That was my concern. Kind of looked like rub marks, but difficult to impossible to tell from the photos.

Thanks. I just clicked on "read online," and read it all. I'm impressed.

Very funny.. Eventually, there will be. Electric motors and direct drive more resemble vin diesel. Just have to figure it all out. Newer lighter battery technology is undoubtedly coming, with more readily available components. Pretty sure Ford dropped the 350/450 ev exploration for the time being, as the Lightning has sold so well, and is so powerful. The 350/450 are work trucks. Got to have range, and capability. Frankly, I too would likely wait for newer lighter, more eco-friendly battery development. Or, look at the tech used for a long time for diesel- electric locomotives and ships. For me, I'd want pure electric. I don't really love the idea of hybrid, two systems to maintain. Personal opinion.

I can't seem to open that page, but I'd love to read it.

You can sign up, but it doesn't mean you'll get a dish and access anytime soon. I have been signed up for over a year, for our camping propertyin NC. Probably too close to a metro area. Deposit is refundable. Eventually, we'll all get it. But, it will be awhile. Sign up, and when you get a product and service from Tesla, are two very different things, in my experience. We waited over a year and a half for our tesla powerwalls. I'll be patient on starlink. We have few options up there. Mostly Verizon phone, as a hotspot. Still waiting on my cybertruck, not even counting the years, anymore. Is what it is.

Nice how you can angle the panels with the bed cover when you're parked.

Indeed, I think it is part of the plan, for several reasons. Many rural and remote areas really need starlink, and most urban areas already have decent high speed internet availability. Also, it's easier to provide good latency time and up/down speeds with a half million users scattered across 29 countries in remote areas, than to clog it up with a few concentrations of power users in urban areas. Musk has talked about the challenges of managing urban areas in the future, actually. The pricing is also more attractive for users in remote, under- or unserved areas. My high speed internet in an urban area is far less than starlink, for example, at $65 vs. $99 or $110.

I've read that rv designated units use a more sensitive reading than home units, as, at home, you have much more dispersement space available. ( my bedroom closet is bigger than my Ollie, honestly) I would not personally depend solely on a home battery unit for co detection, but that's not John's suggestion either, as I read it. I think it is his 3rd backup.

Could you share a link? Thanks.

It's already happened with model x suvs towing trailers, though not ten stalls. Some of the newer Tesla charging stations have spots for vehicle plus trailer, but neither in my county are set up that way. Otherwise, trailer has to be dropped, and reconnected. Another time consuming operation. All the stations in my county are busy, except at odd times. Evs have been quite well received, here. Both superchargers are at WAWA stations. Always busy, when we've been there. Things will change. They always do. Towing, without adequate battery capacity, will remain an issue, until things develop and change. My great grandfather had one of the first "horseless carriages" in his county. In spring rain mud, he had to use the farm horses to drag the motorcar out the long muddy drive. Still drove it to town, though. Stubborn pioneer spirit, I guess. And wanted a better life for his family. We'll get there, eventually, with compromises, and research and development. That said, my gasser Silverado is soon celebrating birthday 17. They'll be around awhile.

The recipe reads pretty well. I would do it all in one pot. Cook the chicken first, set aside. Saute veggies. Use no salt added rotel for the tomatoes. I might add a little can of hatch chiles. No need to rinse the beans if you use low sodium. I like to add mrs dash Chipotle for a bit of smoky flavor. I don't love cumin, so I often omit it. I love chili recipes. Thanks.

Prices just went up, too. https://www.cnbc.com/2022/03/23/spacex-raises-prices-for-launches-and-starlink-due-to-inflation.html

I'm so happy for you , Nan.

Tst recommended them when we bought ours, over a decade ago . We installed metal stems. No issues. If you continue with original rubber stems, just check regularly. I think it's a personal choice. Weigh the weighted sensors, vs stems, vs camping habitat and roads .

Also, you may want to open a service ticket.

Same with our locks at home, though they give a beep sequence, and a light, when battery is starting to get low. We get 3 or 4 more uses before it can't get enough power to throw.

Does this happen if you use the "stay logged in" choice?

What I've read, so far, is they can "shoot" the spores and clinging tar up to 20 ft or more. Yikes. Hence, the artillery name. Good to note,, for everyone. Our trailer is parked on turf blocks and shell. Any mulch in our yard is cypress, and some distance from the trailer. This is super sad. Several posters in articles I read said to work away from home or away from mulch beds. This looks like a major pita. Not common here in sw Florida, probably because heat and sun kills the fungus that generates the spore pellets. Like I said, I have no prior knowledge or experience with this issue. Common mildew is easy , relatively, to remove. This crap can live on in the pores,,from what I've read, and bloom again. One guy said it lives on even old wax. Yikes.

We've had this issue before. Usually with Apple devices. @Rivernerd, are you using a vpn?

Looks like the sun is shining on those spots in the photos. Could you add a few more, when the sun is lower in the sky? What products have you been using, and how frequently? Where in the country are you, and do you use a cover? Stored inside or outside? I'm sorry for your problem. Maybe some more info can help.

A few threads I've read: https://rayhaluchinc.com/getting-rid-of-artillery-fungus/ https://www.practical-sailor.com/blog/homemade-mildew-preventers-that-really-work https://www.practical-sailor.com/boat-maintenance/mildew-treatments-and-stain-removers https://www.cruisersforum.com/forums/f55/black-spots-all-over-boat-in-marina-do-i-have-any-recourse-how-to-clean-207745-3.html https://www.thehulltruth.com/northeast/97554-artillery-fungus.html https://continuouswave.com/ubb/Forum3/HTML/014222.html https://www.fiberglassrv.com/forums/f51/artillery-fungus-spots-48728.html Note: my trusted source, practical sailor, revealed no specific instructions for artillery fungus. Unfortunately.

These guys have detailed and coated several Olivers, including scubarx"s #50, so we have a bit of history. We do not allow spam posts, as you all know, and diligently work to remove and prevent them. For me, I'm not sure I'd spend the money for 24 months' protection, but that's up to the individual. I have no idea what mobile detailing charges for twice yearly waxing. This may be very competitive. Idk. There's a lot of work that goes into prep. I know that for sure. My neighbor had his boat ceramic coated, and the prep took far longer than the coating.

If these are artillery spores, which I'd frankly never heard of til your thread, you're in for a lot of work. And, I'm sorry. I've looked at literally a dozen websites, and all of them note that they're really tough to remove, especially if they've been allowed to remain a long time. A few more home remedies to soften or remove the casings mentioned are cheap mouthwash (especially mint), murphys oil soap, Mr clean sponges, cooking oil, or dollar store awesome cleaner. (I think awesome is a bit aggressive, especially if not reduced.) Some people found success with borax, or tsp, solution in hot water, which may actually kill the tiny spores left behind in the pores. (Caustic solutions. ) general conclusion is bleach solutions only remove stain, and don't kill the spores. I'd try any (maybe all) of the methods first, before I buffed out the whole trailer.

We used to have a different color designation for vendors, but I don't know if that's still available. I'll ask. All Oliver employees show up in green. Mods blue. Admins red. Members black, or bold black, if they've been around long enough. Fwiw, Colin clearly identified himself as a vendor, so definitely being careful to not break any rules. I appreciate the pricing info, as I'm sure others do. It's an expensive process, but clearly something many are interested in. An additional subforum is a consideration, but it's so infrequent, I'm not totally sure of the value.

I personally think the "drain to 10.5" is a ridiculous and very harmful Idea. Asking for trouble, as the battery is pretty much dead at 10.5. The drop on the seelevel from 12.7 to 12.5 is expected, under load. A good battery will bounce back, not under load in 20 to 30 minutes. The load applied lowers the voltage numbers, and the furnace fan is a big load.
