Btw, do you have a dog with you?

If yours in the same spot as ours (under the small dinette), fumes can get trapped and linger. You could try running a fan, on exhaust, under the table before bedtime, not all night.. You could also try vacuuming the face, or cleaning the face with a damp (not wet) corner of a microfiber (not cotton) towel, and thoroughly drying it. (While you're at it, wipe down the area under the table.) Then the fan, on exhaust, for an hour or two. Do run the exhaust fan in the bathroom for night time visits. Your newish propane detector shouldn't be doing this, but, it has happened. Could be defective. If simple measures don't give relief, open a service ticket.

Unfortunately, not everyone has the skills and tools to do that. Glad for you that you can.

Yes, it is classified as type a. Proprietary fittings and tool. Pex plumbing is very common up north, but not so common in the south. We had to get the county to recognize newer code to use it in the fire suppression system. It was an interesting experience. We wanted the continuous rums, since we planned a manifold system. Limited number of qualified plumbersxtobwork with. My husband actually designed and built the manifold. It's worked very well for us, along with our Phyn leak detection system.

When we built our house,,8 years ago, I specified uponor pex and their 25 year guarantee expansion fittings. Normal pex a expansion fittings can have a failure near heat. We've used shark bites, and other push to connect, in our barn, and our house. They're easy, don't require extensive tool kit, and great for simple repairs. Expensive fittings, but way cheaper than a plumber, or rv tech

Your new Elite is light years beyond our 2008,,though it has many updates. Hope we'll meet up someday, to compare m. Thanks for the insights.

A "no cook" thing I often do. I buy little bags of avocados at Costco, lidl, or aldi. Homemade guacamole, or smashed avocado dip. Cut the avocado around the meridian. Slice halves with a little knife six times each way. Scoop onto a bowl with a spoon. (Best stuff is closest to the skin.) I add finely chopped onion and jalape, a bit of lemon juice, a splash of hot sauce. Mash with a fork My healthy (😍) late night snack, with gluten free seedel chips.

+1 on pinesol odor. Noxious, to me. Back in March 1, 2020, height of covid beginning, I had a house full of guests,,flying and driving back to Minnesota. I sent hand sanitizers,,clorox wipes, lysol spray, etc., with everyone. Come March 3, nothing anti microbial available but pinesol. It does kill covid, given an extraordinary period of time, but, omg, the stench. ABSOLUTELY last resort, in my little trailer. And, worthless, if it doesn't sit for an extended period of time.

Everything made of plastic (petroleum) has become more expensive. Little pvc fittings are two or three times the price of a few years ago . It's kind of astounding to shop the plumbing fittings aisle, honestly.

Bleach is for sanitizing, only, and often corrosive to seals. I prefer the calgon /detergent method, personally. Calgon can be hard to find. If we can't find it, I mix borax in hot water.

If we got ourselves into that crazy situation, I'd "probably " attach our chains to the tow,strap clip. Every situation is different. A number if years ago, we got ourselves into a sticky wicket in New Hampshire. We attached , disengagaged, and reattached several times to get a better angle, with our 4x4 dodge. I'd try that first, vs tow strap, or winch cable, or combo, imo. If you do decide on a tow strap route, please make sure the tow strap is fairly new, and rated for the job. We've broken a few, over the years, that were older. The snap back could be lethal. Got a big hole in the tailgate of our dodge ram from inadequate/aged strap, trying to haul a tree out of the road. Had anyone been in the trajectory, it could have been deadly. Everyone was in the truck. Out of the way. We are very careful about that, tow strap or winch cable. Please do the same.

@Rolind, victron customer service is really good. I'd call them.

No shame in that. A lot of folks in your quarter. As Steve said,,share bites are ridiculously expensive, as well. We replace only what has failed. And, that's not much, over 16 seasons.

Yes. Those corrugated "reinforced" hoses only last so long. Hill #12,,2008, 3rd (maybe 4th) set of hoses. Highly recommend Rhino.

Hard to tell, but the double latching doors make it appear so. Could just be metal siding. Most cargo doors on cargo trailers open full width. Metal siding is very popular with tiny homes, fron what I've seen. We looked into cargo containers as tiny homes on our property for guests. We've always found it "easier" to work with wood framing, or sips. Great site they found! Awesome views.

Because of the relatively small size of the black tank, folks are often hesitant to add enough "liquid ". Can't say if this is true for your use. (Ie, guys always peeing in the woods, etc.) If a user reserves the black tank only for the black, well, they just may not get enough liquid in there, with a light foot on the pedal. we all figure it out, eventually. There's a balance. Truth is for us, dump when grey is close to full, dump black first, rinse as available. Some dump stations don't have a hose fitting for rinsing, as they're vault systems. Stick a hose through the bath window and add water if black isn't full. (You can see, if toilet valve us open. Turn off pump, so you dont drain freshwater.) And please, dont use freshwater fill for your toilet rinse or through the window, if there is one at the dump station. Just restrict yourself to the nonpotable hose.

@Cameron, I have both. "Composting" in the barn, and traditional in the Ollie. Perfectly happy, 16 seasons in, with the traditional dump system in our Ollie. Not very happy with the composter/dry toilet, in the barn. Pick your poison, imo. No poop pyramids in decades of ownership. Plenty of liquids in. Rinse within reason. Some campground dump stations are vault, vs septic.

That's a huge, (though small) home size freezer, 140 to 150 liters, 5 cubic feet. That's the size of an Ollie fridge. You may have to look at multiple smaller danfoss/secop freezer units. Or, convert your existing fridge to a freezer (multiple secop/ danfoss units available) and use a portable unit, instead, for refrigeration. Virtually NOTHING that i know of, 5 cubic ft will fit thru the door, AND fit under the dinette table. Look around, and you'll see. Multiple units can. But, added amp hours. Are you full timing? Do you actually "need" to carry that much frozen product? Ps, I fixed some of your typos, since your edit time as a new member us limited. You're welcome.

Do you have room to bump out the garage a few feet in back? https://www.exteriorrenovations.com/2020/03/17/garage-renovation-bump-out/ This one is actually rather attractive with the saddle roof.

You do have to be careful of mechanical fasteners in plastic board. Some are better than others. Using an unknown plastic cutting board leaves some options open. Check, and recheck. Many of the plastics don't accept mechanical fasteners well, and look to chemical fasteners, as well. Keep an eye out, and be well.

Wife of engineer, "apprentice" of many decades, totally gets it.

Do use the saran wrap. It will smooth the edges. That's all you are really needing in a hidden locations. Best of luck. We love our Eite I , 2008.

Too late now, but heat may have helped. Could have been epoxy, could have been a 3m product. You can "seal" that raw opening area with gelcoat (Ask over for the color number), or just use marine tex. It won't be a super close match, but it's under cushions anyway. Get the bright white if you go marine tex route. Use saran wrap to cover after application. Look up some youtubes. Lots of good ones out there. At the very least, cover with an adhesive patch, or even white duct tape, to keep moisture out, and save friction on the cushions.

We changed from a suburban 6 gallon to a girard instantaneous. It required changing the door, as vent(s) are in a different place. 6 gallons take up a bit more space than the Truma or girard. When / If anything happens to our girard, we're going back to a standard 6 gallon .

Campfire breakfast is always great. As is the company. Time for campfire pizzas.
