I always thought it was not a great sign when a vendor would spend an entire week at a rally having to fix their product.

I'm interested in weather or not they kept the John Deer Truma water heater. Would be nice not to require a certified tech work work on the dang thing. Tankless uses more water anyways... so I've heard via comparisons.

@DanielBoondock to me it’s not about the trailer itself. It’s about all the components inside, especially the electronics.

Well I think we have exhausted talk of tire pressures. Just put 45 to 55 psi in each tire and go camping and stop reading forums about tire pressures. HEHE Dropping mic now. LOL

Th good news is I’ve had several folks on FB say they’ve ha no issues with Trumas at high elevations. I think even Suburbans need a tiny simple adjustment. But can be done by anyone with a screwdriver.

I’ll keep my Suburban water heater.

I’m 6’2” so the manual awning for me is super quick.

I was trying to decide how to reply to @routlaw when @Mike and Carol chimed in. I have not had a tankless, so this is unfair. But there is a lot of plastic in the Trumas, more technical knowledge is required, only meaning more codes and such people have to go figure out. I should not say this, cuz my tank will break next week, but I've not YET has any issues with my 10 year Suburban 6 gallon tank. I do flush it twice a year and have given tech-talks on the process at Egg rallies. You do not need to be certified to work on them and can get parts anywhere for them. Not sure if Suburban techs have ever had to attend an Oliver rally.... year after year, after year, and be busy the entire week, and bring van fulls of parts and spares. Just saying. I'm pulling my soon-to-be old man card on this one. I'm keeping my suburban water tank and my Fiamma F45S manual awning. Over my dead body they're getting changed out with "better technology". Bulls**t. 😊🤣

@DaveAndBecky_NorthernMI I would look over that emergency brake away switch VERY carefully for any signs of damage. If the box was warm, or worse, hot, when you pushed the plastic pin back in, it could have melted the pin at the crimp point, essentially cutting off the end of the pin at the narrow point. I had a pin melt, and when next pulled for annual inspection, the "point" of the pin remained inside the box. Then, I got in my truck to find a tractor supply store. They have crap for good emergency brake aways, but in a pinch, they'll do. That's a lot of amps on two pieces of metal in a tiny box. A pretty easy replaceable item, if you're back is not crap like mine. LOL

I just removed a ScotchLok under the pantry where a brake wire was extended, YET, was as tight as a piano wire. Discovered before I replaced the final torn up axle/brake wire. One less ScotchLok. Quite difficult to work under that pantry.

All good questions and statements Bill. None should apply to her situation as I understand it. Some how I think she forgot to drain grey tank, or some how left water on trying to get the water to heat up. Where is the location of your drains & vents? My old rig is not like that as I'm aware of. UPDATE: OH, THIS MUST BE UNDER THE BATHROOM SINK. I have not been under mine yet. Also, here toilet would overflow when she opened the foot valve if the black tank got that full. She's never used the flush out yet. I'll be showing her that and other things in a couple weeks (training).

Yeah, I've figured out once that I did not open it when my feet were getting wet while at the bathroom sink. 😜

That's exactly what I was thinking, but I can never know everything. Thanks for the confirmation.

At least my first suggestion to her was that her tanks were full. But she was sure they were not. LOL

Has anyone had their shower backup with water after running water in the kitchen sink? The grey tank is empty, for sure. I am being told they have dumped their tanks. Any way a leak from the water system could fill up the grey tank? Shower gate valve is open I am told. Seems like a clog somewhere. Asking for a friend. UPDATE: I just received word from her that her indicator for the grey tank is NOW showing 100%. But question still stands, just in case. Is there any way a grey tank could fill up with a friend water tank/line leak? I cannot think of a way, there should be no fresh connections to grey, right? She travels with no water in fresh tank as well.
