TECHNICAL SUPPORT TEAM answered my question -- I will leave it here, for others who might be asking the same. When you plan to decalcify the Truma AquaGo Water Heater AND Sanitize the plumbing system, there is a specific order that this should be done. It's logical, but I wasn't sure about any potential chemical reactions between the one (Truma Decalcification Tablets) and the other (a diluted water & bleach solution). FIRST -- complete the Decalcification process. Then flush the system with clean water. SECOND -- Sanitize the system. REMEMBER to put the system into BYPASS CONFIGURATION for the Water Heater during the Sanitization process. After Sanitization, flush the system TWICE with clean water. THIRD -- Fill the tank with fresh water Shout-out to Chris with Oliver's Technical Department for helping me out with this question this morning.

Generally speaking -- posts like this amaze me. We have a great base of knowledge and know-how here on the forum. Thank you to @Snackchaser and all of our great forum members present and past.

I remember. Our little community is festooned with flags lining the streets. Let us never forget.

So, are you going to the Oliver Rally in October? And are you going to open your Ollie for tours? ;-)

LOL -- I have all my remote controls in there, where Oliver Delivery team placed them -- but also these things: my fire lighters; a clear plastic travel "soap box" that I use to collect miscellaneous "mystery parts" that I find now and then; I keep 'em just in case; sandwich baggie with bulldog clips, paperclips, rubber bands and twist-ties small flat koozies small pliers and a screwdriver with changeable tips; pens, pencils, sharpie markers; small box of magnets; a pad of sticky notes; my extremely condensed "GO LIST" that is my pre-travel checklist -- it sits on top and I only have to take a peek to be sure I'm ready. But I like your use as spice drawer. My spices wouldn't fit in there, though.

Is that below the sink? I have one of those Sand-Free Mats and it's the bomb! I think someone at the Oliver Rally had one. It's heavy but came with a bag.

UPDATE: I scheduled time with First Responder Mobile RV Repair -- the owner is Darrel Kehne. He's retired from the Collier County Sheriff's Office and he and his wife have owned various rigs. He trained with the RV school in Texas last summer (his certifications are on his website). He was extremely nice to work with, very efficient with his time and resolved a number of outstanding items for me. He had heard of Oliver, but had not seen one before. I suggested he come to the rally in October. :) I recommend him, for anyone in this area of Southwest Florida. https://www.firstrespondermobilervrepair.com/ (note, there are a few businesses with this name, in other places...)

That's the approach I plan to take for Alaska.

Congratulations -- that is exciting! Are you heading to Alaska next?

I don't have time to chase it down today, but you might search for recalls on the OTT website -- I don't know if those stay in the feed on the Forum, but that particular recall might be under Oliver Technical Service Bulletins page?

On level concrete, I see. Thanks for the photos -- that makes an impression!

Unfortunately, I can't vouch whether it did or not, but I will check my photos and see if I can find anything. If I can, I will post back here.

I found my receipt from 2023 -- that local place (Horner's in Punta Gorda) charged $90 to replace the stems on all five tires. Compared to the closer place quote of $200, Horner's is a deal.

I know this has been a debate on the forum and I'm not going to get into it (about using the Stabilizer Jacks to jack the Oliver). But to answer your question, I will carry the tire ramp so I can grease my own zerks! It's so easy. Since I travel for months at a time, I track my mileage and care for those zerks all summer.

I was looking at my OTT Service Tickets today and was reminded that Cooper Tire had a problem with valve stems (my Oliver is a 2022) -- they reimbursed the Owners after the stems were replaced (locally done). The service notes include OTT Service Dept's surprise and my dismay at the cost ($90 for the work done here locally in Lee County Florida); OTT Service Dept said it would normally only cost $10 to $25. Anyway, I had forgotten all about that issue with the Cooper tires. Last week, after this forum discussion, I went to a reputable tire place to inquire about getting valve stems replaced (putting in metal where I have rubber)... I can't get my Oliver into their lot, and I'm not allowed to do the work where I store my Oliver, so it was going to require a Mobile Service, and I planned to take my Oliver to a large parking lot 2 blocks from the tire place. They quoted me $250 and when he saw the shock on my face, he explained that the metal valve stems cost $25 each (someone on the Forum just quoted $6 each) and he said he wasn't even charging me for the Mobile service! He offered to do it for $200. Needless to say, I will forgo that for now.
