No heat pump in our Truma.š In our AS we had a ducted Dometic AC with heat pump, so the heat pump being part of the AC pumped heat through the ducts. It was good to use down to approx. 42 deg. Fahrenheit, and I loved it.

I have this saved from a postā¦canāt remember exactly who from and when, but if it will help I can send you the pdf

Great thanks for the prompt response!š

Ah gotcha, was just curious because those options were on my 2023 build sheet. Thanks!

@NCeagle, I really like your 2 mods, just a few questions..... 1) Why did you go with AC fans and not DC? 2) If you had to do it all over again would you use the same 2 smart fans? 3) Are you still happy with the design/results, would you change anything? Thanks!

I don't see the 2-5/16ā Bulldog Coupler or Andersen No-Sway Hitch System as an option on the 2024 build sheet!

Valve beneath right seat of dinette table
rich.dev replied to Vector - Lanham's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Nope not on mine Like @Patriot said, on the newer models we need 4-5 pumps to sufficiently protect the new flush port system. I remember reading somewhere this change was put in place to meet new codes for the black tank system, something to do with ensuring no backflow of waste water can get inside the water supply line. Here's a pic of the new layout with longer flush system. -
Yup still have them on my 2023, and also have one that failed and replaced by Oliver!

Newbies taking the plunge - Are we missing anything

@Fritz this is exactly what has been bugging me! I have the lithium platinum package and could never understand why my batteries, when fully charged, show 13.6V and not 14.4V on the Lithionics app. BIG thanks for clarifying this!š -

Haha yes I canāt even use the excuse of driving on the wrong side of the road up here! Iāll just blame it on Siri!š -
Not sure itās the same in all states and provinces, but in Ontario if you do a trade in, you donāt pay tax on the trade in amount. When we sold our SOB to buy a used airstream from a dealership, we sold the SOB privately, but did the deal through the airstream dealership, so it was considered a trade in, and we did not pay tax on the sold/trade in value of the SOB.š

Oh yes @mossemi you are right. Also @Vector - Lanham, itās on the street side not curb side like I said! Damn I had to really think about that now!š -

The black tank flush port "should' be on the curb side behind the axles. Check this video on how to winterize it, and this video explains your black tank flush port. -

That's your black tank flush port valve that you now have in the open position. Here's the Winterization & Storage Tips from Oliver, just curious why would you want to blow out the lines if you're going to use the pink stuff anyway? -
No snow yet @SeaDawg where we live, about an hr SW of Toronto. But according to the experts (The Weather Network) that will all change next week!

Same here, was also thinking of switching to the Victron Multiplus, but 5 months in and so far happy with the Xantrex. Like @Ollie-Haus will keep it until it dies. I do like the Victron multiplies power assist feature, ie. If more power is needed to run devices that is available from shore power, the Multiplus can pull the additional power from the battery bank, and add that power to the under performing shore power connectionā¦..like so beautifully explained in the attached video by Nate from Exploristlife! And of course you cannot set up a network with the Xantrex and GX Cerbo

Hey Jordan, I know itās been a while, but where did you miss the one 90° elbow. I only see one on the plumbing diagram? -

Cat scale numbers, how is hitch weight figured
rich.dev replied to John and Debbie's topic in General Discussion
That can be tweaked by tightening the chains. On my setup 200lb is moved from the drive axle to the steer axle and 140lb from the drive axle/tongue weight to trailer axles. -

John, did you punch those numbers into the spread sheet I emailed you? If yes it will show the hitch/tongue and trailer weight.
