Insert between steps two and three: "Open a hot water faucet to relieve pressure." Otherwise, you may be sprayed with pressurized scalding water when opening that yellow lever! For in between situations, we opted for the Truma anti-freeze kit, which keeps the heating vessel warm to avoid freezing. We've used it frequently when it is close to freezing before leaving home or when we're on the road and can't run the trailer heater.

Thanks, that's good information, and will save me a step whenever I get around to doing this.

That came out great! It almost looks like it came that way. You mentioned that newer cameras came with hoods, but the one on my 2023 did not. This project will be added to my long list of modifications I want to make once it warms up. For material, Kydex might be an option. It is a moldable sheet frequently used in custom holster/sheath making. I've never fiddled with it (I like leather), but it should be a good option. https://www.amazon.com/s?k=kydex+sheet&crid=DUJIHI52K2HN&sprefix=kydex+sheet%2Caps%2C156&ref=nb_sb_noss_1

I'll be curious to see if you shielded the bottom as well. Those three amber running lights make the camera nearly useless at night; especially in the rain.

The agenda has been posted on the rally page and the link has been added to the first post. There are currently several TBA slots, so it looks like the schedule is still fluid. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/events/oliver-owners-rally/ Also, for any of you on the Facebook group, Aaron Wolters has added a post requesting information on owner-led seminars folks want to have. https://www.facebook.com/groups/OllieOwners/posts/1616240385447743/

Airhead had a connection kit on their options page last year. I just looked to link it, and it is no longer there. All they offer now is a fitting for the bottom of the urine bottle. https://airheadtoilet.com/usa-shop/

Several have modified the toilet to drain the liquids into the black tank. The folks that showed us their trailer before we ordered ours had just completed the job that day. I remember that one member here had changed the bathroom sink to drain into the black tank, as well, to avoid urine crystallization problems. Plus, that saves some of the gray tank space. If/when we switch to an AirHead toilet, those are the modifications I plan to make.

You'll want the graphics on before they do the ceramic coating, else it won't stick. Plus, the ceramic coating over the graphics helps protect them. If you let them know ahead of time what you're doing, I'd imagine they would polish the top front first to give you time to apply the graphics before coating.

Updated as of noon Sunday, February 11. We're up to 52 contributors so far this year. There were 75 by the time the rally rolled around last year, so I'm hoping for more as it gets closer. Thanks for participating.

Please check with your region's representative and let us know what you find. What is disturbing if true, is that I could be travelling through a region where two tow trucks would not be sent, and I'd be up a creek!

For what it's worth, the RV Miles camping news YouTube channel is reporting that Camping World, the owner of Good Sam, might be in the process of selling off the Good Sam brand. That may or may not be a good thing if true. I'm a 54 year member of AAA, getting my original coverage from my grandparents for my 16th birthday. Over time, I added Deb to the account when we got married, bumped up to the second tier when we got the MG (and used it twice...), added, then removed, driving age kids, and a few year ago added the RV/Motorcycle coverage. The latter for my herd of motor scooters more than for my tiny 5X8 Hiker trailer. Somewhere I have a photo of a 90cc Vespa (not mine) on a big rollback tow truck. 😂 Over the years, I've read/heard good and bad reports about AAA's RV coverage. Most frequently, they involved leaving a trailer behind when getting a truck towed, or vise versa. In December I called AAA Central (which includes Ohio) to find the answer, and was told that different regions have different rules and coverage. Some will send two trucks and tow both vehicles, some only the disabled vehicle. At that point, I called CoachNet, which now covers towed RVs as well as motor coaches, and posed the same question. They told me that they would send two trucks if the tow vehicle was disabled, never leaving a trailer behind. Several questions later, and I signed up for CoachNet before leaving for Florida in January. I'll remove RV/motorcycle coverage from AAA at the next renewal, and seriously consider cancelling completely, since CoachNet covers all vehicles driven or owned by the policy holder and/or spouse. They just won't cover my MG or scooters. But it's hard to break a 54 year habit.

Yep, the GX is a great vehicle, but not for towing the LE II. The LX is actually better than my Land Cruiser, due to the self leveling system and height adjustment. No need for the Firestone airbags with the LX.

Paging @Mike and Jill Here's your opportunity to move closer to the lake.

Done! Thanks for everyone who contributes.

That's a good solution with the pickup. But I'n not going to mount that white antenna on the top of my black Land Cruiser. And there's no good way to get the wires in. I tried solar wires on my similar 4Runner, and ended up coming in the door seal. There's just not a good location on an SUV.

I was initially looking at using Calyx as the provider for my Pepwave cellular router. But one limitation of the Calyx hotspot is that the card cannot be removed and used in another device. Well, it *can*, but it is not permitted. Some hot spots allow the card to be used elsewhere.

2021 Toyota Land Cruiser HE, 5.7L Gas, 8-speed, 3.3:1 rear, full-time 4WD, 8100 pound towing weight, 1460 cargo capacity, 750 tongue weight. Added airbags I know of at least seven other LC owners on here, four of us with the 8-speed, and four with the 6-speed and different rear gearing. All have 100ish# less cargo capacity, as mine came from the factory without the third row jump seats. five have air bags, and all but one of us use the Andersen hitch

I bought the same package in November 2022 during the holiday sale, even before we had our trailer. Mine is mounted in the trailer's attic, but I'm still using the stub antenna. I have the same external mount as you, but just haven't drilled that big hole yet. I'll be mounting mine on the pole mount, but mine will be on thereat awning bracket instead of using a pole.

Bill, David and I had this conversation last year. I originally shared too much information. David called me, and we discussed the security aspect. With his background, the feedback was very welcome. I removed last names and towns from the list. The feedback at the rally was overwhelmingly positive. I think I even gave you a printed copy. 😉

Once I get back from Florida in early February, I will make a post to compile sites, names, forum user names, hull number, etc. like I did last year. As a new attendee, I did it for myself to put faces to names. But when arriving, I found that many folks had printed out my list to use for themselves. During last year's rally, I was asked if I'd be doing it again.

@Mike and Jill We stopped for brunch at Trilogy Kirchen on the east side of Deland (not the downtown one) on our way to New Smyrna Beach. Wonderful food and service. Were we near you? We went to Blue Springs state Park yesterday with 675 manatee for the day's count. Down from a record 900 some the day before. Then had lunch at Hollerbach Cafe in Sanford afterward.

Solved! Switching the out switch off and on solved the problem. Thanks for the input!

Thanks guys. I didn't get over there today, so it will probably be Tuesday. This is the Truma AquaGo water heater, not the furnace, so error E * W, not E * H. I think it was 5, which is the error I quoted above from the manual, but not positive.

Of course I was in the shower when the first propane tank ran dry... I thought I'd turned on both tanks, but nope. Brrr! I rinsed off, got dressed, and turned on the second tank. I lit the stove to get any air out of the lines, and then tried the Truma AquaGo. No luck; error E 5 W if I remember correctly. I then tried the furnace, and it operated properly.I ran the stove again and then tried the water heater, but still no luck. We were approaching check-out time, so I figured I'd look at it later. Right now, we are at my brother's house in New Smyrna Beach for a week or so, and the trailer is parked at the landscaper's lot a couple of miles away. I'm going over today to see if I can solve the problem. If not, then I'll call Truma on Monday. I am going to try turning the water heater off and then back on at the outside switch. If that doesn't work, I'll turn off the solar and batteries to kill all power and then cycle things back on. I don't think turning off the propane and unhooking the lines from the tanks would do anything to help. The water heater was working fine before running out of fuel, and I turned on the other bottle just a few minutes later. So I don't think the problems noted the other day about moisture or a fireball would be the problem. If the above do not correct the error, does anyone else have a suggestion? Thanks! For reference, error E 5 W is: (of course I may be misremembering the error code) Flame detected at incorrect time. There is an error in flame detection of the burner because the flame was detected: before ignition or before the release of gas or after the gas was switched off.
