I get it. I grew up on a farm Baling wire had many uses. Chewing gum has, however, been replaced by duct tape 🤣🤣 Rebooting is still very useful.

You have lt tires. I have st tires. You can back off pressure at a gas station with an air pump, yourself. Or, get a tire pressure guage. You should carry one, anyway.

Check before you go to a walmart. My local Walmart doesn't service trailers, unless I remove the wheels and tires and bring them in, which I do on the boat trailer. Not the Oliver. I take my trailer to a local independent. Do you have a tire pressure guage?

We run ours around 60 psi. We have a different tire than yours. But, you could easily back off to 70 psi, and see if the ride improves. You'll know, when less stuff is jumbled after a day's drive.

Just hang it up over the top rail for privacy. You'll have a small gap at the bottom, but it will be fine til you get some sleep, and patience. Your tire pressure is at max, which is not necessary, imo.

I've been subscribed to Will's channel for a long time. And, occasionally drop into his forum. He's so darn smart. And genuine.

Read the other thread I split, please. I know you are tired, and patience is probably slim, but it's usually an easy minutes job to put the shade back up..

And, ps, congratulations on your first few days of towing. Well done.

First pic, drop-down cable can be reattached with glue. I don't even have one. Second, shade frame attaches to those clips you see all around. Receiver portion is inside the frame.. line them up, top first,, and they pop into place, with a light tap with the palm of your hand. If you are tired from driving, just line it up, hang it up, and deal with it tomorrow . A couple of my shades have fallen off on curvy roads, over the years. Neither situation requires a return trip to the mothership. Just a little patience. On fridge, do you have electric at your site?

I think that shield is specifically for the Dometic rm2454? I don't believe Oliver installs that fridge anymore. Perhaps he's devised one for the new Norcold models now in use?

I see casita and scamp scams all the time, and report them. Good for you , reporting them, Nan! Sherry

Yes, it is a serious number. Especially with our small trailers, and 2 batteries. Solar helps, but in crummy weather, or shade, you have to plan for that loss.

I see. Since your code 10 was "not working on 110," the tech had you reset breakers. Logical. Not sure, since you lost the call, if you actually reset the breaker to the fridge or not. If you are plugged in, and 110 appliances (microwave, portable heater), etc, are working, and breakers have been reset, properly, I also would have suggested looking for the pigtail plugged into the 110 outlet, as the Oliver tech did. In my trailer, it's just removing a drawer. In yours, it sounds like an access panel. Sorry for that. Sounds to me like he followed a logical process. (Well, my process, anyway) 3 way fridges aren't like home fridges. They work on an absorption theory, instead of a compressor, like a home fridge. It's an old process, but unfamiliar to those who haven't used the technology. Glad you're working ok on battery. Propane is more efficient. If you get the code 10 at the next campsite, try the propane instead of dc. It cools far better. Until you get it sorted out. With our much older Norcold, there was a complicated reset if resetting the breaker, or removing all power for a time, didn't do the trick. Not something to do at the end of a day's drive. I don't know about your specific model, but, since it's norcold, may be the same/similar. While driving, I'd turn the unit to "off", rather than electric or auto, if you're not comfortable driving on propane. Auto on some norcold fridges sends you to dc, and that can drain your batteries in the trailer. At least it did on ours, when we had a 3 way Norcold. The fridge is power hungry on dc/battery. We're one of those who drive with the fridge on propane (age old debate). Not everyone is comfortable with driving with the fridge on propane. Just turn the fridge to "off," if not. Unless you're in extreme heat, a few hours in off with a loaded fridge is usually fine.

Did you drive all day with the fridge set to electric instead of set to off or propane? That would probably trigger the code. Try turning the fridge off for awhile, then try running it on propane. Are you plugged into 110 now? Is 110 working elsewhere in the trailer? (Like, does your little electric heater work?)

I believe the kitchen is the same depth in the two models, but the Elite kitchen is not as wide, so I doubt the drawer dimensions are all the same. The older Elite 1 models, with the furnace in the kitchen, have an even different configuration. So, measuring mine wouldn't help you at all.

Some of the links don't work from old forum versions. If the 2008 thread is what you're looking for, this is it:

That looks like a great spot. Enjoy! Are all the lakeside spots no hookups?

We collect our own water from rainwater, at home. We power our home (and boat, and trailer) with solar . Not enforceable, but not for amusement. Just always trying to maintain conservation values. 🙂 Even though we do, indeed, use more water at home. And, of course, more electricity. Our house is a bit bigger than our little Elite I trailer. 🙃

I know, unlikely we'd ever do an endless shower. Even at home, I set a timer.

We've only hooked up to city water a handful of times in 13 years. We fill the tank, and work from that. We recently bought a regulator, similar to the one franc posted. Thinking/hoping we will get to travel more, if we land at a full size hookup someday, might even be able to check out that "endless shower" with our instantaneous water heater.

I just looked at your forecast. There is a travel advisory for Monday. I'd just stay put, if I were you. Call Oliver on Monday morning. I know you're running out of data, so I'll text you.

We travel with a tiny dog, and no bikes. Just happy to see that you're flexible, for a little dog. Our dog is an international traveler. And, a total princess 👸

I would plug in, if possible. Agm batteries do not love living below full charge. Once you have a full charge, 13.2 ish, they'll be fine. I would look for ghost draws. We narrowed ourselves from over 1 amp to .4

BoB, from what you have said, I agree. If I were Sheri, I would drive in in Monday, and get a better connection . From what I see, from the photos, the disconnect "would" probably work. I don't like it either, but it should work in an emergency. I'd want to get it replaced

So, if you hook up, think you're good, pull ahead 20 feet, and check. You'll see. If you're on the ball, all is tight. I wish I were there to see, but the only way you can engage the collar lock is if you are TOTALLY missing the ball connection.
