Yep. I have tried on both my phone and computer. I printed the instructions and followed each step. What is crazy, if I go to my profile, click on edit, the new updated map is there, but it doesn't load. So when I go to one of my posts, the old one is still iny signature. Very strange.

Wonder whether this will affect the purchase of the interior shade frame and shades. We just had one go bad and the string on another is fraying. So it looks like I'm going to need 2 new frames. I believe this is a Lippert supplied product. This could be a big issue moving forward.

Does anyone have an easy way to update your signature map? I have tried both on my phone and the computer. I believe I'm following the instruction. My new map shows up and I save it, yet when I go to one of my posts the old map remains. I have even gone back to my profile, clicked on edit and the updated map is there. For some reason it won't save the new map I did New Mexico in the fall. Any help would be appreciated.

300 Amp Optifuse keeps tripping
John Dorrer replied to aaronorange's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Oliver went to the Large Fuse starting with the 2024 or 2025 trailers. I asked Jason what the cost was with this new system. Maybe $1,200+/-. He suggest I stick with the breaker. Tomorrow I will contort my body to replace the breaker. -

Oliver tested everything and said the breaker is bad. It went bad on 2nd day of ownership. Reset it and all was good and it happened again. Oliver sent a replacement. I went 2-1/2 years and it failed again. I will know on Friday, when I replace it. I will post up after I test it. -

I went to run the AC off the inverter to bring the lithium batteries down to 50%. Then I plugged in and the 20 error code came on. Xantrex got that resolved. When I touched the cables they were hot On our trip we went to fix oatmeal in the microwave. We were at 13.7, and battery SOC was 100%. Set the microwave for 2:15 minutes, and at 30 seconds down to 12.1 and it shut off. 5 minutes later it was back to 13.7. Hoping the new one will cure the problem. The new trailers use a super fuse that is more reliable than the breaker. -

I experienced this last fall. Jason E. checked out at the Texas Rally and it was diagnosed as a bad inverter breaker. Cables got hot. Oliver switched to a fuse in the 2024 or 2025 models and didn't have any more Zoro breakers. I bought 2 and will be replacing it this week. I think you have the same as our 2022 and it is a breaker, not fuse. -
How did everyone wire there fans. Wondered whether the wiring could be wired to a 12-volt plug to use the 12-volt plug in the attic.

We had Oliver install bug screens on the fridge and furnace at original pick-up. -
Each trip there reveals a whole new perspective. We still have a stretch of Blue Ridge Parkway between Boone, NC and Richmond, VA to complete the entire parkway. Last trip was fall of '23, before the devastating Hurricane Helene.

When we get home. Carry 3 water hoses cooler in the bed. This looks like a winner. -
We drove in via Stanley, camping at a beautiful USFS campground on a canyon near the ranger station. Plenty of hot springs. On through Boise to Ponderosa SP in McCall, ID on a beautiful reservoir, and then North and connecting with Hwy. 12. This will get a return visit probably 2026 or 27. Don't miss Crater of the Moon National Monument Beautiful campground in the lava bed.

Our Garmin Explorer is a great safety backup. Never had to use it. At one time when we did off-grid camping, I used it to plot our routes and used it to hike. We would also message our kids. We would set it up so our kids could see where we were at all times.

I can still bend over and screw the quick connect on. No kneeling🤣. I must say, it can be a pain. However, I prefer to do as I do rather than having something sticking out there that is a target of road debris. To risky for me.
