And, still have the best looking uniforms (IMO). Bill

Strange - I thought that the "new" alarm units were the propane/CO combination units. At least on the older Elite II's the "smoke detector" that is usually located in the back street side corner is a combination smoke/CO detector which takes care of the fact that CO is lighter than air. Bill

Actually the stuff that Oliver has used for insulation has been similar to Reflectix but instead of being basically "bubble wrap" in between the foil it is a foam composite of some sort. Here are a few pictures which show how and where this is applied to the shells prior to them being joined together. Bill

I'd love to join you! But, even if you offered to pay the speeding tickets I don't think I could make it in time from Western North Carolina.😁 Bill

I had previously heard (and it was discussed here on the Forum) that the touch lights were not going to be present on the 2024 models. However, I've not heard anything additional on this subject. Bill p.s. It has also been confirmed that the upper fridge vent on the exterior of the Ollie will not be there anymore - i.e. the outside shell will be smooth. However, the bottom fridge vent that turned into a collapsible table will continue to be the table.

I do not have "touch lights" but I really do like both the idea and execution of these shades. Nice thinking and doing! 👌 Bill

Hard to believe.

I don't know if there is any magnet(s) on the new doors or not. But, I'm assuming that the other hardware - the latch - will be similar to the latch that is on the closet door. Yes - mine operates as it should. However, particularly if the camper is a fair degree out of level, the strip of magnet at one corner or the other may not "release" at the same rate as the rest of the door. This can cause the door to vibrate as apparently VBistro is mentioning. The solution(s) to this problem is to either correct the alignment of the door or open the door more slowly or reduce the amount of magnetic attraction that is occurring. Of course, if you reduce the amount of magnetic attraction then you might be in trouble going down the road if you forget to use the latch or some other means to secure the door. Bill p.s. Mike - this only has to do with the bath door being opened and nothing to do with it being held open.

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.
