Those look great! How was the installation and do they have a mechanical on/off switch or are they touch activated?

I believe that the filter / screen utilizes an 'O' ring for a seal and it's on the low pressure / suction side of the pump.

You can try setting your valves to the normal position, turn your pump on, then turn the valve circled in the picture below 'on' briefly. You will hear water rushing into your fresh tank. What this does is pump water from your fresh tank back into your fresh tank. This will purge the air out of the pump and associated components. This has happened to me many times after traveling and arriving at a site, somehow air gets into the system.

We have a BougeRV CRD45, 48Qt portable refrigerator. It's dual zone ( interchangeably), runs on 12VDC or 120VAC, and has an optional battery available. We've used it continuously on our recent 10 week trip out west and it's worked perfectly. It also fits between the beds in our trailer when traveling.

This is the method that I've used. Also it's a good idea to have the trailer connected to the tow vehicle for safety while jacking the trailer. I also block the wheels on the other side of the trailer. The second picture was a parking lot tire change from a failed tire valve. If you have rubber tire valve stems and you have tire pressure sensors installed I suggest that you change the tire valves to metal tire valves. Luckily we were close to a Discount Tire location and had all the tires valve stems changed to metal.

I don't have an RV specific GPS but I have been in areas where there was no cellular service, the on-board truck navigation ( based on cellular ), Google maps, and Apple Maps would not work as a result. I'm glad that I had my old Garmin GPS. I would imagine that an RV specific GPS would be helpful. I know that maps can be downloaded and used off-line but I never seem to be able to remember to do that.

Last year's trip, stopping at Penobscot Narrows Bridge, this seemed like perfect product placement. 😀

The fact that Truma has changed the design would seem to indicate that they know that they have a problem. What is certainly true is that Truma does not have the capability to address the numbers associated with this recall so they're denying repsonsibility and pushing it off on others, in my opinion. Additionally, if a burner assembly is designed with eight tabs why would they choose to only crimp two?

That's a good question, I've never encountered a situation that called for its use, the 13/16 socket. I'm sure someone on this forum knows.

Oliver provides two sockets, 3/4 and 13/16. Wheel lugs require 3/4.

We recently bought a BougeRV CRD45 48QT 12 Volt Dual Zone Car Refrigerator : CRD45 We've used it recently for a trip from CT to FL and it worked great. It has two individually controlled compartments, each one can be either refrigerator or freezer ( you can make both sides the same if you want). The temperature control was good and it has a fast cooldown mode and an economy mode. We've only used it for one trip so far but so far we're impressed. The unit runs on AC or DC and you can also purchase a battery for it as well ( so you can use it as a portable cooler ).

It turns out that there is ONE person in the country that handles appointments for the service centers, and if she's at a show or other event you won't hear from her for weeks. That was the case for us as we were traveling to FL over the winter and had a problem with our water heater. She finally called back two weeks later and I was told that the service center couldn't see us for another three weeks. We ended up going with a " Truma certified mobile tech" and that experience was less than ideal. Our Truma service support was horrible but that's a long story for another time.

No registration is required. I've only seen one bar increase in signal strength if I put your phone very close to the internal antenna, sometimes that helps but generally not much. The gain on the tiny external antenna on top of the trailer is pretty poor which is largely to blame. A physically larger external antenna with a higher gain would be helpful but not worth the expense / effort in my opinion. If I don't have a decent cell signal I use StarLink.

Very interesting, thanks! Here's a link to the procedure: Anderson maintenance.
