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

Rivernerd, you are right. Very sorry about your brother Larry. We have the same set-up that you have. I have always run the fridge on DC while traveling. Like you my SOC hasn't gone down much. Two days of travel with a boondocking stop brought me down to 76%. Not bad. If I ever ran it on propane while traveling, I would turn off the propane while fueling. John

"However, my filler port on my F-150 is on the opposite of the rig versus where the fridge is located." Bill, my filler is on driver's side like yours also. I may try doing what you do. I do have two gas stop devices. John

Still can't open on my phone. Where is it from?

Thanks. I couldn't get the spreadsheet to open. Thanks for the detailed order of weighing. John

Hi all, we left Oregon for Tennessee and I stopped at a CAT scale. That gives three readings; steer axle, drive axle and trailer axle. How do you get tongue weight and trailer weight? Do you weigh with the Anderson attached or remove that for weighing. I saw a thing called Smart Weigh that weighs each tire, but is only available in Florida, Texas and Arizona. What do y'all do? John

Bill, I ran the fridge on DC both travel days, from Ontario to Evanston, Wyoming and again from Evanston to Denver. The solar panels kept up for the most part and kept the lithium pro package close to starting SOC every day. Do you travel with propane on? When getting fuel do you then turn off the propane? John

Probably will just leave it level in the parking area and hook up in the morning next time. John

We are level while under tow. We live on a hill so when the trailer is unhitched and in the parking area, the nose goes up about 12-18 inches after I unhook to get to level in the parking spot.

John, you're right. We were parked on our hillside all hooked up. I had unplugged from the garage and the refrigerator was full so I ran it on propane for the night. To hook up, the nose goes down about a foot to 18 inches to hook up to the tv. No apparent damage. In the future should I just leave it plugged in if I am getting ready to go in the morning and not use propane at that angle? John

Hi all, we're leaving in the morning and I am all hitched up. We're not level and I am running the refrigerator on propane. Is that a concern? We're currently nose down probably about a foot to a foot and a half down from level at the hitch. TIA John

That's the one we use and it works great. John

That makes sense to put it on the batteries. Good idea. John

A tire pressure monitoring system was the first thing we bought to bring at delivery day. We have the TST and like the monitor on the dash. After you set the parameters, you don't have to watch it as it will alert you if the tire pressure or temperature goes outside of your settings. I think it's a must have item. John

Steve, Did you use alligator clips on the battery terminals? John

How is the booster installed? I haven't installed it yet. Any directions for doing that? TST phone number? John

Sounds interesting. The main thing is to have a tpms with the trailer and you're doing that with this new product. 5-7 year battery life sounds great. John

How long do your sensor batteries last? I bought a package of 12 CR2032 from Costco that were on sale for about $12. I think that I put them on when I picked up our trailer in November last year. Do you just put new batteries in every year or wait for a loss of signal message? If you're not on the road is it still draining the battery? My wife retires in 13 days, so we will be doing more traveling. You two are out a lot. John

A TPMS is crucial to have. Check out TST and compare to the one you posted. It comes with a monitor that you can see on your dash and gives you pressure and temperature readings. We have that one and even though we haven't set up the booster, we have no problem getting the measurements from the Oliver LE 2. I have four sensors for the tv and four for the trailer. Tireminder is another brand. John

I am sorry for the loss of your mom. The engine problems sound awful too. Hope the rest of your year is better. John

Did you have to remove the wheels?

I used the $16.99 one that has a screw on piece and external spring. There are three pieces that are inside the housing. Don't make the mistake that I did and unscrew the piece fully. I lost those three little pieces and had to reorder the piece. I have to finish the job still now that the replacement adapter came. They should warn people to not unscrew that, or maybe everyone except me just knew not to. I don't have experience with the cheaper adapter that you reference. Good luck. John
