciating the diesel engine brake right now out here in the Colorado Rockies. In my experience, Ford absolutely nailed it on the diesel engine brake in our TV. It works excellent. Nice job on the rebuild! 👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸
  7. Congrats on your new Oliver. Wishing you all the best and miles of smiles! We look forward to photos and travel stories! Welcome back! Patriot 🇺🇸
  8. Thanks for the suggestion!

  10. Welcome and enjoy many miles and smiles of adventures! Patriot🇺🇸
  11. Chris, If you want to save your self future rear view cam headaches consider ordering the Furion cam that Oliver now installs. I had the Voyager and it had water intrusion. The gal at Voyager sent me the replacement admitted that they have had many of these rear cams returned due to leaks/fog up. The seals in the Voyager just are not that good and over time leak. Personally I would not reinstall another Voyager based on a google search of owner user reviews and what their customer service rep told me. On one of my Oliver service visits I had the new Furion cam installed and it’s serving me well. If you’re going to all the trouble of a replacing your cam, maybe consider a clean and neat install/upgrade to a Furion. Happy Trails, Patriot🇺🇸
  12. Way to fly our great country’s only flag Max! 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸 Looking great, enjoy!! Onward! Patriot🇺🇸
  13. IMG_9671.mov We hiked around Bear Lake it is beautiful. We also hiked Sprague Lake. I may do a little trout fishing.
  14. Mike, Thanks! we are headed there tomorrow! 👍🏻👍🏻😊
  15. We are based camped in Estes Park Colorado at Spruce Lake which is about 1.5 miles from the entrance of RMNP entrance. We went on line and locked in 2 separate days of park access plus passes. Park plus gives us access to the entire park including Bear Lake. We will be here for a week with so much to see. We are heading into the park at 10 am this morning. A brisk 48d here this morning 64 and full sun is the high, great weather all week. Things can change fast in the mountains so we stay weather aware all the time. We could hear the Elk bugling while enjoying dinner last night, awesome! A small herd of 6-8 deer walked by our site yesterday afternoon.😋 Onward! Patriot🇺🇸 Dinner last night, I cheffed up season and garlic rubbed tenderloins with a smoked blue cheese crumble. Breakast- our own venison sausage, cheesey eggs and a waffle. Roughing it! 😊
  16. We are camping in the in Colorado Rockies as I write this post. I can’t begin to express how happy we are towing our LE2 with our F350 6.7 PS Diesel. You can get by with a half ton towing the E1 for sure. As our LE2, we prefer a 1 ton to get the job done for many more reasons than I care to write. Safety and long haul comfort is at the top of our list. We just could not pass up the Cabelas in Lonetree Colorado yesterday.😊 Patriot🇺🇸
  17. Thank Bill, much appreciated!
  18. Base Camp here for few nights…in Colorado Springs, now we will begin plotting and planning and our list is full of more adventures. Thanks for everyone’s input. Onward! After a long travel day….smoked and grilled lemon pepper chicken a top a salad with Old Croc cheddar hit the spot. Cheers! 🥂 Patriot🇺🇸
  19. We are going to try and see as much of CO as we can! So our itinerary is wide open. Thanks for the invite MAX, we’ll keep it in mind and PM you if we make it down your way. 👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸🇺🇸 Onward!
  20. I agree when parked off the road for higher visibility and especially insurance reasons. 👍🏻
  21. Last night we night we stayed at Washington State recreation area. https://dnr.illinois.gov/parks/camp/park.washingtoncounty.html A really nice CG @$20 per night elec only and a dump station. Super quiet, concrete pads, super clean rest rooms/showers, and really nice camp hosts. The park had plenty of availability when we arrived and is only 8-9 miles off I64. @rideandfly yes sir, we will be crossing the Mississippi today. 😊 Onward!
  22. Making our way to out Colorado yesterday we stopped at Buc-ee’s in Knoxville, Tenn. It was our very first time. The barbecue brisket and pork sandwiches “Texas style” were ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing. Just like we remember when we lived in Texas. And just a warning Buc-ee’s Cheddar cheese NUG-EE’S are addicting. Don’t buy a bag you won’t like them 😝. We continued on I40 west to Cedars of Lebanon SP for a nice restful nights sleep. A really nice SP about 7 mi off of I40. Large spacious sites, a nice staff and great place to layover. A few FH sites, mostly W/E sites and a dump station and fairly modern bath houses. We would stay here again.👍🏻 Onward! 😳😋😋😂
  23. We use command strips for anything we attach to the interior walls. They seem to hold up well and don’t leave a residue if you decide to remove them. https://www.command.com/3M/en_US/command/products/?utm_term=cbg-chim-cmmd-en_us-ba-paidsearch-cpc-google-na-na-na-ne22&gclid=CjwKCAjwr_CnBhA0EiwAci5sivt6zGthV_k-A3PwrXFTiYYBZJ0Z9YfAg5n5SCk06uLCMTaARcbUzhoCnwYQAvD_BwE Patriot🇺🇸
  24. @Ronbrink I happen to be over at Lowe’s this afternoon and scooped up a (4) pack of these furniture sliders. My plan per your suggestion, is to install these on the 4 corners of my Truma C36 insulated cover length wise. This hopefully will make it slide easier on the bed rug then out onto the tailgate bed rug. Thanks again for the mod idea. Patriot🇺🇸 I installed the above furniture glides and they really work great. We can now slide the Truma out with out giving us immediate access without having to lift it off the bed rug. A keeper.
  25. Ron, Great idea, thanks for sharing. 👍🏻👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸
