Sadly, most of the major interstates here in Florida have had tolled sections on them for decades. We also have more miles of toll roads than any other state.... On the plus side, our monthly E-ZPass bill has forced me to drastically cut back on my beer consumption. Thanks Florida!

Well, you're definitely going to need a inch pounds torque wrench, and you can probably get the torque specs off the breaker installation or spec sheet.

Can I tow an Oliver LE2 with a 2006 SR5 Tundra Double Cab?
CRM replied to Dirt Duff's topic in Towing an Oliver
Yep, I have a 2020 Tundra with 4.30 gears and it pulls the LE2 without any problems at all. It does share the same issue that most Tundra's have which is low payload, but we travel light and pack most things inside of the camper anyway. -

Yeah, 4.7 didn't come in that year. Probably the best engine Toyota ever made, though... just a little short on ponies. -
Well, I certainly wouldn't leave it in long enough to get stiff. Felt tighter and buckled slightly after it was installed and warmed back up, so I'm glad I did it.

I'm with you... as long as they are DIY, made of glass and open far enough to make me happy. My windows are already getting "the fog" and I'd rather put the money to repair them towards these new windows if the satisfy my needs.

I think you meant "cooling".. but believe me I think it makes a difference. I put my in the freezer and then forced (compressed) it in as hard as I could and now it's fits just about perfect. Pretty sure I'd have at least a small gap if I hadn't done it this way.
-
I recommend buying them in black. They don't get moldy, well maybe they do but at least it doesn't show... I also recommend putting them in the freezer a little while to shrink them and then fit them in as tightly as you can when you install them. I used this method a while back and no stains or shrink gaps yet.

They definitely look identical, but what is interesting is that the Pioneer has a 3 year warranty while the Turbro only has 1.

So far the Rhino has been working fine, but I don't have a ton of miles on it. I'll order these today. Thanks! -

The receiver used in the video is from my 02 Tundra that I only use to tow my Hobie kayak, though the play is identical in our Sequoia and 2020 Tundra both which have heavier duty factory receivers. 2020 Tundra in the shop, and wife gone with the Sequoia... Also, same exact hitch, just had it in upside down making the video. Edit to add video from Sequoia receiver. new.mp4 -

Fully understand what you're saying, but it did happen for me before the hitch tightener, and my chains are always tight enough to stand on with little rto no movement and it doesn't happen now. Maybe it was side to side movement inside the receiver? -

Without the hitch tightener I had some clunking even with the chains fully loaded. Only happened over humps in the road and during start/stops, but it was there. Edit: Thinking about it.. isn't there really only upward force on the Anderson hitch inside the receiver of the the TV when the chains are tight? With a sloppy fit you could still get movement at times. -

I was getting clunking even before I started using the front jack to raise the TV. One of these fixed it right up. Rhino USA Hitch Tightener -
To prevent this from happening, I removed the bolts that hold the TV bracket to frame and drilled 1/4 holes to accept quick release pins. Takes seconds to remove the TV and cables and then I lay it flat on one of the beds before travelling. Also makes it easy to remove and bring indoors while we're not camping.

Upon further review- While the Amazon site doesn't show any certifications, I decided to check the ETL website and the Airplus *is* ETL certified! No idea why they wouldn't include that in their specs... I hereby remove my red flag @Ollie-Haus. ETL listing

We don't travel with one, so I don't know what else is out there that meets those specs. When not traveling I keep a 22 pint Frigidaire on the shower floor that continuously drains but it's a little too big for a countertop.

Looks like a re-badged Greenland/Turbro and I think you'll be the first one here to install one of these. Planning on buying one myself if/when the price comes back down.

Yes, 2" up from unhitched height. Once chains are snug at this height you should get plenty of tension when you lower the jack. If your TV isn't sitting level when you're done you might have to repeat the procedure by jacking a little higher before snugging the chains. So far I've used the 2" height on two separate vehicles and it worked perfectly for each. -

I've found the easiest way to get the adjustment "just right" is to couple to the TV and then use the front jack to jack the back of the TV up about 2" . I then snug up the chains just enough to take the slack out of them before lowering the jack back down which then adds the needed tension to the chains and keeps the TV sitting level. Seems to work out perfectly every time and there's no tightening force applied to the nut and threads. Edit: This method works great in reverse, too. Just jack up little higher than when you first attached and the whale tail will fall right off after pulling the pin. -
It would be very interesting to see if it works with the Houghton units. Hopefully someone with one will see your solution and give it a shot.

This is from the description on their Amazon store- "Product Usage Instructions: Breez Max connects to a 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi network. It is compatible with any mini-split, window or portable unit that has an IR remote control. If your device doesn't work out of the box, please contact Cielo Customer Support to make it compatible." Looks like any unit that works with an IR remote has a good chance of working with this thermostat. Might have to start a new thread at some point to track what other AC units it actually does work with? Thanks again for this.

That seems like a perfect solution to the "always on" fan issue! Shouldn't this thermostat work for other units that have a remote control to control them?
