Yeah, understand if your spare is a different size. All five of our Coopers are the same size...

Rear Jacks Rocker Switches Mounted on Dog House
MAX Burner replied to MAX Burner's topic in General Discussion
DONE! Thanks for the reply! -
100% concur. Keep your spare covered and ready for a short run to Discount Tire after a failure. We've maintained a habit of rotating the spare into the mix, but that's starting with 5 fresh sneakers! In my twisted brain, I'm figuring I'll get 20% more mileage from the set, but at the following tire change drill, it's a bill for 5 instead of 4... right? Not a cheap date by any stretch! Ha! Cheers, brother!

@Wayfinder: Hey, brother - 100% answers my question. Thanks for the 5G information, I wasn't aware of those points. Great reply, thanks! Stay safe... -
Size of the bearing nut for Dexter Axle?
MAX Burner replied to routlaw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
@routlaw: After inspecting my inner/outer bearings last month, I found they all were serviceable. So it was more of a maintenance/clean-up drill. The only parts needing replacement were the beat up grease caps - of which, the replacements I found on Amazon for less than $20. The castle nuts were in fine shape as were the clips that hold them from loosening. Reading your post, I've decided to buy spare nuts for my running gear kit, just in case one is lost (while repairing a bearing failure) or damaged for some reason during a road trip. I keep an axle set of pre-packed Timken's, races, and race tool in our RG kit, JIC. But the castle nut with extra clips would complete the kit. Thanks for your post... Have fun, hope it doesn't rain! Cheers! -
I apologize in advance if this topic was covered in an earlier thread - I searched but couldn't find anything. Has anyone experienced sticky or sluggish rear jack rocker switches? Ours stick in either position and my concern is that they will eventually get stuck in FULL-UP or FULL-DN position and damage the jack motors. I've tried shooting high pressure air in and around the switches - no joy. I'm about to contact Ryder at OTT Parts Team to order a couple new switches but wanted to check with y'all and learn if there's a hack out there providing an effective fix without having to buy new ones. Cheers!

Extending the Cell Booster Interior Antenna
MAX Burner replied to Wayfinder's topic in General Discussion
@Wayfinder: Does your mobile's hot spot work effectively when in close proximity of the antenna for a good internet connection? Just curious... -
...Just curious, @GrayGhost, after 7+years - were you rotating the spare into the mix, and on replacement, did you get 5 new sneakers? I ask because our (second owner) Casablanca spare doesn't seem to have ever seen the light of day.... I'm planning to rotate it in with the others on our next (what will be our first) tire rotation drill.

Extending the Cell Booster Interior Antenna
MAX Burner replied to Wayfinder's topic in General Discussion
Not difficult to set up at all. The receiver sits on a ground mount positioned with a clear view of the sky. There's a mobile app that's used once you select where you wish to position the receiver (which is a rather odd looking white rectangular planar array about 10" x 15"). When the antenna is selected to come out of the "stow" position it takes maybe 10 - 12 minutes to do its scan and lock on to its correct signal. We used it while boondocking in a FS campground near Hopewell Lake (9,500+ feet MSL) in NM last October - way out of range for any mobile signal and we had great internet access with SL. -

@routlaw: We found this unit on Amazon for what we consider a fair price point, much less than what we invested in the first TPMS go around: We've got roughly 500 miles of usage so far without issue. The readout is smaller than my old eyes would like, but it's solar powered and doesn't need 12vDC unless it's not been used for several weeks. It charges through a USB cable in about 25-30 minutes time. But as mentioned above, sensor batteries are a piece of cake to replace. Just my $0.02 worth... Stay safe, brother...

@routlaw: Good call, Routlaw IMHO. We invested in a TPMS many years ago which required the pressure/temp sensor batteries to be installed by the factory. That was an earlier system and after 4-5 years, they all needed replacement. Not a cheap date, for sure. Shipping and factory labor was north of $80 at that time. So, after that second set of batts terminated, we didn't want that date again - we found a system that allows the user to replace the sensor batts. This maybe the new standard today - but we just recommend checking about the batt replacement drill before you invest. Either way, a TPMS will give you both a level of confidence and piece of mind especially touring around the Great Southwest in the hot season. Cheers, brother!

QUESTION: Has anyone out in Ollie-World experienced difficulty selecting various modes (heat/AC) or temperature adjustments with the Dometic digital thermostat? Ours doesn't seem to respond to button inputs unless it's depressed with an unusual amount of pressure. Granted, it's 6+ years old, but I should think it would last longer, right? Worn out? Otherwise defective? We'd appreciate feed back... Thanks in advance...

@Katjo: We've got the cell booster in Casablanca, too. We see no signal difference sitting at the dinette with the boost on either! We've tried and like the Star Link system (loaned to us from RV friends) and it's great in providing internet access. The RV-subscription of Star Link allows you to pay by the drink - on a monthly basis. Not a bad deal, we're getting one before our next trip, FYI. -

Clean set-up... NICE!
