  1. Didn't know that, good to know. Our experience has been only with TV's. Thanks!
  2. I'm thinking this threat could easily "moderate" into a new thread devoted to yummy IP recipes... just say'n, HA!
  3. It's easy to get to the level of "huge fans" of the IP! We also use the larger IP version in the main galley of the house.... Cheers!
  4. Ah! @mossemi - beat me to it, brother! HA!
  5. We spent a month from NM to Key West several years ago. Making reservations before departure were what we consider the basic plan from which many deviations were made. Specifically, we found an RV park on Grassy Key which we planned to stay 2 nites - it was so nice those 2 nites turned into 4, and the plan pushed back from there. It always seems to work out. Enjoy your roaming! Cheers...
  6. @topgun2: Same here. Researching for model number ATM...
  7. ...oh, sort of something like this: We love ours and it fits nicely on the top shelf of the pantry. D's got tons of recipes... Great for our morning oatmeal! Enjoy!
  8. @Geronimo John previously requested in one of our recent thread on "Relocating Bath Water Pump Switch and LED", for us to post a new thread discussing options for opening up storage under the bath/shower (HEAD) sink. In that earlier thread, G-John referred to an insulation modification engineered by @John E Davies which is actually an element of this suggested mod as well. D and I wish to thank both G-John and JD for their combined encouragement for this and other OTT modifications we've logged to date. FULL DISCLOSURE: We haven't completed the mod, but members should get a good idea of the direction its going - and we will continue to update progress. 1. Background: We mentioned in the WP Switch/LED thread, the PO installed a marine-grade deck hatch on the front side of the sink cabinet after removing the "cubby shelf" which housed the PW Switch/LED package. The deck hatch is available on Amazon: As shown above, the hatch is configured with 2 "dogs" that adequately seal the compartment within as we have yet to discover water intrusion after showering - believe me, we've checked! Higher quality deck hatches are available at a higher price point than this one, for sure. On the plus side, the rubber seal used in our hatch cover is totally replaceable. In fact, some are available that more closely match the latch hardware OTT uses for the upper storage cabinets in the main area. Here's how ours is configured: 2. New storage area: When relocating the WP Switch, we cleaned up the wire bundles and PEX lines in the void below the sink. JD noted in his "How To" thread about how to better insulate this void - especially since PEX lines are located there. We will do the same insulation upgrade in Phase-2 later this summer. D is calling this a "game-changer" for her because it opened up the space below the forward dinette seat for other items - now that the void serves as storage for dry paper goods previously under the seat, as shown below: 3. Path forward: We're planning to add shelving in this compartment for better organization after the insulation upgrade. I'm actually hearing rumblings from D of converting the forward seat storage area into a mini wine cellar - more on that in another update... So as @Patriot might say, "Mod on..." Cheers!
  9. Although we still do business with DT, we've also had very good luck with Costco Tire section, FYI.
  10. NICE! We also had one in both of our AS's and also in our 2019 Casita - a convenient touch, IMO.
  11. @Bill and Nancy: BRAVO/ZULU, Brother! Well Done.
  12. Problem: We've had our OTT for several months now, and still getting used to the "in's and out's" of the rig. One item that's been bugging us is that there wasn't a way to energize the water pump when occupying the head. WHAT? Background: So, the PO decided to remove the "cubby" shelf under the bathroom sink which housed the factory WP switch and LED and replaced it with a 2-dog marine-grade hatch to access space in the forward area under the sink for additional storage. I get that, 100%. However, they didn't (for unknown reasons) reposition the switch/LED before completing their mod. This was either an oversight, or running out of time, or outside their wheelhouse, or... whatever, it doesn't really matter. There's a modification project that's hatching here. After rooting around (with my vintage 6-foot frame) on the shower pan looking into the forward-most storage void, lo and behold, the WP switch AND LED wires were found wrapped-up and tucked away. The 5 wire-bundle of switch/LED circuits were fully intact and operational. Whew! Right? Fix: Ok! Let's figure out a logical placement of this, what we consider, a non-trivial feature to have working correctly in a proper RV head. I decided to reach out to a couple members for their thoughts (many thanks to JD and Geronimo John) - another huge benefit of the OTT Forum. Several ideas surfaced to include repositioning the switch/LED on the upper bath cabinet near the existing light switch or on the port side of the sink cabinet. We opted for the side of the sink cabinet. Below are some pix of the repositioning modification we knocked-out yesterday: 1. Carefully measured, marked, pilot-drilled, and drilled switch hole: 2. We chose the area below the TP Compartment because it would seem to give more "anti-water intrusion protection" than the space above the TP holder. 3. Measured, marked and drilled LED hole: 4. Used a couple drops of Gorilla Instant Glue for the LED mounting placement. After glue cured, applied clear silicone to provide additional water resistance: 5. Let there be light... The rubber-booted "marine-grade" switch should be fine in this environment and away from a direct shot from the shower head much like its original factory position in the upper area of the cubby shelf. We debated actually posting this to the Ollie-World because it would seem to us that it's a "one-of-a-kind" modification. However, if anyone else out there has a similar situation, hopefully this may be of help. At least for now, we'll no longer be stranded in the head during one of those middle of the night "needs" without being able to flush... Cheers!
  13. Of course there are! HA!
  14. That would be way COOL. Get on it, brother! HA!
  15. @topgun2: Will this unit control more than one LED circuit?
  16. It would be interesting to find a supplier for "dimmable" LEDs and adding rheostats for the master switch panel patio and courtesy lights. SOBs out there have this feature.
  17. Welcome to the OTT Family! Be sure to refer to the forums for virtually anything Oliver-related - its simply a wealth of information, experience, and friendship. Working with the folks at the factory and supplemented with support from the forum forms a base of knowledge for you to handle just about any conceivable issue. Enjoy the ride... it will be a life-changer as you're entering into retirement! 😎
  18. We got our's on that sale...
  19. We're looking forward to trying out manual shifting at altitude on our upcoming trip to Hopewell Lake in northern NM. The last half of the trip is a 75-mile run above 6k'MSL up to the campground at 9.8k'. I'm thinking keeping the RPMs above 2100-2000 in the highest possible gear might be a starting point to determine best MPG. Thoughts?
  20. OK... So, "D" and I are "dog-folks". This feature is exactly why we installed a Micro Air Model 351 last week. So long as we have a wifi signal and Magnus is bannished to the Ollie (on rare occasions only) - we can monitor his environment. What we do for our 4-legged family members.... right? Piece of mind.
  21. Welcome! But hey? Where's the Command Master Chief for this crew? HA!
  22. Welcome!
  23. Try some CRC Brake Parts Cleaner - then hit the Bulldog mechanism with some high quality spray lube... There should be no "sticking-up" - you'll know when you're done when its all smooth in every direction!
