  1. Cell phone accelerometer apps might work nice for recording before / after effects. When ours arrive, we will give it a shot and report back. I use the iPhone app called "Gauges" (can record speed, acceleration (all dimensions), sound). Was asked by Alcan to measure our u-bolts, see attached. So, we are still a couple of weeks out from getting this done. U-bolt Order Template 032024 (1).pdf
  2. Congrats! Grandkidos are a total blessing! Enjoy!
  3. Yikes - so sorry to hear this. Good RV Techs must be masters of so many trades and must be highly skilled. Many shops hire anyone off the street, don't pay well and just give them an "RV Tech" labeled shirt and the not-so-much fun begins. Finding a good local tech is a precious thing!!
  4. I removed our bike rack factory installed 1.5" receiver and noticed some corrosion on the underside of the rack where the u-bolts/washer attach . Will be checking other fasteners / washers going through the aluminum members around the bumper/bike rack area and adding some thin delrin/acetal washers to put under the stainless washers and maybe adding a thin coat of Ultra Tef-Gel to the hole walls -OR- should I do something different?
  5. I agree with your concern. I really don't like the cute little fire waiting to happen, especially given it's about half the price of a small Clam shelter which offers other uses. Maybe just some flexible tent poles for $20 and tarp material with some plastic clips used for greenhouse covers - or, as @jd1923 mentioned, a golf umbrella!
  6. Thanks for everyone's comments. Not sure about running any generator in the rain that isn't specifically designed for it. See label below from Honda's EU2200 manual which is what we have. On the other hand, please don't ask me if I have carefully read the entire manual before operation. I have enough trouble with my hair as it is...don't want any of those zzzzap-curls! I've gotten enough of those in the past 🤯
  7. What do you all do to cover your generators when you need to run them and it's poring rain outside? I've seen some "covers" at the Jungle Store - not sure about them.
  8. Hmmm....the new LE-III Lux model with inflatable slide-out...Nah, we will take our's just as it is 😁 @MAX Burner taking a quick shower?😳
  9. Oh....the wonderful memories! Enjoy the great experience. Despite similar wise counsel, we did not test "everything" - specifically how to dump our gray tank. Went to dump it the first time at about 50% full and nothing would come out. Oh dear.... After a frantic call to Service, we came to realize we were pointed nose first downhill at this particular dump station. Whoopies! Fortunately for us, we had no Oliver flaws - only our own! We will not forget our great pick up experience and pray yours is even better!
  10. Thanks for all the information. This got me to take a closer look at our 2 5/16 BD. Built a bit differently than the 7K. No gusset but more of the tubing inside. Would not rate the welds at "great". Is this similar to other's with 2 5/16?
  11. For those who have Fords, many of their FOBs have motion sensors. After about 40 seconds, their transmitters turn off. Sounds good unless you put your FOB in your pocket and are walking. I tested the 40 second FOB sleep on my 2019 F250 and it does go to sleep. However, this fails if I put the FOB in my pants pocket without using some type of Faraday cage given my walking motion keeps the transmitter from falling asleep. Finally, just found this (oh the interwebs are just full of info LOL)...if you have bluetooth connectivity with your vehicle (say with your phone), you may want to consider turning it off. Just does to show what my Daddy taught me...a lock is for an honest man. 😵
  12. We use this little pouch...decent build quality. Have tested it with our 2019 Ford FOB and it blocks signal. Also blocks cell phone signal - so pretty good RF blocking. The negative reviews are likely due to folks putting things in the outer (unprotected) pocket. I have noticed there is signal leakage if the closure flap is left open.
  13. One can fine lots of images for different tire wear patterns online. I found the attached from a commercial fleet site and while there are no images, the descriptions are good. Additionally, just to stir the pot 😀I really trust this guy (see video below) who suggests that IF you are not seeing strange wear patterns, rotations are not really needed. I have been rotating tires for 50 years....but now questioning it a bit.
  14. @Emgmtg, I just took some no so great photos of my fins and noticed similar gaps, My guess is for easy of assembly, the cutout is a tad larger than the fins. This gap is also covered by the backing plate? Was any sealant used around the edges of the backing plate when you disassembled? Hope this helps.
  15. Torque Wrenches......absolutely needed - BUT - make sure you check its calibration! Lots of videos on how to do this at home (ex. below). Mine (USA made) was way under (reporting 90 ft-lbs at 65) 😮
