@Frank C: Yeah, thought there had to be a transfer switch between the two outlets. Anyone know the type/manufacturer of the OTT ATS?
-
I'm thinking there must be either an automatic or manual transfer switch that allows 30A power from only a single socket at a time. Is this correct?

My 3200i will be hopefully soon, I am on the www.hutchmountain.com LP conversion kit waiting list for the EU3200i. I will post up after I receive the kit and run the gen with the conversion kit. I really like the EU3000is LP conversion kit which was a fairly simple install. This gen weighs in at 130# dry and it’s a now tri fuel conversion. LP, LNG, and gasoline.
Patriot🇺🇸Must be nice/convenient having the forward doghouse mounted 30A shore outlet! Has anyone researched if this can be retrofitted by an owner - or does it go to the mobile RV tech for installation? Just curious!

We've added, Main Hatch lock/remote, LGP tank w/remote readout, TPMS, SmartShunt w/BT, and a 100Watt HAM radio - no problems noted, FYI.

Sounds like the dreaded Poltergeist phenomenon.... HA!

@HDRider: Impressive, its 10lbs lighter than my (rather) old EUi2000 Honda and only $629.10 on Amazon. 57db - quiet, too. Hmmm, may need to add this unit to the stable...

and particularly Jason Essary, continue to effectively counterbalance those oversights with exemplary customer service after you take delivery.
That is good to know! Jason always seems to be on top of the issue... Thanks for sharing. Informative.

We now enjoy a little pantry cabinet created from the microwave cabinet.
Does anyone out in Ollie-World want to buy a microwave???

I would not recommend installing the EZ gutter above the awning seal.
@Patriot - All good points, brother. It was a random thought... It definitely wouldn't look too red hot, for sure. Thanks for sending pix of the weep hole drill out of the awning brackets. I'd like seeing the sizing and placement of the holes by the OTT maintenance team. Thanks, and cheers!

I was even considering my left-over gutter guard in lieu of the bulb seal.
@Wayfinder - What do you think about the EZ Gutter above the awning mounts up top and the bulb seal below like @Patriot described earlier in the thread? That way, the large debris would flush through under the awning in heavy wind/rain conditions, anything stuck or leftover could easily be swept away manually. During light rain conditions - the EZ Gutter would channel water away and keep from streaking the side of the rig.
Here's what one end of my bulb seal looked like after I removed it:
UGH!, Nasty! You can see the oxidized rubber material powder coating my hand...

100% concur @topgun2! We'd run the Michelin RIBs at 85psi during winter months on my aluminum SOB and always check tire temps (man, we love the IR temp gauge!) during refueling stops. We'd run 80psi in the warmer months.

Received my new awning seal from Ryder at OTT Parts Team a few weeks ago, will be installing before our road trip later this month. I like the idea that @Patriot mentioned about OTT service team dropping the seal down slightly and drilling weep holes in the FIAMMA mounts for drainage.
We will also install the EZ Gutter over the main hatch and windows... brilliant!

Also why on earth does any vehicle manufacturer use sleeved wheel nuts? I don’t get it.
Good question, brother. I'm thinking cost, cosmetics? Certainly not safety.
Gorilla lifetime lug nuts comes with triple nickel plating to prevent rust and corrosion along with being cold forged and heat treated for superior hardness.
Our set of Gorilla Lugs arrived from Summit Racing a few days ago. They're going on before our trip to Puerto Penasco later this month (probably at 110 ft-lbs).

I personally have been running 100 ft-lbs since Day 1 with never a loose wheel nut.
That's reasonable. I've got a set of Gorilla Lugs waiting for me to swap out - several of the original "sleeved" lugs have started slipping. I can still get them off, but its unnerving having the outer sleeve rotate about an eighth of a turn while removing them.

It's my understanding that airtags use the proximity of iPhone's to track objects. If your tracked item (dog or generator) is not within 200ft from an iPhone, the Airtag system won’t be able to find them. Airtags do not have GPS or LTE to allow them to function independently, so without an iPhone around they can’t locate anything.
Negative,Brother.
As long as the AT on the tracked item is within a cell signal, your "Find My" app will give you a location - doesn't matter how far away you are.
For example, I departed the Good 'Ol USofA last Thursday for a 26+hour series of flights to the Middle East. My lay over in Frankfurt for my final leg on Lufthansa was tight. My checked bag didn't make it on board. On arrival to my destination, I brought up the app and took this screenshot...
I labeled this particular AT, "Art's Lost Gear" using the app. The smiley face is my bag in Frankfurt, note the "directions" block in lower left. 2,678 miles. Not bad. The "AirTag Not Reachable" popped up when I, just for the heck of it, selected "Play Sound." This function only works with a good signal when you're "close" to the AT - maybe within 50 feet or so. When within this distance the AT gives off an audible "ping" - granted you've got to have good hearing (unlike mine) to catch the ping, but its better than nothing.
I tracked my bag as it was loaded into the next flight (lost contact when airborne) - but caught up to it 6 hours later when it landed here. Went to the airport, collected the bag - no worries, and peace of mind!
We got the 4-pack from Amazon for $90. Strongly recommended for just about anything you own of value that you want to keep tabs on. Pets, baggage, generators, cold 6-pak, etc... HA!

And they are still recommending 120 ft lbs of torque. This really needs to be changed.
I thought I read it was 110 ft-lbs....?

We're looking at possibly attending OE in Loveland this AUG... Fun time in CO that time of year, just FYI.

I have been thinking about trying one of Apples air tag under the cover.
Excellent idea. I'm sure it will work just fine. In fact, just last Friday I departed Frankfurt on a fairly tight layover and my checked bag didn't make it... I'm the Middle East right now, and I've been tracking the progress of my bag to my current location. It made it to the local airport late last night. Thanks to Apple's Air Tags - you can easily track your lost/missing items so long as its within a cell signal...
I've got one on Magnus' collar, too! WOOF!

Inside The Wonder Egg I'll have an ICOM IC-7300
@bugeyedriver: What are your plans for mounting the IC-7300? Permanent or temporary - just curious, trying to get some ideas for my IC-7000...

Been to the OE many times - always on the BMW GS1150, however. The Flagstaff venue has RV parking adjacent to the Expo, don't know about the Loveland, CO venue for RV camping, though. All in all, a Great expo - incredible setting, Flagstaff. Too bad Ollie's don't make the cut to camp within the OE area. Some of the RTW rigs make the OTT look like a peanut. So, size isn't the issue for attendance - it's all about the off-road "Round The World" capability of the rig. Met some great friends there, for sure.
Like the Earth Roamer:

Tap Lights Randomly Coming On
in General Discussion
Posted
Concur, GJ... Our's must be tapped to energize them - independent from the master light switch by the main hatch.
