Same here - The Flush King works great. We get no odors after flushing clear - takes 3 to 4 fills.

Not only are lithiums a perfect match for solar - they're also a perfect match for a DC/DC charger... Your TV's alternator generates a goodly amount of current (probably north of 180Amps) which cannot make it to the lithium bank via the standard 7-pin connection. The DC/DC charger allows the lithiums to charge with that current produced by your TV while traveling in addition to the solar (if you're pulling during sunny times of the day).

We've got one that looks like teak wood but is actually synthetic wood. It's the same height/thickness as the teak wood option - so if you're more than 73 inches your head hits the fan... (had to double check my spelling on that phrase). Its nice to have a clean surface to shower on, but bumping your head is a concern for some... Just say'n.

Totally concur with Steve's assessment. But it was an interesting article anyway. It would be good to have one written about the 10 best TV's in the past 5 years, IMO.

Same here...

Very cool. Congrats on your OTT acquisition, Doug! Let us know if you're coming down our way, south of Santa Fe/north of ABQ. We've got a flat site w/30amp and well water, if needed - FYI...

We'd sure like to see more OTT owners that live in the Rockies/SW US on the forums, we know they're out there - lurking, somewhere... HA!

HA! 🤣 Funny, but good question. The closest I could get to the center for that Smart Shunt probe is the positive terminal of the middle BB. Been out of the country the past 2 weeks also, Mossey - headed back late this PM, FYI. I'll be installing a Victron DC/DC charger in the Casa Blanca after I shake off the jet lag this weekend. Plan to start a post on that one, too.

FYI: We made a table for the Lagun mount from some available red oak we had in the woodshop. The mount is centered on the nightstand. The underside of the table is "grooved" and can be fitted on the bed rails so our 55lb husky, Magnus, can curl up between us at night. It is serving us well so far - Magnus seems to like it too. The table and mount is stored/bungie-corded on the left side closet bulkhead. transitioning to the "dog-bed" mode above. View from below with table grooves on bed rails above. Table mode - can swing over either bed or centered in aisle for a secondary workstation....

Being the "cheapo fabricators", we re-purposed an old poly cutting board from our junk/recycle shelf in the shop to mount the main battery cut-off switch and positive bus bar... Significantly reduced the battery connections down to the 4/0 cables plus a mid-point battery monitor for the Victron Smart Shunt and a batt temp probe. Placed it on top of the Battleborns - seems to work fine.

Same here! Maybe need to add an LED "diffuser tab" as JD mentions...

@Patriot: Sano install, brother! Enjoy your time in the Rockies - beautiful time of the year to explore them. Stay safe and press on, regardless!

FYI: The plates are in fact flat aluminum, they look like diamond plate because they're reflecting the diamond plate floor mat that the trailer is positioned on. The second photo shows the plate finish without the reflection.

Installed new carpet treads a couple days ago and planned to clean and lubricate the step mechanism with CV-2 grease. FYI: Just a small amount of CV-2 applied to the rail slots make deploying/retracting the steps quieter and much easier with a lot less effort. Noticing that the leading edge/forward aluminum step frame had been quite hammered by road debris after 6+ years of usage, we decided to address this situation with an angle grinder fit with a polishing wheel and green rouge. Here's what happened after about 30 minutes of effort: We're liking the results and should allow being able to keep this area cleaner over time... Cheers!

Very cool! Looking forward to meeting you and seeing how your new OTT turns out! Cheers!

Those lithiums should only lose about 3-5% SOC per month... You should be fine.

@Coastal Aggie: Congrats on collecting your new OTT! Shoot us some pix of that new beauty! Safe and fun travel are now to be had... Cheers!

We've been using USAA for over 40 years - only have had to use the "RV rider" once while on the road. Towing our AS, the Suburban's alternator went out randomly on our way back to NM when we were about 45 miles east of OKC on I-44. Called the USAA roadside assistance number, waited less than an hour and they showed up as promised. The tow truck driver kept the AS connected to the Sub, lifted the steering axle, and pulled the whole mess to a local GMC dealership. Easy peasy. The dealership even gave us a loaner to get around with while staying in their parking lot that night. They had us back on the road by 10am the next day.

Absolutely @topgun2! We dumped this AM at the house after returning from Mexico yesterday PM... We've always released a small amount of grey water before dumping the good stuff. It may also assist in moving the black effluent down what would otherwise be a dry hose. With the OTT wastewater holding tank flushing feature, (we didn't have this in our previous RV) we're now in the habit of running a wastewater holding tank full of freshwater to dump through the hose after the gray water's been eliminated. A final step that seems to work for us - on many levels. HA!

Spur of the moment trip to Old Mexico.... Boondocking here near Columbus, NM - enroute today to Palomas, Mexico. Beautiful WX, with a nice thunderstorm last night and good rain we're finishing up Bfast and headed southbound. Cheers! A & D

Same here, Brian. We sold our (2nd) AS to a cool couple from Temecula, CA in early 21. We had over 75k miles on that one and heavily modified it to meet our style of "travel trailering". The next major upgrade was to be the replacement of the banana wrap and belly panels - we didn't want to go there. So, we sold it and started learning about Olivers. We had a Casita for a year before we bought Casablanca - although there are a few features of the AS we miss, we are 100% happy with Hull #226.

...that's an understatement this year! New coach, small/younger team - not good. Anchors aweigh!

Our 311 came with a chintzy light weight lid that just feels "cheep". Know what I'm saying? I'm liking the concept of a HD/slow closing lid - can that part be ordered separately from Dometic?
