All of the hitch pins I measured were 5/8 nominal size. I found there was considerable + / - tolerance, not to mention the hole variances. My original hitch pin was an inexpensive locking one, probably made to loose tolerances, and was already showing wear (8000 miles). It remains to be seen how well the new hitch pin and rubber donuts hold up. I used 5 of the donut pieces stacked on the Anderson square piece. It is so stacked that I need to apply pressure to compress the rubber donuts in order to fit the hitch pin in the hole.

Towing my Elite I with the Anderson hitch, I've encountered a lot of forward / backward sliding of the square shank within the receiver mount on my truck. It has been a cause of annoyance at stops and starts as the entire hitch can be felt sliding. Upon investigation I found that the hitch pin I was using is slightly undersized, as were most of the other pins in my garage. To remedy this, I took my calipers to Tractor Supply and mesaured every hitch pin on the shelf. The BROK locking hitch pin was the winner, at about 0.8mm larger diameter than the one I previously used. I also installed some rubber 'donuts' around the exposed shank to take up the slack. together these two measures have almost totally eliminated to back and forth mothion of the Anderson ball mount

Welcome to the club! We are also from NC (near Boone) and originally hailed from MI (Kazoo), and got our Ollie (Yogi) last March. Depending on the electrical package that you got in "Pearl" the Inverter/charger/batteries could require a hefty current to bring the batteries up to full. This current demand could last a couple of hours or more. You mention that it takes several seconds to trip the breaker, so I'm guessing it is a circuit overload, not a short or fault situation. The fix may be as simple as charging the batteries prior to storage to alleviate this current demand. The previous information is only an educated guess. Bill G

Hard ridge Creek COE campground in AL. Right on the border with GA. First trip down south in “Yogi”, and we’re loving the fall here.

Sorry...the link goes to the entry page for RVers in Canada. But I cannot go into the site without becoming a member. Could you post a visual? thanks

I just received a “PolyPRO 3” cover made by OVERDRIVE fromAmazon . This cover looks similar to the one earlier in this thread, except it is sized and sewn specific for “egg” campers from 13’ to 16’. Since my Legacy Elite is approximately 15 1/2 feet, I thought it would fit OK. Just completed a dry fit (didn’t cinch up the ties) and the fit is acceptable. I do not have solar, but I think it would cover the factory panels fine. I’ll be putting it on for the winter sometime around Thanksgiving and we’ll see if it makes it through the winter. I am mostly concernecd about leaves and sticks since we live in the deep woods and do not have a way to keep it under a roof.

that's very nice and motivating for sure. Always thinking about how to carry more stuff especially with an at-capacity truck. Now you've got me thinking about a(smaller) truck box for the rear bumper / bike add-on for our LE I

Legacy Elite owners be advised: this does not accommodate the safety chains or the trailer plug due to the location of the jack with respect to the coupler and tongue box. This was a disappointment to me, as I followed the user reports of this cover here in this thread. I promptly returned mine and ate the shipping cost... Otherwise, it looks like a fine piece of kit.

the entire North Rim (access etc) shuts down sometime in October. Call ahead to confirm dates... Wish we were going too!

Wife and I watched a movie on Prime that she thought was funny and I thought was a serious documentary. "The Long Long Trailer" follows a newlywed couple through their experience with getting and using a big travel trailer. Definitely worth a watch.

OEM Aventa on 2023 Elite. I concur with all of the above, except my measured height is ~2 inches higher than spec. I didn't have older AC to compare, but specification says 9 ft. (0 inches) I measured approx 9 ft 1.5 inches. Hopefully I never cut it that close. BTW, I did operate the AC on shore power 20A ckt, started and ran flawlessly. Onboard power monitor shows 6A when operating (after startup).

Tire her out with walks and playtime. Make sure she has toys/chewy things all the time. Introduce her to the other campers (at a distance, from the road). Keep reassuring her that everything is okay, you’re safe, she’s being a “good girl”. Frankly, camping with a dog can be exhausting until they get used to being in a new place and protecting you from new dangers. Our Great Pyrenees was born to bark, and it’s a struggle to keep her from barking, as it’s her inbred way of protecting us. Be assured, with the windows closed, Ollie’s are almost sound proof. Tie-outs are a struggle, because you can’t tie her out and ignore her, she still requires constant feedback that she doesn’t need to bark. good luck, she’ll come around and embrace camping too!

Has anyone tried using a remote control switch for the rear curbside jack (away from the switches)?. I think it would be doable to install a remote control winch switch, so you could see the jack and dial- in the right lift without guessing from the opposite side of the trailer.

I have this issue on my 23 LE. I plan on installing a separate switch in series with the street side porch light. This will enable me to decide whether one ( curb) or both porch lights go on with the main porch light switch. Probably tap into the wire directly behind the radio and mount the switch inside the cubby next to the radio. This will not happen until my warranty expires.

really cool mod can come in quite handy, I've been stashing stuff in the window track which is less than ideal

Running two small ac fans...implies that you had the invertor turned on. Is it possible there were other appliances (water heater, refrigerator, ?) that were on AC that you hadn't intended? Based on my limited experience, your stated capacity / draw you should expect a week or so. Do you have other previous instances of running on strictly battery? Bill G

it's the smallest one from Furrion, if its like the one I just got on mine 3/14/23. Very limited mounting options. It has a ball socket in the rear of the monitor, butits an odd size, and I cannot get anything to fit except the included windshield suction mount. Instead, I glued a neodymium magnet to a small board that clipsinto a cellphone holder I already had. The magnet sticks (barely) to the back of the Furrion display (not much metal there). Also, please note, the power supply for the Furrion monitor is 12 VDC cigarette lighter style, which takes up precious dash accessory slots. I really wish we had the option of specing a larger monitor, both the 5 inch and the seven inch monitors from Furrion have more standard mounting options.

We live and camp in the eastern US. Barring drought, wildfires are less a concern, since most are contained early on. However, we’ve been camping in crowded parks where Smokey campfires we’re bothersome. I understand some parks will be designating some areas / loops as “campfire free”. I sincerely hope that western areas address the wildfire issue, as it has affected where we can go, road closures, etc. it’s a shame that it has affected your appreciation for camping to the point of considering not going.

I may have a remedy...I reformed the shelves (bent them) to be much wider at the "forearm", causing them to not have a tendency to slide forward (out towards fridge door). Previously, they would slide out, such that only the "forearm" of the shelf was within the slot, the "elbow" was not supporting the shelf. The forearm would easily bend, and we'd see a collapsed shelf. Now, even though they are actually no wider, the shelves do not move fore and aft by themselves in the fridge, resulting in full support by the complete wire arms & elbows. I tested it in place with eight soda bottles (~8lbs) and they did not collapse under moderate jiggling. (sorry, I could not successfully flip over the two images...)

I do not have the extra energy saving control. Just the knob inside the fridge. My shelves look the same as John E Davis', but without the tension bars. John described it well, they are just weak steel, and not well suited for the application.

i am assuming it is the cf130, not sure where to verify the model number. I kinda want to get a second opinion prior to opening a service ticket, it may be operator error. thanks

The issue seems to be two-fold: a) weak, flimsy wire, b) loosey goosey side-to-side snugness. I run the recommended tire pressure (55psi) btw. The shelves collapse frequently while we're stationary, just putting/taking stuff in/out of the fridge. Two to four pounds on one shelf seems to be enough to bend the wire and cause failure. I have confidence that our collective minds will be able to find a remedy. thanks
