I think they're designed for 30 amp service. I don't have any problems with 30 amp. What are the big power draws at the moment? John

I have it and it's worth having in my opinion. I can be in the tv and backing in and stop at the spot that's most level. We were in a deserted state park in Oregon and we checked out about 10 pull-throughs until we found the most level one. Totally worth having. John

We're hoping to get out to Joseph next year to the state park there. John

That's a lot closer than Hohenwald! I know of about four owners in the Portland area. You must be the fifth with your knowledge of the area. Wahoo! John

Bill, I wondered if I was the only one that liked to wash the car before a trip regardless of the weather forecast. Nice to know that I am not alone. John

Well said. John

And one looks like it's near Portland, Oregon. That's good news for us! John

It will be our first time there. They live north of Hobart in Rosetta, close to the river. I am looking forward to having summer in February and March.

Thanks Bill, we haven't decided yet whether we're going to the rally. I would like to go, but we will have just returned from two months in Australia just before the rally starts. Our son lives in Tasmania. Thanks for your comment. John

When I asked if I could just leave my lithium batteries plugged in 24/7 I was told it was ok. That means they are always at 100%. OTT gave me that advice. John

Bill, Do they cover some of these questions at the rally? I don't have a good grasp of the electrical systems and how to integrate a portable solar panel if I had one available. John

I was surprised too how close it was. We're in Oregon. I suppose they have to start somewhere. I wonder how they will be priced at the dealer versus at Hohenwald. John

My method too.

I have the covers on all four tires even though when stored, the curbside tires face north and never have sun on them.

My wife said no to the composting toilet. I believe 90% are bought with that option when I talked to Jason E a few weeks ago. We can always do it later, but we like the flush toilet for now. John

Welcome to the Oliver family. We just pulled #1290 through Wyoming last week. Boondocked at Evanston in 17° temperature and stayed warm. A little condensation on the windows, but very little. Never on the walls. Ours is stored outside in Oregon, plugged in with tire covers. Ours was the third to last Elite II for 2022. John

That's great advice. Thanks. I used your link and learned about the Faraday cage. John

Doug, I bought the SS lug nuts that ScubaRx mentioned made of 304 SS. I was just in Hohenwald and had service and showed them what I bought. They said that they would work. They're not the bulged acorn. They did install them and I didn't ask what torque setting they used. I do have a torque wrench with me so will set it to 95 and see if any are less than that. Someone earlier posted that they torque higher than 95. We're in Kentucky heading to Oregon now. John

I am for it. We are in Oregon. That's much further than a 12 hour drive! John

We made a list. It's our first time as we bought November,2022.

We're in Paducah, Kentucky and this RV park is full. Somehow I thought it would be empty. We're only traveling because we're heading to Hohenwald for its first service. Lots of big Class A's. John

Bill, Looks very useful. I was rinsing the black tank and was inside watching the % full on the black tank. It stopped registering at 55%. I thought, well maybe it will jump up to 75%. I kept waiting. Then I saw the toilet bowl valve move. I ran outside to turn it off. That flow monitor looks very useful. Do they work as intended? John

Albert, thanks for the math. We have been in Denver for six days helping our daughter care for her two sons, 2 months old and 19 months old while her husband was in Italy for work. Lots of work taking care of those little guys. He's back now and we're heading to Hohenwald by the 29th. Thanks again. John

I will do that. I have been busy with two grandsons under the age of two. Diaper changes, bottles, cleaning up, etc. John

Hi all math whizzes. I took the tv and trailer through twice. First time with the Anderson hooked up. Second time without and third time with the tv only. Does anyone know if doing those three weighs will give me the hitch weight and the trailer weight. Here are the numbers: 1st weigh- steer axle 3120, drive axle 4260, trailer axle 5840. Gross weight 13220 2nd weigh- steer axle 3080, drive axle 4340, trailer axle 5800, gross weight 13220 3rd weigh- steer axle 3380, drive axle 3400, gross weight 6780 The tv is a 2017 Ford Expedition. Missing from the tv was my wife at 140 pounds and maybe 100 pounds of cooler and drinking water. The fuel tank was full as well as the fresh water tank. Black and gray were empty. Thanks for any help. Have a great week all. John
