Unfortunately, I think the outside faucet was replaced by a prior owner. Pretty cheap looking all plastic unit that I plan to replace before our next trip.
-
Mine still look like brand new, and now I like the way that they work, too! I came very close to replacing them... glad I searched the forums first!
-
I know this a very old post, but I want to thank you for this info.. I've had my LE2 for a year and a half now and had no idea the bathroom faucet worked this manner to adjust between shower and sink use. Boy do I feel dumb! 🤣
-
Yes, I've found the wiring in my 2010 LE2 to be very mysterious myself. No manuals or wiring diagrams available for it either. So far, no issues with troubleshooting, though I do have a couple of switches that I have no idea what they control... I'll eventually get around to labeling all the wiring and building my own diagram.

A friend of mine just replaced bearings on a Nev-R-Lube axle with genuine Timken bearings bought from Summit for $50 each. Same part number on the bearing as OEM. Worth researching if needing replacements or backups.

Way too many products dependent on oil production for that to ever happen .. What will be interesting is what will become of the gasoline produced by the distillation process once the majority of gas vehicles are no longer on the road.. Wouldn't bet against it being used as fuel in power plants to generate electricity for our electric cars.. 😄

I used a heat gun and plastic razor blades to remove mine and it came off fairly easy. Used Goof Off to remove the adhesive residue.

These are the factory cushions we have.. They do have a rubberized waterproof backing on the inside so the cushions themselves never got wet when we were having condensation issues.
-
Wow! Have to wonder if this is even legal..
-
Love to have a fridge that size..
-
I have the original factory cushions. Says they're upgraded on the original invoice, though I have no idea what that means. All I know is they're pretty darn comfortable so I haven't felt the need to replace them.
-
Update- It's been 6 months now and I've had absolutely no issues with moisture or condensation forming under the mattresses. Left one of my dinette cushions without this underlayment as a test and found moisture under it at least 6 times during that same time. Definitely recommend it for anyone looking for a low cost Hypervent alternative..

Was leaning that way but got talked out of it by a couple of friends with more experience than I. Hope they're right!

4 year old Hercules ST225/75R15's. Don't know what caused it but the Belts are definitely torn. The tire is deforming near the cut and is slightly out of round too.
-
No TPMS, though I probably should use them.. I just check them at each fuel stop. I'm getting to the stage where I want less electronic gadgets and motors in my life. 😄 Shopping them now, but leaning towards the Goodyear Endurance in ST225/75R15 based on reviews.
-
I'm obsessive about staying on top of pressures and doing visual inspections of each tire before, during and after every trip and today it paid off. Not sure if it was caused by a defect in the tire or by running over something, but going to stick with my OCD and change all 4. Inspect your tires frequently!

2023 LE II Trailer Weight (Dry), all Oliver options, empty

Thanks for this info. I have the 5200's and have wondered why it was still rated for 7000lbs. -

Definitely makes it easier to upgrade to disc brakes, though not sure it's worth it performance wise. I have 5.2k axles under my LE2 and braking performance is excellent, even when loaded near capacity. -
Something has to give.. The average American can't afford a 1k per month payment for a pickup truck.
-
There is supposed to be a tag on the rear of the axle with the model number on it. If your tag is missing, as mine was, look at the flange where the brake assembly mounts to the axle. If you have 4 bolts in a square pattern they're 3500# axles, and if you have 5 bolts in a in a circular pattern they're 5200# axles.

Removed my Dometic fridge, a couple of concerns
CRM replied to John E Davies's topic in Ollie Modifications
Not so sure that product will work for your application. I've used similar fire barrier sealants in the past to seal cabling conduits and they don't cure like typical sealants do. They cure to a hard clay-like consistency so that the sealant can be easily removed and replaced when additional cables or conduit are added. They also expand when heated, though I don't know at what temp this occurs. -
Some more pictures of the track mount that show a little more detail. Painted the track with white epoxy enamel since last pics and it now blends in much better. The locknuts in the front of the mount are only adjusted once when installing and the two knobs in the back are used to lock the mount in place while traveling and then left slightly loose while in use to allow the easy removal of the TV and access to emergency window. Used a 4" wide piece of white rubberized tape on the back of the mount to prevent marring of the track and add additional grip when traveling.

I have a Coleman 9.2k BTU in my Elite 2 and would replace with the same if/when it decides to give up on me. So far all of my camping has been in my home state of Florida and mostly during hot and humid weather conditions. Pretty much runs continuously on 90+ days, but always brings the temps and humidity down to comfortable levels within an hour or so of setup, and holds it for the duration. Uses around 10amps on AC and 16 amps on the 6k BTU heat strip.
