SNY SD UP

i would like to replace my Garmin 2460 LMT, looking at the Garmin RV 890 what is with this review? https://www.amazon.com/gp/customer-reviews/R2FF00MNJWBPSW/ref=cm_cr_dp_d_rvw_ttl?ie=UTF8&ASIN=B089DMTQFT "I have spent several hours trying to upload maps to this device from Good Sam and fro RV trip apps using the Garmin drive app. IT DOES NOT WORK - do not spend the money for this device>" Reading the RV890 manual, i am not seeing that you can upload non *.GPX maps (www.mapstogo.com), Am i missing something? later edit - the reviewer was experiencing a Hardware error, "NUT LOOSE ON THE KEYBOARD..." Maps he was trying to upload were not Compatible with Garmin Software. FYI - the manual can be located at https://cs1.0ps.us/pdf/opplanet-garmin-rv-890-owners-manual-pdf.pdf

Happy Thanksgiving to All. Cooking at home, whilst it is snowing outside. Bryan & Maggie

At 6'7", I have learned to live with banging, scraping, gouging, slicing my head on things around me, when I have two feet on the ground. In addition, I no longer hesitate to help when asked if I can reach something on a high shelf by a total stranger in a store. It is something that comes with the territory or altitude. The clearance in the Ollie is something my wife & I discussed at length, she researched all the dimensions, and asked me if it would be an issue before we made the decision to travel to Hohenwald. At the factory, we walked thru an OLE II, I rubbed my head on the A/C unit to see how much damage would be self-inflicted. I sat down and got up to see if I would hit my head on the overhead cabinets, above the beds and dinette, well… NOT if I remembered to close them before I sat down. The Shower is a bit tight, but hey, I have had less room in worse showers. I am able to sleep diagonally in the “Twin Bed” arrangement, and if I get a cramp in my leg at night, I just stretch out and press against the wall. Getting in & out the front door, does require ATTENTION; notice the padding on the inside above the door… half the job of padding the doorway is already done. Have I banged my head in the Ollie... YES, but that would happen on many trailers, and they are NOT an OLLIE. I have learned to adapt to the world designed for people shorter than myself, and momentary lapses remind me there is more to be aware of… I have also learned to wear a cap; it softens the blow and absorbs the blood. That said; I would rather bang my head on an Ollie whilst out camping or on vacation, than at home. Respectfully, Bryan

The back of our T-V bed is where we put two e-bikes. We break them down and cable-lock them into the D-Rings on the inside of the bed. I pull the Batteries, and put them inside the truck in the rear passenger area. For pedal bikes, I loosen the handle bars, and turn to be parallel to the front wheel. If I really want to reduce the profile, I remove the pedals... We also carry some additional items in the bed with the bikes. At this time, we have a soft tonneau (roll-up) cover, as far as I am concerned, they help with wind dynamics vs. an open bed. However, they are not secure and can be breached by anyone wanting to get in there. There are some hard panel bed covers tonneau that may be a bit more secure; however again, if someone wants to get in and see what is “under the cover”, they can do it. That said, we are looking at a “Topper” with side and rear entry, they are more aerodynamic than the tonneau covers. and buffet wind for the Ollie. If we want to ride bikes we are probably untethered from the Ollie, and we would go into thru the rear of the topper to access the bikes. The topper I am looking for has compartments inside the side entry, which keeps those things off the T-V bed & bikes. Now as far as security on the topper, I am looking at locking T-handles, which you can lock in the flush position. I am not fretting over if someone wants to gain access, as much as I am making sure I have quick & easy access to the things I need that are carried in the bed.

OKAY, I think I have it. Thanks to all who contributed. Last question, do I leave the Battery breaker (in the front compartment of the Street-side bed) 'Tripped' for the winter (non-use) to have minimum draw or reset it. If I trip the Battery Breaker does that negate any benefit of supplying 'winter power' via the Furrion shore line input.

Mike & Carol, Thanks for the reply So you have a (F) adapter that plugs into the Furrion 30a Power Inlet of the trailer, which then has a STD. 120V 3-prong (M) plug. Is this one you built, or one you purchase.

We have Hull #665, so we are newbies. We are now at the end of 'our' (western ND) camping season, and "SNYSDUP" is resting in a heated (45-50 deg.) Quonset for the winter. The Quonset is dark, no ambient light, except when we enter and turn on the overheads. I have std. 120 power, but do not have 30 Amp circuit wired in yet, so no shoreline connection at this time. My question is what kind of ‘winter’ Battery Maintenance I need to be mindful of, so we are ready to go this next Camping season. - We have the (4) 12V AGP setup, with the Solar, - I have tripped the Battery breaker in the front compartment of the Street-side bed, - I purchased a NAPA (90-510) Batt Charger, which is a 12V 10A charger. I connected it as the instructions said, but wondering if that was a good option, so I have disconnected it for now until I get some weigh-in from others on the Forum. - I seem to remember a discussion thread about using a ‘Smart Charger’ or ‘Battery Minder’, but not finding that specific thread when I search the forum. - If I get a ‘Minder’ what would the recommended Output Amp (2, 4, 6 >?) be? - Is the charger I have @ 10A, okay to top off the Batteries when we are getting ready to go camping again? this Forum is Great, learned so much, from hundreds of accumulated years of just Ollie Camping experiences.
