Has there been any info on the Dometic FreshJet AC installs? I couldn't find the posts. Thought there were two owners that switched.

We got home from a shorty trip and to reload for the rally. Trailer was plugged in. A couple hours after getting back, I took stuff out and found the fan beeping. It was off. I pulled the remote out, and before turning it on I took a video. Once turned on the beeping continued for a minute. I looked at the remote and it appeared the battery level in the remote was low. Turned off the fan, checked the batteries and they were below green. New batteries. Turned fan back on. No problems. Is it possible the fan determined low batteries and the beeping was a warning? I find that to be a stretch

Picked up trailer 3/22. Got hearing aids 12/23. This week was our 3rd trip since getting the hearing aids. I sleep on curbside bed. I would sit down or lay down and the picture started pixelating, no sound then it went black. I can sit in the dinette and watch TV or stand in the aisle. I placed the hearing aids in the charger on the nightstand, thinking they were off and just charging. Thought the Bluetooth in the hearing aids were causing the issue. I moved the charger to the dinette and my phone to the outlet over the stove. No further issues. Anyone experience anything like this?

Another great place is Canal Campground, COE. Great water views, and lots of barge traffic. Just off I-24 at Grand Rivers.

ASI 335 is what Oliver used to caulk the windows and other penetrations -

Thank You Rodney. Changes are hard. Appreciate your efforts and the Oliver Team for re-evaluating the earlier decision. -
Is it possible to convert one of the two 110 exterior plugs to 12v?

Wonder how long to tow an Oliver LE-2 coast to coast,maybe 3-4 weeks🤣

We use Blaster products. We have both the silicone and Multipurpose. I use the silicone one on the steps

Take the screw to Home Depot, Ace Hardware, or other hardware store and you should find a similar screw, just get a slight larger screw. You might purchase 2 different sizes to insure one grabs the fiberglass. That is very strange. Did you remove the inverter face for some reason previously?

We have TST Flow Thru

We have had a Goal Zero 400 Lithium power pack for 4-5 years. I got it as a back up to run my CPAP if home power goes out. I have taken it on every camping trip from truck camper to Oliver. I store it in the closet. I used the other night when we had severe storms for my CPAP and we charged our phones and my hearing aids. When we take our truck fridge, I use it overnight to power the fridge, and then plug it into 12-volt in the truck to charge it back up. I have their solar panel that I can take, but I find it bulky to take on a trip.

The rubber ones move a lot while driving and we had one developed a small leak. TST say metal stems We switch and haven't had an issue. We used Clark Tire, a large truck tire place. They supplied and installed. I would be concerned with a major failure with rubber. My 2¢

We use the Andersen levelers. I had kinda the perfect storm of owner error. I should have backed up onto them with the thicker end to the back.
-
Didn't have enough chocks and my wife didn't place the Andersen ramp leveler wedges in the correct place. It was a cluster of han error. I will also start greasing the ball. Watched a bunch of YouTube videos. I think this was a case of big time owner error🙃
-
You hit the nail on the head. My wife placed the plastic wedges on the wrong side of the Andersen Levelers. That was just a few of the errors that were made. Next time we will bring our "X" chocks We will also grease the ball. After watching several YouTube videos, I believe that might be a good reason the bulldog doesn't come off the ball smoothly.

F250, no Anderson WD. We use Andersen jack blocks (round ones) and the Andersen ramp levelers for side to side. This is the 3rd campground in a row we needed to level side to side and all 3 times the trailer jumped.
-
I must be doing something wrong. Today unhitching on a slight downgrade, we got Jolli Olli level, set chocks and raised the tongue. The truck and trailer appeared to be lined up. When the bulldog came off the ball, the trailer lerched sideways close to 1-1/2' and back a foot, with the front jack block sliding and the front jack almost coming off the block. This is the worst I have ever seen. We have this happen on a regular basis (not bad like today, but almost every time we unhitch) and don't know how to stop the tension and lerching. I have to believe the bulldog should be able to lift off the ball smoothly. Thanks for any advice.

Day/Night Window Shade Questions
John Dorrer replied to rideandfly's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Gotta tell you, reading this made me dizzy🤣🤣 I've been following this. Great job on the repair and for being very determined to. I would say that was at least a 3-beer job, but likely a 24-can job. Safe to say, I have no desire to do what you did😎 -

Nice👏👏 -
We were thinking about a tour, but at $55+ per person, and the fact neither drink bourbon, we opted to explore downtown Bardstown
