Coddiwomple

We have the Progressive Industries EMS-PT30X which is supposed to protect against high and low voltage and surges. Is there something about the Hughes Autoformer that I should know about that is better? I understand it can be mounted inside for theft protection but I am more concerned about damaging the electronics, appliances, and equipment.

I think you are right on this Steve. I am going to go with 55psi.

We have a 2023 Elite 1 with Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R15 tires. We were told to inflate to 65psi. I just found the load chart and it indicates that we should be inflating to about 45psi if I am reading it correctly. I am assuming the weight listed in the chart is per tire (so half the total weight). On the scale, the trailer weighs just under 4,000 lbs loaded. I uploaded a snippet of the load chart. Can someone confirm this?

Thank you C&M Currie for the great info! I did this modification and followed your advice on all the parts and components except I opted for the two wire version. Works great!!

For the Elite 1 Folks...... I too have been working with Jason E on this and have an Elite 1 with the 2,000 watt inverter. After changing the LBCO to 11.5 volts through the app and testing multiple times (4 cups water for 4 minutes in microwave), I was able to succesfully use the microwave all the way down from 100% SOC to 14% SOC with no alarms or overload cutoff. Happy with results.

OK, I finally completed the modification with the lagun table and we are very happy with the results. We have ordered some backrest cushions from OTT to replace the split backrest cushions. We just returned from our first camping trip with Coddiwomple and really like this setup. My wife, Martha, sleeps on the back bed (28" wide) and I sleep on the side dinette bed (24" wide). David

Thank you for that info. Plan to use the regular sewer hoses as much as we can when we can. Will only use the macerator setup when have to at home occasionally and it will not be pumping uphill. I ended up ordering the Flojet macerator.

Yes!! I am going to do this. Thanks for the info. David

I modified the modification. I rounded the top corners and cut slots on the bottom leg so now it can be used below the table too.

Yes, I filed them smooth but I agree and will round them off. I purchased the z-channel from Eagle Aluminum in Loretto, MN.

I made two shelves for the brackets where the tables are mounted to the interior wall. Works great for small items and iPhone. Photos below. Only problem is that I needed two 24" long pieces of aluminum z-channel but had to buy 24 feet. Now I have 20 feet left over so if anyone is interested in this mod and wants some of the z-channel you can send me a PM. In addition, I swapped the thumbtab bolts out for knobs. This is my first post so I hope it works correctly - let me know if I need to change anything. I am working on another mod that I intend to post. David

Yes! We would be interested in this event. David and Martha #1382

Thanks Brian. I saw that but wondering if that is strong enough. I don't know anything about the strength of fiberglass so I guess I need to do some research on this. Don't want to damage ours when I install the lagun table mount.

Did you use any backing or bracing on the other side of the fiberglass? Or is the fiberglass strong enough to hold the weight? We pick up our E1 on May 8th and plan to install a similar table mount on the curbside. Thanks, David Purkey

Congratulations! Safe travels! 🙂

Ron, Following up on the articulating table mount. Here is what I plan to install in "Coddiwomple" (Elite 1) when we get it next spring. With this setup we should be able to position the tabletop next to the stovetop and my wife is happy about that. It is a lagun-type removable table mount and seems to be very strong. The powdercoat finish is nice and the fit is tight. I contacted Foy and he can make a tabletop for us with the underside routed out to lighten it up so I will order that later when I dial in the final tabletop dimensions. Need to figure out support bracing and backing later. Might have to have a custom brace made so as not to stress the fiberglass. I purchased this from EZ-Reach (division of Cass Hudson) and spoke to the design engineer about my plan to add a second arm so I would have an elbow like movement rather than just one arm with an arc. He thought it was a good idea and would work so I ordered two of the 12" arms. I cut one tube down so it would fit in to the other and it works great. I extended it out all the way and put 20lbs on the table bracket - It is solid. Now I just need a trailer to install it in! David Purkey

OK, when I do the modification (if it is possible - depending on backing) next year I will post it here with photos. David P.

Really like what you did with the bed in the back and we are considering doing the same, however, we just ordered an Elite 1 and will not receive it until May 2023. Taking this idea a step further, we are thinking about making the side dinette in to a permanent bed too and then install a Lagun mount with tabletop at the back. This could also be used as a prep table next to the stovetop by swiveling it there. I suppose we will have to see how this will work after we get our Ollie. David Purkey
