What exterior caulk is the factory using now?
John Dorrer replied to Townesw's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
JD, I hope the no caulk works for you. I think you are making a big mistake. The tape caulk/rope used to hold the windows in place isn't designed for UV exposure. The sealant applied by Oliver is a secondary line of defense and designed to protect the tape caulk from UV exposure.. The tape caulk/rope will fail and you most likely would have to pull the windows, and start over. Living in Arizona you will have an accelerated deterioration. I spent 40 years designing sealant systems, for exterior work. High-rises, schools, and many more. -

We got 5 years out of 2-12 volt AGM's before needing new ones. The thing to remember is 12.2-12.3 is the lowest you want to go It takes only one time below 12.2/12.3 to cause damage. Some might get lucky, but I know several people who destroyed their AGM's after one low draw.

Very nice JD, ๐๐๐๐

I have never had an issue receiving parts from Oliver. I send an e-mail first to: support@olivertraveltrailers.com I usually hear back from Mike Sharp within 24 hours. This is a standard part and Oliver should be able to send a replacement, cost + shipping. What is meant by "Oliver was unable to help"? You can order parts from Oliver.

Yep. I forgot to mention the awning wall switch needs to be on. ๐ -

Has this been resolved? -
Please edit and correct typos. Are these notes from the original Owner? Please add your trailer year to your signature. If the notes were from the original owner, I would be on the phone with him to get as much info as you can to share with the group.

Riley Creek COE, just West of Sandpoint, ID, off of US Highway 2, is one of the nicest COE parks we have camped at. Beautiful sites. We had site #8. Great spacing between sites. Their Day Use area has many shelters and the grounds have a sprinkler system. Looked like a golf course over last Labor Day weekend. They have a beautiful swim beach, boat launch, and Dog Island, where your pets can run and swim. Hope we can get back there again. Water and Electric

That closet is a valuable space for us. I bet in 4 years, we have only used our shower 1-2, just using the campground showers.

Ours is 7 years old and keeps going. $1,300+ for another 50L National Luna probably wouldn't be in the cards. I would most definitely do my homework if I needed to buy again. I believe there are other good choices, but I don't know what the price comparisons are. As far as product goes National Luna is the top of the line. I hope I don't have to purchase another one.

It came highly recommend by an off-road group I was active with in my truck camper days. I'm sure there are some quality top loading fridge/freezers out there. Back when I was looking the Dometic unit had an issue with their low voltage cut-off that would shut the unit down before it came close to low camper battery. That just didn't work for us, since we were in the back country for a week at a time. Never had an issue. Reviews and word of mouth would be a big help. If I was buying now, I doubt I would have purchased the National Luna. Having the choice of all fridge or fridge/freezer is the big thing as far as I'm concerned. Hope that helps

Our 2022 LE2 has a Norcold Absorption fridge. At one point there was a switch from Dometic Absorption to Norcold. We had an issue diagnosed as an AC Element failure. It was covered by Norcold's warranty and replaced at a Norcold approved RV Dealer. We were able to use DC when we were plugged into shore power or LP, so it didn't affect or use of the fridge. This topic will hopefully provide some good suggestions. For now, I will be interested in what others have to say. I would have no idea what to stock up on. Will RV Dealers be able to stock items? Norcold would only ship the AC Element to an approved Norcold Dealer that I selected. They let me know they had the part and scheduled an appointment back in 2023.

I believe the fiberglass is covered for 5 years by Oliver.

Highway Trailer Sales in Salem, OR greased our zerks, and has a very good service department. I would go back in a heartbeat if we were going to be in Oregon again. Not in Western Washington, but considerably closer than Hoenwald, TN.
