About 8 years ago I had an electrician add a 30amp box next to the fuse/breaker panel, and wire a dedicated switch on the panel box. Kinda like plugging into the shore power post and flipping the breaker He also added 2 twin 120 plugs, each pair with a breaker in the box. Been very handy.

Cougar Rock looks good, but I'm getting mixed signals on whether it is bookable or FF. Strange things on Recreation.gov I'll know on Wednesday when I book. Thanks for the list. I should have checked the Dyrt 🙃

We have had the Garmin In reach Explorer. Nice security. We haven't had any issues today.

3500 pound versus 5200 pound axles on a LE2
John Dorrer replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
They have #1290, late 2022 or more likely a 2023 trailer. Our #1045 is a 2022. He needs to look at the label more closely, as it should say 052 capacity, rated 3500 (Due to 4-leaf springs). -
What would be the top 1-2 campgrounds in the park? Thanks

052 is the axel capacity, and the rating is 3500 due to the 4-leaf springs. -

John Dorrer replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
If I recall my conversation with Oliver and Dexter we have the updated axel, 052:3500. If I remember it is the 4-leaf spring which gets the 3500, so when you get the 5-lead springs you will meet the 5200 axel. Again you would need to verify this. You shouldn't need to change out your axels. -

I believe the 2022's have the higher rated axel. Check the label on the axel. The 2022's have the Never-Lube. -
It re-set itself on the drive today, so I'm not going to touch things until I get home and order the replacement inverter breaker.

Made them go street side to their assigned set-up area. The funny thing is they have a large outdoor TV street side. I sincerely think they felt very entitled as yesterday check out was 11am and they stayed 2-1/2 hours past check out🙃

Sorry to hear that. See you in 2026.

I had and issue with our Inverter back in October. Jason was at the Texas Rally and came to a couple conclusions While at the Mothership, they determined it was the inverter breaker. They didn't have a replacement anywhere. Since we would be plugged in, I told them I would order one when we got home. Today I checked my Lithonics App and batteries were 100%. When I checkedt Xantrex phone app it said 25% SOC. When I looked at the Xantrex Remote the green light wasn't on showing we were connected to shore power. I went under the bed and the inverter breaker wasn't tripped. I tripped it and re-set it. Still no lights on the remote. I pushed the top button the remote and the 20 error code came up. How do I resolve the 20 error code? It is still blinking.

Therma-Cells for the win. Used them for the past 15 years. We have 3. Keep the Mosquitos at bay.

After 40 years of camping I thought I have it all. NOPE. We are camped at Mustang Island State Park in Corpus Christi, TX. The campground is a bit quirky as half the sites have the table, shelter, grill, and fire pit on the usual curb side of the trailer, while the other half are located on the back side (street side). There are 2 table areas side by side, so a large space between trailers. Elsewhere there is a small buffer are where the electric hookups are. On the first night our neighbors on the street side decided to set-up in the buffer area and invite friends over. They set up their fire pit on our site, propane tank 4' from our trailer and fire pit about 4.5' from our trailer. They set up several chairs 2' from our trailer and under the dinette window. They also had a spot lite on the was aimed at our window. Turns out they have a big outdoor TV on the street side. What the HE__ were they thinking? The Ranger observed this and had conversation with the husband. The wife came flying out of the trailer and injected herself in the conversation. In the end they moved to where they should have been. Very rude, but a good laugh.

Welcome from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli. My wife is a Longhorn🤘

I believe the new door is fiberglass. For older trailers the entire bathroom wall would have to be replaced for the new door, which has rounded corners. I forget what Oliver said the price was to retrofit. It wasn't cheap. I remember the conversation with Oliver and the process was quite involved. I would contact Oliver for the latest info.

CO/propane gas detector replacement
John Dorrer replied to rideadeuce's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Late last year a number of us experienced the alarm going off after winterizing with RV Antifreeze. I purchased the same one and used small Wago connectors. The install was easy. However I must have touched wire ends, as there was no power to the unit. Turns out I blew the fuse for it. This fuse is under the street side bed, below the 3 jack fuses and is black. I also carry a battery operated one as back up. -
Overfilled propane tank warning.
John Dorrer replied to Steve and MA's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Young kid at the hardware store over filled my 30lb tank. When I got home I noticed a problem and ended up releasing pressure some. Now I go to Tractor Supply. -
We had our Truma burner unit replaced yesterday. Oliver is only getting 15-20+/- burner replacements every 3-4+ weeks. It is going to be a long process. As their letter stated you can get it done by an approved Truma repair company and Oliver will reimburse you. Oliver was very proactive on this and unfortunately a number of Owners have been disrespectful to Oliver Service. Just hook up and go camping. Things will get done.
