A couple of years ago a friend of mine had a bearing fail on his work trailer with the never lube axles. He was able to get a new Timken bearing through Summit for around $50 which is far less than Dexter charges for their Chinese bearings. He said they use these same bearings on some production cars.

We've found that using a simple box fan blowing across our outdoor seating area is the best way to stay mosquito free. Seems to keep them out of the Ollie too.

Interesting.. Cooler is always better, though we don't know the condition of the standard 30 amp plug he was testing against. He was also loading at 24 amps which just happens to be the exact maximum continuous (3 hour) load rating of a 30 amp circuit. Would have been nice to see if the temps varied even further if loaded to a full 30 amps for the hour test.

Thanks. I've never even seen one of the Truma units before. Since it's on-demand it makes sense that it doesn't have an electric option.

The Truma is propane only?

I suggest reading through the Yelp reviews on LazyDays.

The CL900 also does and all the way up to 2000 amps. 😮

I have 3 clamping multimeters and all 3 measure AC and DC amperage. One of the better ones I have is a Klein Tools CL390 which is around $100. Edit-Just took a quick look on Amazon and couldn't find a clamping meter that didn't do both AC and DC amperage. Might want to check your meter's documentation to verify that it doesn't actually measure DC amps.

I knew I shouldn't have done it, but I decided to go down the rabbit hole of looking up the actual law in the CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) based on the DOT 4BA type tanks I have and found these recertification guidelines. Adds even more confusion, but I'm still having it done at 10 years anyway!

Just called a propane dealer in my area and they told me that there's a lot of confusion to the Federal law. It was originally 12 years, then changed to 10 a few years back at which point the propane industry made noise and DOT sent out an order to not enforce the new 10 year ruling. But 10 is what the Federal law actually says so better to get it done at ten, IMHO.

It's 12 years in my neck of the woods with a 5 year extension after recertification.

To remove our graphics I used a heat gun set on low while working the vinyl off slowly with a plastic razor blade. Not moving too fast was critical since whenever I tried moving a little faster the vinyl would end up ripping and coming off in small pieces which slowed the whole process down. Cleanup of the remaining residue was done with Goo Gone.

Usually only one of the HDMI inputs on a TV are labeled "ARC". You might want to check that the HDMI cable coming from your stereo is plugged into it.

Sorry about the wacky text formatting. I copied and pasted from another group I posted this to and was using a black screen theme on my browser. Edit. Fixed formatting

For anyone thinking about purchasing one of Hughes Autoformer units, you my want to wait a little longer. I had a conversation with a Hughes representative a couple of days ago and he informed me that a new Autoformer will be released within 1-3 months called the "Watchdog Power Center". It will have Bluetooth and WIFI connectivity and will be slightly larger than the current power boosting units are. If you already have an internally mounted Autoformer you will need to install a new mounting bracket for the Power Center.
