What voltage are you showing on the seelevel guage when not plugged in for 30 minutes? What are you showing when plugged in, on the seelevel? If plugged in and showing 13.2 to q3.6, you are charging your batteries. Unpluggrd for 30 minutes (at least), and no sun, your batteries will settle down a bit to show current state of charge. If fully charged, somewhere between 12. 7 and 13.0 should show on the seelevel after 30 minutes of no charge/ no load. Our solar has a 30 amp breaker. If that's tripped, we have no display on our bluesky monitor (also ipn pro remote). Do you have a progressive dynamics charger/inverter, or a xantrex inverter charger? The progressive dynamics units convert 110 to 12v, and charges the batteries, but does not supply 110 to outlets when not plugged in. That's an inverter function, separate from the progressive dynamics converter charger.

There are a number of great ideas in this thread about lagun tables. And various tabletops, including folding tops, and a link to @Overland's nifty mount invention, which allows you to keep the nightstand drawer. Today, I found lightweight tabletops (10 and 12 pounds) at recpro. https://www.recpro.com/reclite-ls-rv-dinette-table-38-x-30-with-optional-leg-system/ Very light for a larger size. We bought our ac from recpro, as did several others. Reliable company with good customer service, imo.

You could certainly tow it, since you're within limits with an Anderson wdh. The question is, will it be fun, and comfortable? Likely not in the mountains, or higher winds in the plains.

Good horse/utility trailers are also an option. Day in/day out, same stuff.

That's really beautiful. Love to see the changing leaves. Spring and fall are our favorite camping seasons, but they're all good. 😁

So, roughly $200 a shade?

So, I'm a few days late for "throwback Thursday. " Sunday night will have to do. Camping makes me feel younger, most of the time. Rod Stewart.

Do you know how much they are, these days? Our Minnesota friends lost a couple to their rescue dogs. I suspect a full set is pretty pricey.

I think it's called depression Oliveris Storagis. I suffered from a bit yesterday, when we talked about winterizing. We're still planning to camp another week or three. Today was flat beautiful here in WNC, which makes it even harder to put the camper up for winter..

That's a good point, @rideandfly. I know the rear window in current Elite I is a bit larger than mine, too.

A generous forum member in the Florida panhandle posted a full set for free, but you have to pick them up.

For those of you who love packing cubes, ebags has a pre-holiday sale going on, site wide 30 per cent off. I've had some of my ebags cubes for over 15 years, and still going strong. Some other brands I've bought have torn.

I also think the wraparound moisture proof mattress enclosure could be a good idea. I have a moisture proof mattress cover, but open to the bottom. If I did full enclosure, I'd want to know the mattress was totally dry. Do you have twins, or king?

I like your idea, Bill. Bringing the insulation up on the sides should help. A friend of mine uses reflectix for the side, all the way to the windows, in her Casita, and reports success with that, too. I've actually never had an issue with condensation on the bottom of the cushions. Just the sides, and side of bedding at the head. Breathing, I'm sure. And that's only in humid, warm days to cold nights kind of weather. Twice this fall mild condensation, eliminated with a paper towel. We've been in WNC pretty much since mid April. I have thought about making a "crib bumper" for late fall/winter camping, more to keep me warmer in my spot next to the hull. We have no way of heating the interstitial space between the hulls, in a 2008, without opening drawers and hatches. I drew a pattern last year, reflectix sewn to microfiber quilt, but I never got it done,velcroed around my curved side of the bed. Too busy with other projects this year. Maybe this winter. .. we'll see. This fall in wnc hasn't been that cold, nor many drastic changes, so I guess I lucked out, so far. Most nights I've been too warm, rather than too cool. @csevel the little 200w heater was probably a great idea. There are safe, explosion proof heaters made specifically for inter hull heat, called bilge heaters. We do have one, but have never used it in the Oliver, as we have rarely had electricity. Only used it on the boat.

That won't work in my community, either. But, we have independent recyclers who roam neighborhoods the night before bulk pickup days, and they love refrigerators, ac units, etc. for metal content. Depends on your community, and rules. Mine has warned us that unauthorized content, even valuable metals, can "poison" the load, and everything goes to a landfill. That would be a total bummer.

In our community, the inverter/charger would not be accepted as recycling, because it is electronics. I think I could take it to the electronics recycling center, or one of the monthly events. If it were tossed in my bin, it could spoil the whole load. We have pretty explicit rules on recyclable vs non recyclable, in the bins.

Imelda, are you home now, on a fixed 110 circuit, which most of us call shore power, or are you still running from your 2000 watt generator?

@csevel, I didn't comment, because broken screws have not been a problem for us. You might try taping blue shop towels beneath the lower window frame to see if that's the actual source of the moisture. My honest guess is, probably not, unless it's been very humid where you are. When temps go from 6os or 70s to 30s in wnc, we get some moisture on the walls, near our heads, if I forget to turn on the exhaust fan to a high enough setting.. From breathing. I wipe that off in the morning with a microfiber towel. Pull the cushions away from the hull for awhile to breathe. We've never had condensation under the cushions, and the walls are a pretty rare instance. In my older trailer, those inside screws are numerous, and they hold the inside and outside flanges together, with a clamo betwern. A few missing is fine, probably. But I'd replace them over winter, were it me. I don't know about your windows. Mine are original 2008.

At the three stripes "hamburger menu", top right, I usually click on all activity, instead of forums. This brings up most recent posts, in order, for all forums.

I do consider wine to be essential. 😁 therfore, not to be wasted cleaning the bath floor.

Don't you just love autocorrect? I need to proofread better. Windex, not wine. Lol.

We left the bath vent open when Fred swept through Western North Carolina several weeks ago. We measured a foot of rain in 24 hours. The rug in the bath got damp, not wet. Not a big deal, at all. I took the rug out and dried it in the sun after the storm, and wiped the floor with windex and a paper towel. We do have ez rain gutter on the windows. We have the same Maxx Dome vent that Oliver uses now, but never had much of an issue with the Ventline vent either, until the seal failed. That was more than 10 years in.

Thanks, @Ralph Mawyer. poor connectivity would explain why she has not come back to post.

Indeed. Honestly, if circumstances changed, we'd maybe get a campervan. Not go bigger. I haven't driven at night for many years. I'm still legal, but uncomfortable, and go slow after dark. I'll stay with the crawlover bed, tinier footprint, as long as we can. We've found we carry less, not more, the longer we camp. (Maybe experience of unloading and loading all that "stuff?) For us, it's all about the great outdoors, and a warm, dry hard- sided tent, which we have. I'm of course a bit prejudiced, as we've enjoyed the littler trailer for 14 seasons.

Sure. Why not?
