As far as I can tell, the systems are all maufactured in Germany and / or Italy. I cold not find any information pertaining to a Truma manufacturing facility in the USA. This, if true, certainly could account for some of the lack of availability of components with which to repair the defective heaters. Developed in Germany, produced in Italy: Our Products come from a single mold One of our most important success factors: Within the Truma Group, development and production come from a single source. This means we can optimally coordinate manufacturing and production. The development headquarter is part of our German parent company, located in Putzbrunn, Bavaria. Together, we set new standards with coordinated, continuous improvements in development and manufacturing. This enables us to manufacture high-performance, high-precision products that delight our customers and add the greatest possible value.

I haven't watched any of those videos but I do have a question. you (she) stated that the Ethanol Shield product absorbs water better than Stabil however what was ssid, if anything, what happens to the water that was aborbed? It's still in the tank or storage device.

Age is one thing that no one can run from.

I do think that he missed a very good point by not mentioning the rigidity of the aluminum frame structure. When I took a tour of the factory while there to pick our Elite up; the frame structure on its jig for layout and welding was one of the top selling features for me. It's a beefy piece of aluminum art.

One of mine fell off in our driveway yesterday. No broken tabs and it's not damaged in any other way. I'm going to try some type of adhesive to see if I can make it 'stick'.

Excellent! Question for you; how did you find the city parks that you did stay at? Were they 'listed' somewhere OR, did you just run an internet search for towns on your route and investigate from there? City halls ??? Chambers of Commerce ??? -
Re the 30# propane tanks vis-a-vis the Elite. The Elite will not carry the 30# tanks in the factory front mounting location. They also are not an option on the Elite

We have a 2023 Elite (the 'baby' Oliver) and we sometimes carry a generator depending on where we will be staying. We use a Firman 3242 dual fuel invertor generator that we bought at Costco about a year before we bought our Oliver. It has supplied the power necessary to run the entire trailer with no issues at all. It is a bit heavy though & runs a bit loud for my tastes but so far, we haven't had to use it too often.

Golfnut, which one did you purchase? Amazon.com : dozyant 12 ft rv propane quick connect hose

We prchased a 17" Blackstone griddle about a year ago and are / were planning to take it with us soon on a trip HOWEVER, we've discovered that the hose purchased on-line is not equipped with the proper fitting to connect at the griddle itself. The hose fitting that plugs into the Oliver port is correct. Its the fitting on the Blackstone end that is improper. This is a link to what I believe is necessary. IF SO, do you have a preferred supplier or might Amazon be as good as anyone else ? Amazon.com: Eazy2hD 7FT RV Quick Connect Propane Hose with Propane Elbow Adapter Fitting RV Quick-Connect Kit, Low Pressure Propane Extension Hose for Blackstone 17"/22" Griddle : Patio, Lawn & Garden Oh Yeah! Any tips for seasoning the griddle or should we just follow the Blackstone instructions provided with the griddle? Cheers

That reminds me! I have one of those that 'escaped' that I have to re-apply.

It does work for both. I always keep our truck keys with me when leaving the trailer but never carry the trailer key with me. Guess I need to get into the habit of doing that. Hint to self: Hit up Home Depot for some spare batteries too!

How long should it take the A/C to get cold inside in hot temps?
srthomsen replied to trekhard's topic in General Discussion
We were in Floresville, Texas last summer at a BMX event and the daytime temps (real temps. not "feels like" temps!) while there did not drop below 109 degrees during the day. We have a small 2023 Elite with the Truma Aventa A/C system and after arrival that first afternoon it cooled the trailer down in about 25 minutes to a nice comfortable 79 degrees. During the following three days the interior temp never rose to above 80 degrees. It worked flawlessly. -

Andersen Hitch Install Photos & Advice - LE II

An Elite 1 is what I we have also. Been liesurely tracing this problem for a while. I did find one wire very loose at the switch on the back wall & fixed that but no luck there. I've found that I have power to the fuse box but I stopped at that point not wanting to start tracing the wiring in some extremely cramped areas. My aversion to electricity ( I can't see it!) has dampened my enthusiasm. I'll have to find my get up and go and start looking again.

Were you able to or, did you take any pics of the terminal block / relay that you found to be the issue?

Definately different. Looks like a big bunch of wind resistance to haul around too.

Bulldog coupler recall for some LE2s
srthomsen replied to Steph and Dud B's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
We don't have an Elite II but I went out to check on the unit that we have on our 2023 #1403 Elite and found that our trailer is equipped with a 2" ball 7000# coupler.
