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

Here's the slop I'm dealing with... b0ab04c9-bdd0-40b2-9d67-d2a3d061489d.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?

So, if I'm understanding this correctly, this thermostat shuts down the fan and compressor together by sending a "shutdown" signal to the unit by mimicking off button on the unit's remote?

I understand all this, I was just wondering how you came up 17 pounds being the minimum weight. I would hope that if Alcan designs a spring with a 2000# rating that it would perform as expected and exceed what is required for an LE2 no matter the weight of it. I'm running on 16 year old springs at the moment, that thankfully don't show any of the typical Dexter flattening near the eyes, but want to upgrade soon myself and I'm a little worried about installing springs rated for nearly double the weight we usually travel at. 2000# Alcan's seem like a perfect match but now I'm a little nervous and and asking questions due to your opinion on the weight of them...

Interesting, though I don't think I could ever get used to the looks of it...

Why the focus on the weight of the spring and where does this number come from? I admit that I know nearly nothing about leaf spring tech, but shouldn't the weight rating of the spring and the quality of the steel and construction be all that really matters?

Still a better option than mine. Same monthly price but you're getting a dedicated tracking device.

Looks good, though for the $7 per month subscription you only get notified once per hour when it's moving. To get one minute notifications it costs $15 per month with a yearly contract.

I was thinking about doing that myself but I read if someone is traveling close to it for a while their phone will be alerted that there's an air tag near them.
