Effective 8/1/2024 there are new pet requirements. There are now documents that must be filled out by your vet. The problem isn't going into Canada, it is coming back into the US. The US will not allow your dog back into the US for twenty-five days without the required documents. Review the documents and have your vet familiar with them.

So would the 9/16 equate to 3" axel?

2022 LE2, Xantrex 3000, Lithonics batteries. Back at the end of May I discovered the inverter mounting board had pulled away from wall. I removed old adhesive and rubbed everything with alcohol. I applied the suggested Gorilla Adhesive. I wedged the inverter back against the wall and left it like that for a week. Success. However, in the process I must have hit the button for the inverter. A year ago, while on the phone with Oliver, and seeing the main inverter screen was lit. Oliver it should be off. I pushed the button on, and the button lit up. The screen was off. Should the button be lit? Also, I'm plugged in at the storage place, and when I checked the batteries, they were at 100% SOC and I opened the phone app for the inverter and all was well there. I just didn't remember the inverter on/off button being lit up, but then I would think it would need to for the remote to work. Comments appreciated. Want to make sure I have it right. Thanks, John

Great write up Steve. Thanks.

The homework on Alcan 5-leaf springs has been done for you😊

Within 5 minutes of texting Dexter with a screen shot of the axel label, I got a text and an e-mail with the document attached. Wow! Thanks for the suggestion.

Our trailer is a 2022, picked up on 3/10/22, with the Easy-Flex. I would assume ours is the same, but I will confirm.

We have a 2022, so I'm keeping a close look on our springs. When we do switch it will be to Alcan. Somewhere I read that we need to supply the axel diameter to Alcan. Can someone confirm this Can Oliver confirm the diameter or do I just take a string and then measure. What has everyone done? Thanks.

In the past week there have been four (4) reported spring failures. The trailer years might not be exact, but if I remember correctly 2015, 2019(2), and a 2021. That's a lot in a short period of time.

Where do people get their torque wrenches calibrated? I have read they should be calibrated every year I have had no luck finding a place near me. Searches end up the wrench to be shipped to them. Hoping there is a nationwide company people use that is in the Indianapolis area.

This is what we use, and a small can and a couple of small brushes.

+2 on touch up with Rust-Oleum.

Thinking you could wire to the street side awning switch, if you don't have the street side awning.

Thank You. We had a bad inverter breaker 2 days after pick-up. Mike hade reset it and all was good until 2 months later. The breaker tripped again and they sent me a replacement. All has been good and I have used our microwave on the inverter I will file this away. Did you also turn off solar and the inverter prior to disconnecting?

We camped at the South NP campground. The visitor Centre is there, access to the bottom of the canyon is also there. Beautiful campground and Loop B has electric. Access to Montrose is very close. If I remember the North campground and park access is off the beaten path. I chose South over North based on several recommendations, so I can't compare one to the other

Our upper vent (2022 LE2) had a slot and a mobile RV guy said it should be sealed and he fixed it, and I confirmed with Oliver. The fan would be installed right on the backside of the Oliver cover. Don't have our trailer at home, so I can't check it. If you only have one awning, there is a switch for a street side awning that could be used for the fan (s).

There are 2 issues. First when you open the door, the cold drops out. You learn to know what you need, open, grab, and close,🙃 Fact of life. The small fan will be a benefit in either a compressor fridge or absorbsion fridge. It circulates air in the fridge, and will have "Zero" negative affect. In our truck camper, we built a shade to provide shade over the 2 vents. 2023 LE2 has one (1) vent and the 2024 LE2 has none as it vents to the interior. Earlier models have the absorbsion fridge and 2 vents. Suggest that you add 2 computer fans behind the upper vent screen if you have a LE2 2023 or earlier. Someone will have to assist with how to wire. The fan I installed in our truck camper behind the upper vent, along with the battery operated fan in the fridge made a huge difference. One learns to park to lessen the sum exposure to the curb side of the trailer. A shade over the vents all will help.

+2. We got to the Rally and had no television. We also have a 2022 E2 and went under the rear dinette seat to check the backside of the fuse panel and found wire had pulled loose. Suspect it was major bump on I-24 near Nashville on the way to Guntersville. Plugged it back in and all was good.

Congrats from Hull #1045, Jolli Olli

Like a taxi way at the airport, blue and green 🤣

Sweet

We have done 6 weeks 2-3 times and that is about my wife's limit. We are planning a longer trip for August 2025 into Canada and the West coast.

Yellowstone never gets old.😊
