Even though the Predators are well-regarded I would be reluctant to replace a Honda with one. Honda is the gold standard for portable generators. (We're still using our 16 year old Eu2000i.) Can your Honda be repaired, or is this a capacity problem?

20 years ago we took the 101 from Cape Disappointment State Park in WA to Petaluma, CA towing a 26' travel trailer without any problems. It was a beautiful drive back then.

I have a similar set of keys on my RV key ring. One morning I left it on the bumper after hitching up and drove away, using my Truck keyring. Retracing my steps I found what was left of them in the road, run over by a hundred cars. Surprisingly the only ones beyond repair were the ring itself (pretzel), the key fob to my bicycle alarm (completely disintegrated), the round hitch pin key, and the trailer door key. Fortunately I had spares for the hitch and door.

We've seen lots of awnings trashed by wind, usually when left out while the owners were away somewhere. We never leave our awnings out when we're not present and alert, even overnight. That said, we love our dual electric awnings. When camping in hot weather, I try to park the trailer in a North-South orientation so we have maximum shade on the trailer body. In the morning I deploy the East side awning, then the West side in the afternoon. Works really well.

Is there a significant difference between Gen 1 and Gen 2?

The trailer dry weight posted online is for a fully stripped down LE2 with no options. As delivered, ours actually weighed 5565 pounds. That's still without water and gear. Also, subtract the weight of any passengers and any cargo in your truck from the Tundra's tow rating. You'll probably be over the limit when set up to camp. I wouldn't do it, personally, and I'm positive you wouldn't enjoy it if you were towing in the mountains. I've towed trailers on the edge of my truck's limit before. It struggled on step grades and I eventually had to replace the torque converter.

Try letting the hot and cold water run for a while. Sometimes when switching from city water to pump we get air in the lines with the same symptoms: faint pump noise and very little flow. If we let both the hot and cold run a bit, usually via the outside shower, it clears up.

Try contacting Parts at Oliver. They can probably answer your question or even sell you one.

Pretty common with these RV doors.

It was always up and locked when it happened. The cause was the cheap mounting bracket OTT used. When tightened during installation, the mounting bracket ears warped, pulling away from the back of the TV and stressing the plastic. We were still under warranty so OTT sent us another TV. Then I put the mounting bracket into a vice and bent it forward a bit so, when tightened, it sat flat against the back of the TV. Been fine ever since.

That's the way to do it. We try to plan routes with Google-estimated 4 hour travel times or less. Much more relaxing.

Hello to the Elite 1 in Hammonasset State Park. We're on the other side in Area 1, T11. Feel free to stop by!

The Girard awnings on our 2022 are not supposed to be left open in the rain. Girard explicitly states not to have them partially open in the rain, either. I would prefer swing out acrylic windows for sure.

Reviving this thread. Now that we're doing more shoulder season camping and using the Oliver more while closed up we're getting more frequent propane/CO alarms from the sensor below the dinette. Like @johnwen above I can feel cold air entering around the top of the fridge and we have the same large gap above the fridge behind the top service vent that he has. I can look straight in and see the back of the fridge control panel from outside the trailer. I'm convinced we're getting exhaust gasses blown in that way and intend to seal it up with aluminum tape unless anyone can give me a good reason air should be allowed to flow through there.

We did our spring trip to the southeast central US this year without reservations more than 1 or 2 days in advance. Mix of Harvest Hosts, state, federal, and a few commercial campgrounds. Worked out fine.
