I see what you did there...

Travel Trailer Insurance
Steph and Dud B replied to Dennis and Melissa's topic in General Discussion
We have a different insurer for the trailer (Progressive). -
The other thing that can make them act strange is low voltage. Are your batteries charged?
-
Never in 24 years of winterizing various trailers. That's a combination CO and propane detector. Make sure your propane tanks are off.

Possible first new Oliver affiliate dealership
Steph and Dud B replied to Ollie-Haus's topic in General Discussion
No specs. The most expensive LE2 is $106k. Single awning, 30# tanks, standard toilet, no bike rack. I'm assuming one of the Lithium packages? The others are around $97k. I assume OTT will have a couple of standard option lists they offer at dealers? -
Also check all your brake wiring and brake operation. I've heard of SOB trailer owners having melted wires and/or damaged brake magnets from this scenario.

Leave Black Tank Drain Valve Open When Flushing!
Steph and Dud B replied to Rivernerd's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Air pressure should not be able to build up in any tank. They should be vented through the roof, even with the dump valve and toilet closed. I suspect the tank and part of the vent stack was completely filled with fluid. That would absolutely create a toilet geyser. -
We just adopted Ollie hull #1147!
Steph and Dud B replied to Heather and Eric's topic in Introduce Yourself
You have our slightly younger sister (we're 1150). Enjoy! -
Steph and I will be handing those out in about 2 months. Can't wait!
-
Best of luck and safe travels, Frank. Enjoy the world we can't reach with wheels.

Our garage is almost done. Just need electrical run and installed before Eggcelsior can move in. Hoping to have it indoors before the first real snowfall.

Parking in/near Washinton DC
Steph and Dud B replied to Coastal Aggie's topic in Campgrounds & Parks
Don't know about any commuter lots or other free parking but we've stayed at Cherry Hill Park campground in Maryland. They had a city bus stop in the campground that took you to the Metro for the trip into the city. Maybe they have an overflow lot or something similar you could use. -
I don't think this is correct. Setting #28 limits the maximum draw of the converter section to X amps, with preference going to any internal 120v loads before the balance goes to the converter for battery charging. For instance, if it's set to 15A, and you have 5A of internal loads (TV, cell chargers, etc.), 10A will be used to charge the batteries. They'll still charge, but slower. I've done this many times when connected to a small generator or to a 15A circuit. Look at it this way: your solar panels still charge the batteries and they don't come anywhere near 150A of charging current. Limiting setting #28 to 15A will slow charging but not stop it unless you have 15A of other draws running in the trailer.

Yeah, it does that. Try turning a wifi hotspot on on your cell phone, then connect the TV to your hotspot. Once it's connected, you'll be able to switch back to antenna. Next time, make sure you're on antenna before turning it off. It always tries to go back to Wi-Fi if that's where you left it last time you used it.

Electrical Outlets Not Working
Steph and Dud B replied to Cort's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
If you have an inverter, which I assume you do since you have solar, you need to turn it on to power the 120v outlets when you don't have shore power. Our inverter is a Xantrex and pushing the silver button on the control panel in turns it on. Note that the inverter is a fairly large battery draw. -

No heat strip in our 2022 Dometic A/C. Hull 1150. Wish there was.
-
We can run our Dometic A/C with our 2000W Honda generator but it's my understanding that a 3000W generator is needed to run the Truma A/C because it doesn't have the soft-start feature.
-
We've camped in humid 90s a few times. The Dometic A/C on our trailer quickly brings the interior into the 70s and keeps it there, even in full sun. It is loud, though.

Valve configuration printout

Take a photo of it? -

There's a thread about this somewhere. Did you travel shortly after applying the sealant? Our rear window sealant, new from the factory, did that on the way home from Hohenwald. Apparently, street grime stuck to it. I haven't been successful cleaning it, either.
