Elite I bed across the back and adding some color
SeaDawg replied to Ron and Phyllis's topic in Ollie Modifications
I would, for sure. A slim piece of marine plywood, solid hardwood or starboard, epoxied behind the inner hull . The table will add stress, loaded Haven't done this mod, but I'm always about overkill -
I actually have a 70s lava lamp in one of the guest bedrooms. No shag carpet, though. Lol

New Mexico State Parks - Fee increase
SeaDawg replied to Mountainman198's topic in Campgrounds & Parks
State parks are primarily supported by state taxes. I have no problem paying extra to camp in state parks outside my state. Prime camping season in my state is winter. Out of states book it up, routinely. Makes it harder for families to book sites in season. I totally support additional fees for out of state. I've never complained in the states that charge me extra. I get it. -
Steve and Deb Try to Stay Warm - January 15 - February ?
SeaDawg replied to Steve Morris's topic in General Discussion
Where are you leaving your trailer during your cruise? We get this question every year. -
Some condos in Florida no longer allow eves in parking areas, because of the fire risk if submerged in saltwater. Most lifepo4 batteries are light enough to remove. And take home, if necessary . Interestingly, many new boats in Florida (which live in saltwater) are equipped with lithium batteries, but waterproof... like ours.

I hope you are plugged in to shore power, if you are running on dc. F on a dometic means failure to light. Could have been an air bubble. Or many other issues... You won't "hear" much if you're running on dc. Or ac. Pretty much have to put your ear to the door , and you'll only hear something when the compressor is running. Not nearly as much heat exhausted at the vent, because you don't have flame, and all that heat.

@Geronimo John you will love it, I'm sure I

Changing settings on the blue sky controller is a bit tedious, but not that hard. (Old school dip switches. No blue tooth,etc. ) Send the amazing customer support guy at Blue Sky (Ryan) an email, with your phone number and email, and all equipment info,and he will likely be able to walk you through everything you need to do on the blue sky end.

All the pd manuals are available online. https://www.progressivedyn.com/support-manuals-troubleshooting-guides/ If your unit that you bought used is suspect, and Amazon, start the return process, and just buy a new one. They're not that expensive, and you will have full support from progressive dynamics. Even though you bought it elsewhere, they are likely to help. Have model and serial # ready, and call their tech support. Best of luck.

@DavidK truma will not usually install nor warranty a unit bought on ebay, or from anyone else but truma. Hull #26 would indicate an elite 1, which truma told me years ago they would retrofit. With their equipment, at their shop. In the early elites, it's a pretty easy swap. We have no ducting, so no retrofitting there, like early elite 2's . Good luck.

Nice. During tick season, no one "re-wears" Outside of that, early spring/late fall/winter, in the east, that would work. Looks great.

Our 2008 controllers are under the rear dinette seat. Very tight, but workable. I agree.

You could do a John deere wrap on any pickup, if that's your thing. It's an internet creation. Sadly.

Perhaps not all locations in the US are covered by dealers. It's a work in progress, I'm sure.

We've been very happy with the replacement. We bedded it with butyl tape , and "built up" the low areas. Quiet, effective, love the night. It is more difficult to raise than the old ventline, but a) it doesn't leak, b) love, live love the overhead light, and c) it doesn't open underway. In all fairness, we never had an issue with rhe old vent line opening underway, either. Also love the serviceability. Fuse is easily accessible, unlike the ventline. We installed per instructions, 4 years ago, with the possible exception of using our go-to butyl tape instead of sealant/caulk .

Have you tried reducing the flow with the button on the handle? The "triple valve" ?

Many people use the lock n lube. I'm sure you are looking forward to picking up your new Ollie soon. Congratulations. I'm sure you'll get comments on the gun from others who've used it.

We've found the white marine tex is "close enough" in inobtrusive spots.

My husband likes the 460 on the sailboat. One set of connections. One battery to worry about. Me, I'd like a pair of 300s. One goes south, I have a spare. I'm old school. I like a spare.

Isotherm refrigerator storage
SeaDawg replied to BlueHighways's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Our door can be open a "crack" without the light being on. Clean it, dry it out, and that crack is plenty. I put a dish towel between door and frame, and a weight against the door to keep it from being opened accidentally. I use a spare bottle of rv antifreeze as a weight.
