Here’s a quick little modification for those who don’t use the TV. I took ours out and repurposed the fold down mount by adding a small shelf to hold our coffee in the morning.

I would suggest you go check out this YouTube channel. You will find detailed instructions on every part of a mobile electrical system. He also has wiring diagrams that you can follow. You are messing with large amount of electricity so you need to understand all aspects. Your inverter will require 4/0 cable. https://youtube.com/@EXPLORISTlife John

OK, so on my 2021 the ones between the wheels were 6mm and the outside ones were 1/4. Sure would be nice if they lined up where you wanted when they bottomed out. 🤷‍♂️

I am going to change out the grease zerks for 45 degree fittings. What size are the fittings and are they all the same size? thanks, John

So my kitchen faucet has become loose. Has anyone tightened this particular one. I don’t want to disassemble more than I have to. Thanks, John

Truma says that a 3000 watt generator is required to run the Aventa unit. A 20 amp outlet would not be sufficient.

Thanks guys, I’ll check the manual. 👍🏻

Where do I need to start to adjust this correctly. Do I need to adjust the positions of where the arms attach to the outer rail or is this caused by something else? I want to have an idea before I start messing with it. Thanks, John

For my portable setup I installed a separate victron 100/50 under the street side bed that connects to the zamp solar port. This setup allows you to have your panels in series so you can send low amp/high volt current over a longer distance. I have 6 100 watts panels that I can send to this port in a series/parallel configuration and be well within the limitations of the side port(20 amps) all while using relatively cheap landscape wire.

The FAA recently changed the term for NOTAMS from "Notice to airmen" to "Notice to air missions"

😆 The new woke FAA.

I finally got this project done. I ended up ordering a mattress from Tochta with dimensions of 78x75x10. When I put the mattress in the trailer and unpackaged it the actual dimensions we 78x77 which was too long. There was zero room around the top and bottom of the mattress. I called Tochta and they asked me to send pictures of the measurements. They got back to me and offered to give me $400 back if this mattress would work or to just have me donate this one and they would send me a new one. I chose a new one with dimensions of 76x74x10. It arrived less than a week later and fits perfectly. Mattress is very comfortable and Tochta's customer service is top notch! John

You can also go into the xantrax app and turn the charger ignition control to "auto on" which will effectively disable the charger. Doing this is also good for the health of your lithium batteries as they really don't like to sit on a float charge for extended periods. John

Has anyone modified their Ollie from the Twin bed to a king size bed. We though the twins would work for us but we just don't like them. From what I see removing the nightstand is just 4 bolts and some caulk. The bed rails appear to be riveted as seen I the picture below. Would the best approach be just drilling out the rivets? I don't see anything below them that I would need to be concerned about. Any experience would be appreciated. John

Just did my 2021 today and found the exact situation as John when I opened them up. John

Has anyone ended up ordering a King mattress from Tochta? We are going to convert from the twins to a King and this seems like the best option. What dimensions did you go with? John

If both panels are the same (or close in specs) you are better off running them in series. This increases your voltage but not your amperage. Since your controller is downstream from the port it will see the low amperage before it gets to your controller where it increases. John

I've had the Iceco VL75Pro for about a year. Works great, has the danfoss compressor and I paid about $870 bucks with a coupon. I have a similar setup to Steve with solar to charge a battery in the truck bed that then powers the fridge. With partial sun it will run indefinitely.

This stuff is great for the outdoor lights. Makes them dimmer and less harsh. John Lamin-x One 4 inch x 8 inch... https://www.amazon.com/dp/B00CXWPO72?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share

This trifold panel setup I made weighs about 45 lbs. 300 watts for around $305. I added a victron 100/50 that connects to the zamp port for easy deployment. The panels are Bougerv. John

Thanks for the info guys. I measured the towel rack that is currently in the cutout and the outside dimensions are 19x13. Did y'all have to enlarge that hole to install the hatch. I assume everyone has used that 12x24 in hatch that was posted in another thread. John

So I just got the separate shower valves and a new shower head to do this mod. Can someone tell me what I am going to find when I take the towel rack/cubby out of the vanity. I am assuming just 2 pex lines (hot and cold) with a valve going to a 1/2 inch NPT with supply lines to the faucet as pictured above. I am planning on adding a T to those vales and hopefully that will be it. These will be the first big holes I have put in the fiberglass. What is the preferred method for doing this. I was going to use a hole saw on my drill. Any other techniques or gotchas to be aware of. Thanks, John

Yeah yeah, I know it is too long and I knew it would be pointed out when I posted it.😁 I have blanks so I can just cut the cable to length and re-crimp it but for some reason I haven't gotten back to do it yet. 🤷‍♂️. Now I am motivated!!! John

Hey Mike, you are correct. I have the 3000 wax XC Pro. I have noted the picture below. The 4/0 cable used to come from the battery negative to the chassis ground. When I installed the Lynx I removed all the wire from the battery compartment except for the 2 4/0 cables that come from the batteries to the lynx. Luckily when I removed the 4/0 cable from the battery negative that went to the chassis it was just long enough to be able to be installed (albeit awkwardly) to the negative bus on the lynx which saved me from making another 4/0 cable. The solar controllers below are a 100/50 for the portable solar and a 100/30 for the rooftop array. There is a small positive busbar mounted vertically on the lower right that I used for jacks ect. John

Hey Mike, That 4/0 cable on my 2021 goes direct to the negative battery terminal. (at least it used to before I rearranged all the wiring 😁) John
