Great report Chris. The super quiet “Truma chiller” as we now call it is a game changer full on! With the Truma being so efficient on low, I don’t think we will ever really need to run ours on med or high. I also really like the use of the original Oliver OEM condensate drain tubing which really makes for a sano install on the retro fit. Happy and cool! 😎

Chris, Let us know your findings! 😊

Happy 4th of July! 🇺🇸🇺🇸 Here on Blueberry Hill we traditionally smoke a few racks of dry rubbed ribs and then enjoy fireworks 💥 off our deck over the lake in the evening. Enjoy everyday as we are still a free country thanks to those that fought for our freedoms those that still stand for freedom! Patriot🇺🇸🇺🇸 These baby backs are just going on the Traeger for a nice long slow rolling smoke. Almost done!

No noticeable difference, but we sure are grateful for our super quiet Truma. Best mod to date.

@AlbertNTerri There maybe another member here on the fourm that has had this similar issue and maybe able to help out with some advice. Hopefully they will chime in! Also a quick call to Mike Sharpe or Jason Essary might help you with a quick solution. Patriot🇺🇸

Nice work @Wayfinder all good pointers!

Fresh wild game!

For evening supper

Go fishing in

It does not get any simpler than that video.👍🏻👍🏻 Patriot🇺🇸

Beautiful site @Katjo we love lake sites! Patriot🇺🇸

So now it..

Looking forward to

Generator roto pax security update. I added a 24” combo cable lock which secures the roto pax to the Gen handle. The cable lock is not super robust but will keep the roto pax from growing legs. The cover is secured with zip ties through the cover grommets. I added a thin piece of hard foam to prevent the roto pax from rubbing the side of the gen.

To leave again.

Awesome!!! We look forward to lots of photos! Continued safe travels! Great looking rig! Patriot🇺🇸

USAA insurance is only for military members' and veterans' direct family members. Anyone besides a current or former spouse and children will not be eligible for USAA insurance coverage.

We really like our Weber Q1200 for its portability, of our Ollies QC and ease of cleaning. The Chef Master along with our trusty all clad 12” sautée pan is great for getting a good sear on steaks, fish, or chicken. Gotta have the crunch! 👨🏼‍🍳😊 https://www.weber.com/US/en/gas/weber-q-series/weber-q-1200-gas-grill/51010001.html https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01HUOEGM6/ref=ppx_yo_dt_b_asin_title_o07_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

John, Here is a pic of an area under the belly band. If this area has a lot of old tape residue or powdery residue naturally it will need to be completely removed. If not fresh double sided tape may not work for the long haul. My SWAG is that at the plant when all the interior gelcoat is polished some powdery polish residue is not removed along this seam when the BB is installed the BB adhesive just does not adhere well long term. (Look closely at the pic you will see a powdery residue) I used rubbing alcohol to prep the area removing any polishing residue from the hull seam before adding gorilla tape and it has held up great. As @SeaDawg and others mentioned it’s all about the prep. Note - The back side of the BB chrome strip has two fairly narrow strips of what appears to be a thin and not very robust VBH tape. I don’t know of any other solution to replace factory BB. As long as mine stays put and it has so far, I plan to just leave it in place. Hope this helps, Patriot🇺🇸

@rideandfly Interesting..I had good results. Our small BB area that lifted in the corner is still holding up strong with the Gorilla glue tape has not budged. I remember that there was no old tape residue from the existing chrome band left on the hull when it separated. So I had a clean surface for the Gorilla tape to adhere to. I believe cleaning hull surface of any mold release or polish residue with alcohol allowed the Gorilla glue to adhere to both the belly band and the hull. After installing the gorilla tape under the BB then heating it up with a hair dryer to relieve a little of the tension in the bend or curve of the corner helped promote adhesion. Not the only solution but this technique worked well for me.😊

@rich.dev That’s it!

We have had USAA for 3 decades for all our ☂️insurance coverage. Yes, we have seen our rates jump without ever having filed any claims. All said it would require a deep discount for us to switch carriers only to see the slow creep price increase of signing up with a new carrier. Sure a local carrier can tailor an insurance policy to your needs but ultimately you will eventually see your costs creep up it’s economics. Not a full subscriber to just stormy weather in the south causing rate increases. New construction costs, storms, wildfires, mudslides, and floods naturally do contribute to rate increases across the board. So I believe there is a far bigger picture such as insurance companies are taking on massive losses. State Farm and Geico recently made the decision to stop doing new business in job killing California due to over regulation. Also factor in social unrest in many states with businesses being looted and eventually closing their doors. We live in interesting times. It would come as no surprise to me to see other large insurance companies walk away from other over regulated states. For times such as these! https://www.foxbusiness.com/small-business/recalifornia-killing-another-industry-families-need Patriot🇺🇸

Congrats and let the Mods begin! 😄

Our new 2020 OLE2 came with a hard copy owners manual. I do believe Oliver still provides hard copies. Patriot🇺🇸
