Nan, if freezer is frozen, fridge is probably actually working fine. In Florida, summer, I'd stick some frozen water gallons in the fridge compartment when we had a 3 way. At close to 100 degrees, your empty 3way could take well over 24 hours to come to temp, if it ever does. Some "cold sink" could help, ie frozen water gallons. You might try opening the grate at the top (outside) to increase airflow. It's tough to exhaust heat to high ambient heat. If you're leaving tomorrow, it's a waste. Load it and go, cold non perishables. Traveling down the road will increase airflow, as well. Get groceries in Apex.

Truma furnace, or water heater? I'm guessing furnace. Check to make sure air intake is not impaired/blocked .

Check the bpr site for closures and detours. Driving even parts of the bpr, and Shenandoah, is an amazing experience. We've driven both a number of times, and always enjoyed it. We like the "slow pace." Thanks to someone who brought up my 2008 post. We were on the bpr this spring, again, near Asheville.

Mineral oil. Wd40. Orange goof off. Whatever is in the cabinet. Original goof off is probably the least "work."

I just spent the weekend in Iowa and Minnesota. My cousin's son picked me up at the airport, and drove us around Des Moines area (freeway/county paved/ gravel combos) in a late model gmc sierra 2500 duramax. Ride in the back seat was absolutely comfy. Great seats, great ride. It's a long ways down for my short legs from the cab. Grateful for grab handles and smurf steps/bars. Great truck. And beautiful. Not for me, as I don't need it, with a shorty elite I, but a very comfy/lux ride, all around.

The key.

I'd use blue. But it's up to you Red is quite difficult to remove, when you have the need

I can sticky it. But honestly, ours failed six years ago, pulled it,,looked at it, and got a replacement at a local store. One of the few spares we carry. It's a pita,to raise/lower the front jack manually. Of course, since we carry a spare, we've not had a failure since. Usual culprit us our front jack connection. Gets more weather.

Practical Sailor is my favorite site for info on waxes, lubes, adhesives, etc etc etc. The consumer reports of the fiberglass works. Many tests. No kickbacks. We own a boat, on wheels, imo

If you're not using bolts, washers, and nuts, maybe try petmatex blue/medium strength. It's supposed to bond to plastics , ie frp, ie, fiberglass.

A very good question.

I use blue, ordinarily. Red is quite permanent. Blue generally does the job, but you can still remove the fastener, if necessary. But, Loctite is def your friend.

@FLYnGATOR, looks like you may have accidentally locked the topic, so no replies. I unlocked it for you.

Remote compressor is quite usual in boat installations. Could be an interesting option. As you indicated, requiring some skills. Lots if boat owners upgrade ice boxes or cold plate fridges with remote compressors .

Looks great! Glad you left room for ventilation, top and bottom. We just used wood blocks tabbed in with epoxy. The novakool is a great fridge. Too big to get through the narrow space between the microwave/fridge compartment and the shower wall in our older elite. You'll love it, I'm sure. Same bd35 compressor as all our indel b fridges, but you get a bigger capacity, and bigger freezer compartment. Nice work!

I power my ev on sunlight. We rarely take it out of the county, but plenty of chargers for road trips, when we do. Not suitable for a tow vehicle, imo. Though others have the patience to do so. I don't. I think regulations have run ahead of the curve. Only tesla has really invested the big bucks in cross country charging stations, with quick charging capabilities. I can charge just about anywhere, depending on how long I want to sit idle. We're never going back to muscle cars, belching diesels, or low mpg/high emissions gassers,,so eventually, we'll have to figure it out. EVs, today, are best for local commuting, short runs, local deliveries . Which, honestly, is a high per centage of total miles driven for most .

I get that. I love my 2005 Silverado, and I'll literally drive it til it won't "drive no more." Paid for decades ago, simple maintenance. We will, unfortunately, have to adapt. We already see the problems with hybrids, and "eco" gasser engines. My 7 year old tesla x jas had a maintenance bill of 4 tires, two wipers, and a 12v battery. I'd say 1500 to 2000, over 7 years. No oil changes,etc. You'd have had the same bills, for any gasser, plus plus. That said, I'd never likely try to tow with the x. The cyber truck, as cool as it is, is too big for me. Too big for spaces at the grocery store and costco, imo. Way too big for my allotted garage space. Maybe they'll make a cyber mini someday. Then I might be in the market. If it has a bigger battety, and can still tow my power boat, and the Ollie. We don't buy anything that can't tow 5000 pounds, at least. Also, need plenty of space in the back seat, for grandkids. 😄

A gfci that won't reset is either bad, or is getting no power. If you're getting power, no tripped breaker, no loose connections at the gfci, replace the gfci. They usually go at a very inconvenient time. Part of their DNA, I guess

Your Ford f350 probably weighs in excess of 6k, unloaded. My old Silverado does, as well.

I'd open a ticket with Oliver. Our 2008 has nothing like that, and it is not garaged.

Congrats from #12. 2008 Elite. Wishing you many miles of smiles.

Here you go, Claudia:

Hard to believe no parts available for a fridge that's barely over two years old. Have you heard that from Thetford/Norcold?

@CRM, I do this with my mom's smart TV, as she is visually impaired, and can't see videos and photos on my phone screen, or even a laptop. Have you tried a different adaptor and cable? (I'm sure you have set the input for the TV on the proper hdmi input, right?) We had an issue on one Alaska delivery trip with an odd brand TV. We stopped at a best buy in Canada, and bought a different cable and adaptor, and finally had success. Some devices just don't play well with each other, apparently. Try doing all the connections first, then turn on the TV, then switch thru inputs til you see your phone screen before you start the playback, maybe. Give the devices time to "boot up" and shake hands.

I got this email today. Maybe I'll try driving one. Probably a waste of time, though. I've seen several lately, and way too big for me.
