Looking again at my 2022 brochure I see that it shows a picture of the Bright Way batteries so I reckon all is ok. Except, since they are not actually AGM, is the "AGM" setting on my solar controller ok? There is also a "gel" setting at a slightly reduced voltage setting. 14.4 vs 14.1 John

Thanks, Bill. I specified AGM, and indeed my build sheet indicates AGM, but got these sealed lead acid batteries instead. Guess I'll contact OTT about this tomorrow. John

My 2022 Elite II came with 4 Bright Way Group 6V 220 AH Deep Cycle Sealed Lead Acid batteries. I thought I was getting AGM batteries. Is there a difference between Sealed Lead Acid batteries and AGM? John

Well said, SeaDawg!!! 🙂

OMGoodness. After reading this thread I decided to get up on the roof, remove the A/C cover, and gaze at the many ways a bird, or mud-dauber, or frog, or whatever, could end up under the cover. I'll be busy screening today! John

Hi Frank-n-Val, I see you have a 2022 model as well, I wonder if previous years had issues with this as well. We're hull 996 🙂 We'll get it figured out! John

Thanks, all for the responses. I did submit a ticket and also asked about jb weld and contact cement. The glue/epoxy is still firmly attached to the fiberglass but the aluminum had none on it. John

It turns out that a part fell off the propane tank cover. Any ideas on what to use to reattach it? Thanks ya'll John

Oops, forgot you were headed to the keys. Have fun! John

Hi Ed and Nancy, We had 1 bad stem as well and got a pack of 4 at local auto store. Sorry to hear about your truck. Did you make it back before the storm hit? Believe it or not, it is 18 degrees here in sunny, SC by the lake ....grrrr! Was great meeting up with you at the mother ship 🙂 Btw I finally realized we had our back up camera set up to view a reverse picture, so images were displayed backwards.. probably the reason for having difficulty backing into our spot at the mother ship. At least that's the story I'm going with 🙂 John

Us too 🙂

Thanks for the heads-up on the mosquitoes 🙂

Actually I did send pictures to OTT they confirmed warranty problems if I covered up the gaps. I have a call into Norcold/Thetford and expect to hear back from them. Will post what they say.

I don't know either. I've contacted Norcold/Thetford and hope to hear back from them soon. Will post what I find out. John

Probably why my alarms went off! Thanks, John

Thanks, I contacted OTT and was told to not cover the openings. It will void the warranty. Here are some pictures. John

Hello all, The Norcold fridge in my 2022 Elite II leaks air inside the trailer cabin. The very cold winds are blowing directly into the vents from the outside and into the cabin. It seems to be coming in from between the fridge frame and the fiberglass enclosure on the inside of the trailer. Is this a common problem? The volume of air is not horrible but is very noticeable when walking by, especially at 18 Degrees F. I see a gap between insulation pads when I take off the cover, 1/2 to 3/4 of an inch, but Jason E. says that is by design and must not be taped over. Any suggestions? I may run a bead of silicone around the frame. John

John, Mine are plumbed together, which I like. I think my differences in pressure are mainly caused by ambient temperatures and not really a leak. I just top them off to 15 to 20 psi when the temps are low and leave them alone when the temps go up. I did soap them when I first installed them. Guess it wouldn't hurt to soap again. 5 psi is the lowest they should ever be and my "good spot" is 17psi, level truck. I don't adjust if or not I am hooked up. The Andersen does a good job for us. I poorly worded my earlier post, I believe there are no leaks, but it sure wouldn't hurt to soap again to be sure. You are correct in that 0 pressure trashes the bags. Thanks, John

Charlie, I have them too, without the onboard compressor. Mine hold pressure for 3 or so weeks at a time, bleed from 20 to 10 psi in that time frame. Mine are double convoluted and I use a battery operated hand compressor. So far, very happy with them. They weren't that hard to install. John

Congrats from #996. We high tailed it to Tunica, MS but the weather followed us 🙂 John

Thanks, Jim and Frances, Did you attempt to make any? John

Thanks, Sooner. I'm experimenting with solutions. I did burn through 1 tank but very little on the second tank since swap-out. I'm using the space heater more and lowering the thermostat a few degrees. John

Thanks, Steve. Thankfully just routine appts 🙂 John

Thanks, Bill. I'll have to soap everything to see if I have a leak anywhere. John

Hello all, I posted earlier that my propane tank did not last long after pickup from oliver. We have the additional propane hookup, so we have 2. I've not used them yet and after inspecting them I see what looks like a swivel shutoff valve. Both are inline with the supply tubing. Is that a shutoff position or do I need to rotate it to be perpendicular with the supply tube? John
