As I currently understand it - the "new" bathroom door will be similar to the closet door in both look and in the hardware that is used for the latch etc.. Also, as with the current door, the large mirror will still be used on the "outside" of the door - the side facing the interior of the cabin. Bill p.s. I think that the "noise" being referred to is caused when opening the door and the magnets don't all release the door at the same time. This causes to door to "vibrate" which, in turn, causes the noise. It is either that or the door hits against the frame when opened or closed causing the noise. Bill

Call NOW! Operators are standing by! 😁

three of a kind.

I'd contact GE for help. Bill

There's a ton of this type of subject material here on the Forum. Try the "search function " at the top of the page and then just follow your nose. Bill

A quick Google search produced this: Damprid Moisture Absorber, Refillable, 10.5 oz, Twin Pack Packing, Solid, White to Off-White, Composition: Calcium Chloride, Sodium Chloride and Potassium Chloride, 2.15 Specific Gravity, OSHA Approved, For Bathrooms, Basements, Clothes Closets, Laundry Rooms, Bedrooms, Offices and Kitchens.

As far as I know - the "active ingredient in DampRid and "like products" is nothing but salt. However, I'm not a chemist - therefore, there may be reactions to salt that I'm not aware of. But, certainly there are no "warning labels" on these products that mention anything with regards to formaldehyde. Bill

Not true - at least in regards to Ford. Perhaps, technically, this statement IS true since I've not recently looked at my Ford Owner's manual. But, there Is a Ford sticker on the hitch assembly that states that a weight distribution hitch IS REQUIRED if the hitch weight (tongue weight) is over 500 pounds. Bill

For what purpose?

Great! Now - mine is on my shop floor, can you come over and finish it for me?😃 Bill

Maybe yours was that "special" Canadian model?😁

Those "tubs" that are available at the $1.25 store are very small relative to the ones I'm talking about. I do place one of those $1.25 jobs in the shower pan, but I also put tow of the larger "re-fillable ones" in the aisle. I know that the large tubs have been available at WalMart in the RV section from time to time. Bill

Yep - the pic above really doesn't do the tailings justice. They are higher, wider and longer than I ever expected. Basically the dredge did what it was designed to do - look for gold - but it basically destroyed a beautiful stream in getting that job done. Strange though that the area was still beautiful even before some of the restoration. Hopefully over the past 5 years the fish have now returned, there is less flooding and the landscape is even prettier than before. Bill

Chip in!

Here in Western North Carolina our winters are a tad milder than yours. The advice from Ollie-Haus above is sound. I use Damp-rid "tubs" so that I can simply use them year after year and just buy the "refill" jugs to keep them topped up during the winter - I only usually all an inch or two once during the winter. Never had a problem with moisture although like Seadawg I too remove my mattress and cushions and rugs for the winter. Bill

Be a bit careful when talking to the "locals" up there in that some of these people wanted that "scar" from the dredge to remain as a memorial to the people that worked on the dredge. Yes, there is still some of the "scar" that is left and the scope of it brought home to me what damage we humans can do to Mother Nature. Note in the first picture that all of the rock visible in the upper left is "tailings" from the dredging. The second picture is the dredge. The third picture is a view of the Sawtooths near Stanley. Bill

Yes - just the trailer (RV). Even some take this to mean just the "box" and NOT from hitch to bumper as we Oliver people measure it. However, the term "always" bothers me in that I'm guessing somewhere out there in the universe there just might be someone that considers the TV into the equation. I've stayed at the Pole Flat campground and there is absolutely no issue with getting in or out with your Ollie. The best campsite is located at the top left of the "circle" in the campground. Since you do not fish then you would also enjoy the ghost town that is located further up the road past the dredge. Some of the repair work on the scar that the dredge left that Trout Unlimited has done in that area is impressive.. Bill

D & M - If you're going to do that then I'd recommend the Forest Service Campground (Pole Flat campground) at 44.30381, -114.71971. The sites in the back of the campground are the best. There is water and pit toilets available and each site has a picnic table. Then, if you camp there (or near there) a stop at the gold dredge is worth it - 44.37747, -114.72261. Fishing along the West Fork of the Yankee Fork can get you a 50 fish day but be prepared for a scramble down the steep bank and then back up that bank - 44.36969, -114.75025. Of course, the fishing in the Salmon River will get you bigger fish but certainly not as many and there will be more people. Also, there are a couple of Hot Springs right along Route 75 if that is your style. Bill

I purchased one of THESE from Harbor Freight to carry around in my truck. I have better quality torque wrenches in my workshop but this one is good enough and accurate enough for the main purpose of torqueing the wheels. Also, if I drop it I will not feel bad given the price. Bill

Another look at this trailer can be seen HERE. With a "powered axle" the base price is $125,000. With no "powered axle" the base price is $105,000. Bill

Primarily the torque wrench is used to check the torque on the lug nuts of your wheels. I check mine prior to leaving on each trip regardless of whether or not the wheels have been off the Ollie for any reason. I'll also check this torque once or twice during a 5,000 mile trip. If the wheels have been off the trailer - annual wheel bearing service or if they are removed for greasing the zerks on the suspension - I will re-check the torque before traveling and then again between 50 and 100 miles and then again that night (or the next morning prior to departing for the day. There are other things that should be checked/torqued (at least annually) such as the jack/stabilizer bolts, the bulldog hitch bolts, the axle bolts, etc. Bill

Reach out to Patriot in this regard. He bought one of these and did a fair amount of research on it prior to the purchase. Bill

One "final" thing to check - though unlikely: The plumbing valve under the kitchen sink area could be stuck thus letting grey tank "fumes" into the cabin. Take the kitchen drawers out and tap on the valve to make sure that it isn't stuck. Bill p.s. let us know the outcome.

I view Sharkbite fittings as an emergency plumbing part. I keep a couple of 3 foot lengths of Pex and a small assortment of Sharkbite fittings in my Ollie - just in case. In the almost 8 years on the road - thankfully - I've never had to use them. Bill
