  1. Or - simply click HERE for that link to "Improved Toilet Rinsing".
  2. Perhaps now would be a great time for readers/posters to this thread (and other threads) to re-read the Forum Guidelines. I believe that it was Bugeyedriver that last referred everyone to these Guidelines back in 2024 with THIS POST. Bill
  3. Very nice with the vents in the fridge basically matching those in the microwave. Like the additional insulation in the compartment too. Nice job! Bill
  4. Can we assume that you paid attention to the warning on that label - "do not destroy this label" - and it is presently sitting in a place of honor in your workshop?🤣 Bill
  5. I'm guessing that there are a bunch of kids in the pool here.😇 Bill
  6. OK then, how about MRS.?😁
  7. Why do I see a lost phone in the future?
  8. If you start with 3 beers it makes the process go a bunch easier - you don't give a ....! Bill
  9. Carl - I assume that you have viewed THIS thread that has several relevant post to what you are doing/thinking. Specifically - the KYD install of a DC to DC system on their rig. Bill
  10. THIS week's KYD post addresses their opinion on this subject. Bill
  11. David & Gail - If these marks really bother you then I think that you have basically two choices: 1 - Make an appointment with the guys at CGI detailing. I certain they can get it better than new for you. 2 - Polish it our yourself. If you want to go this route (I would) I'd suggest starting with a fairly light polish such as Meguiar"s Ultimate Polish - THIS STUFF. If this doesn't do the job then I'd up the ante to something like Shurhold Buff Magic Compound - THIS STUFF. I believe one of these two will allow you to buff out this stain by hand. After you polish apply protection to the surface with the wax of your choice. Bill
  12. That's a bummer that you don't have a bigger covered picnic area! 🤣 Looks nice - any fish in that pond? Bill
  13. For the amount that I use any of the four potable water hoses I presently have I'm too "cheap" to simply throw any of them out. I did buy one of those Zero G hoses a couple of years ago to be used when needed for length and/or as a backup in the event something happened to the other one I carry. However, when it comes time I'll certainly look at this Gorilla.
  14. For a number of years I've had a similar hose - but - it is not any more pliable than a regular round hose and it gets a bit stiffer just like a regular round hose. Therefore, if you are in the market for one of these "flat" hoses I'd suggest sticking with this recommended brand. Bill
  15. Boy - I can just taste that beer you owe me. Cracking it open on that deck overlooking the lake would be awesome! Bill
  16. I have a different controller - but - have you checked the data connection in the back of the controller? Usually this is a simple "plug" that is similar to a telephone jack. I'd try to unplug and re-plug it to see if that helps. This has been a "problem" for many of these types of instruments usually because this connection either gets loose or dirty. Bill
  17. Basically this procedure is simple - but - I sure would not want to do it. Disassemble the rear area where the bumper is attached, disconnect the tank from its fittings to internal plumbing and from where it is attached to the interior frame, slide the tank out the rear. The black tank is a bit different. Bill
  18. Sorry, I must have missed your mentioning the scuppers in your post. They do act like drain holes in the event of a leak. However they also act like vent holes particularly when you are moving down the road - much like scupper holes in a boat. Using the Venturi effect a difference in air pressure is caused between the outside air and the air between the hulls. This, in turn, draws air through the area between the hulls and out the scuppers thus drying the area between the hulls. The faster you drive, the more air that is drawn out. Physics. Bill
  19. Actually - Most of that "tick up" in pricing was due to the way "floor inventory" is priced and financed by lending institutions for dealers - just like automobile showroom inventory. However, while I've never seen an actual dealer contract, I do understand that there is language in those contracts that strongly encourages uniform pricing no matter where a customer buys their new Oliver. Bill
  20. Note the "scupper holes" on the bottom of the outside hull. These are meant to draw any moisture that is trapped between the two hulls to the outside and as with a boat this effect gets greater the faster you travel down the road. However, unless you vent the interior (well) you will likely encounter situations where the interior of the Ollie can get humid. There are many ways to combat this since it is caused by the inability of the basic fiberglass to "breath". Bill
  21. Battery prices are falling - fast. Compitition is a good thing. Also, the RV market (both new and used) is still not in good shape after the Covid panic buying. Hopefully things stabilize soon. Bill
  22. This is not too bad in that for most vehicles the towing gas mileage will range from 10 to 15 mpg depending mostly on the altitude and terrain traveled. Thanks for the report on the Sequoia. Bill
  23. Nice rig and great campsite! I failed to see those dualies on the rear at first glance. Surely you have a bunch of capacity in the rear of that thing. Can you open the rear doors while hitched? How crowded was the State Park? Is there a swimming beach? Bill
