Hi, JRK I'm not sure how the Elite1 is constructed but on my Elite2 my outside shower hose will wrap around the stabilizer strut and when it does my hose only comes out part way. So maybe that's what is happening to you. I put a couple strips of duct tape on the strut and frame under the bed access panel to prevent the hose from popping up and wrapping around the strut. It is a little too short anyway, I agree. Sorry to hear of all your issues. Best of luck, John

5.3 with 3.42 on a 2019 LTZ 2wd that we got new in 2020 with 22 miles on it. We did extend the warranty to 100,000 and are looking to extend past that. Over 90,000 miles at the moment and are in Glacier NP now. No problems in the mountains and have been through Wolf Creek pass at 10,800 feet. Of course 40 mph up and 30 mph down in 3rd and 2nd gear, 3500-3800 rpm. Next truck will probably be a 3/4 ton as we are at 6800 lbs on the truck and 6800 lbs on the trailer (full timers). Andersen wdh and added air bags for us. Best of luck, John

Thanks, John, for all your help and hard work on your library of wonderful illustrations that helped me tremendously! Wishing you the very best

No difference on our retrofit. Jason E from OTT said that most people can't tell a difference between those speeds. John

Thanks much, Dave and Bill Curious... what are all those drilled holes around the perimeter?

We had the same issue and under warranty OTT fixed the problem last year but we are now experienced the same problem. I'm curious, does anyone have a picture of what the shell looks like under the chrome band...maybe another solution can be realized with replacing the chrome strip with something else. John

So sorry to hear of this. Hope you are all ok. Sounds like you have a good insurance company. Do you mind revealing which insurance company? Looks like your truck held up. Thank you for sharing, John

Congratulations!!!!!!!!! Enjoy the ride :) Bill, I like that pin from TS...will be getting one soon.

Wonderful times...glad to see everyone in jackets and sweaters. It's a little different here in Las Vegas, but we'll be headed to the mountains tomorrow. Good to see CGI make it :) Hope to crash a regional rally soon. John

After purchasing, they gave us a membership number via email and the campground accepted it. We'll just pickup the hard card when we get back in November. Thanks for the help John

For those of you who are Passport America members, do I have to have the membership card when checking into a campground or can I sign up for Passport America before I show up at the campground and give them proof of membership purchase. It's difficult to receive our mail as we are full timers..always on the move. TIA, John

Nice website :)

Amen, Bill :)

Looking good!! Sorry for the installation disruption last night, and thank you for your input on MASA. John

After 1 1/2 years of checking the basement every time Wen washes sheets, I finally found an issue. The screw holding the clamp around the city water inlet had broken away from the mounting pad. 2 connectors were loose. No water had leaked as far as I could tell. I check everything I can when having access to the basement. We've had a few rough bounces this year :) John

BTW, our reserved spot...A14...is under major construction so we were able to spend 2 nights on C58 and will move to E37, on Sunday, for 7 nights. Yay! Next to the lake :) John

We have been there a few times have ALWAYS had a wonderful time. Melissa will not disappoint! Her choices of food/snacks are so delicious. We have not seen the new kitchen but understand her new baker does a superb job. If you are a dog lover, be sure to ask to see her dogs....they will love on you until you tear up...guaranteed! John

My rear window is as described by Chris and was pretty straight forward as he shows in the video. My side windows are not. The slotted rubber piece on each side have a felt rubbing strip on either side of the channel and prevent the rubber piece from being extracted, unless you use quite a bit of force. The felt strips are an H shape and fit over the edge of the rubber strip. I'm not sure if the pictures are of any help. I quit as RoadKingsofGa did and am unable to fit the H shape of the felt strip back over it edges. So I quit at that point and finished cleaning as best I could. I don't think it matters much if I don't get the felt strip back perfectly as the window still slides smoothly and none of the weep holes are blocked. I'll search out the window experts at the rally. BTW, there are 2 of those felt strips, 1either side of the rubber strip. I did not attempt removal of the outboard strip. John

Chris My trailer is 16 months old and I have never done this....big mistake! My weather stripping (white), on the underside, is mildewed beyond repair. I wouldn't be surprised if the black streaks that appear below the window are from my neglect. I would never have known to go this in-depth had I not watched your video. Thank you, thank you, thank you :) I thought I was done with the cleaning until I found your video. I have noted some owners have replaced the weather strip with a black one. Can anyone chime in where you can get it? Hope to se ya'll at the rally :) John

Congratulations!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Mossey, ours also looked better than the day we picked it up :)

We had ours done last June...nice to get rid of the wax :) CGI did a wonderful job! John

Actually...I googled and you are absolutely right on!

I learned today that ya'll are birders, but moth-ers 2? Sorry, I couldn't resist :)

A bit off topic...I was inspecting OTT's repair when we got back to spot 2 and ventured across this moth resting on the back of our trailer. Beautiful! Have not seen one of these before. It could be OTT's mascot :) Color coordinated even. John
