We use a 2.5” matress topper and love it. It is no longer available from Amazon but was listed as BedStory 2.5 Inch Mattress Topper RV Short King Size. It works great but sometimes pulls up from the sides a little after 5-7 days, but that’s when we usually change the sheets anyway. I would note that changing sheets and making the bed in a king Oliver ain’t easy, but we have gotten used to it

I have found that sometime the switches on the master panel just inside the door don’t work or work intermittently. Usually if I turn them on and off a couple of times the problem resolves. I’ve always attributed it to a little fiberglass dust in between the contacts or a little oxidation of the contacts from disuse. It has been a little annoying but not a serious issue. The only other switch issue I have had was when one of the spade connectors fell off the pump switch in the bathroom. When that happened, only the switch by the Truma control panel would turn on the pump.

Thanks I will keep an eye on mine!

We were very happy with Jason at J and J Rv Repair in the Keys. I think he heads to Holland Michigan area in the summer and does RV repair there also.

I only deploy my regular Girard awning when I am at the trailer on calm days. I certainly wouldn’t leave the awning deployed all day while the trailer is unattended, especially at the cost of the solar awning. I see this as the biggest limitation to the usefulness of the solar awning.

Yes a four inch drop on a two inch hitch and an adapter to go from 2” to 3”. I sometimes think the trailer looks slightly nose high but a level on the a frame indicates it is dead level.

We pull our LE II on the ball with our ‘22 F250 tremor 6.7 and have been very satisfied including during a few very windy trips out west. We used an equalizer with a previous TV and Airstream. We were very happy to leave the WDH behind. There are a few other SD tremor owners on the forum, some have a F350 and I think they all tow wo a WDH. And congrats on the Tremor.

I would recommend you fight tooth and nail to preserve your mobility and ability to continue what you love. Recovery from knee surgery is really tough. I’ve not had it but am an MD and many of my patients have. Once you give things up they will never come back. The body and people in general have a remarkable ability to adapt and overcome limitations. Good luck on your recovery! I hope this helps!

We also have a TST and plug the signal booster into the 12v cigarette lighter outlet above the cooktop. Not sure how the Tireminder works but honestly the few times we forget to plug in the booster, the TST seems to work fine.

More like this. But still the same idea.

So this may have been covered bf, but my shotgun rider pointed me to a video that used 8” stainless lag screws and 1 1/2” fender washers to use as tent stakes for our clam screen house. Boy what an easy way to secure your shelter. Beats the rock hammer by a mile.

Pro tip/field experience -make sure that when the techs do the install that they take extra care to make sure there are no kinks in condensation lines that connect the Truma to the OEM drain lines. I made sure to gently remind the installers of this and have never had any issues with our lines not kinked or draining. There were a few earlier installs that had this issue and eventually had to be corrected so it’s worthy of mention. It’s nice to use the OEM factory drain lines to keep water from draining onto the roof. It just makes for a nice clean OEM install and keeps your roof condensation free and ceramic coating or wax job looking great I can attest to the importance of no kink in the condensate lines. But with some minimal modification you really only need one to drain both cups.

We have a factory installed Truma Adventa with both the panel and the remote. We never use the remote and have found it glitchy with poor connectivity. It has to point directly at the ir receiver on the Truma, it often seems out of synch with the wall panel and the time is never correct for long on the remote. However, You cannot access the dehumidification mode on the panel, only on the remote. We don’t use the dehumidification mode any more because it turns the trailer into a meet locker and we now use a small countertop dehumidifier. Maybe we would have a better experience if we used the remote regularly instead of occasionally. Just one man’s opinion!

Hello to the Oliver we saw heading south on US 1 south of Marathon Florida this morning. We were the northbound Superduty sans Oliver flashing our lights.

The mobile rv tech came by yesterday and was very helpful. He pulled the tire and drums and the brakes looked great. Little pad wear no rust, dirt, rocks or extra parts. Bearings are fine. He had no explanation for why the brakes would temporarily lock up. He suggested that perhaps there was a ply failure that resulted in a bleb that then resulted in increased wear. I think this is possible but hard to imagine occurring in the center of the tread. I am happy the brakes are ok but I suppose time will tell. I will be lowering my tire pressures as per JDs suggestion. I am not sure pressure had anything to do will our recent tire failure but lower pressures certainly seem to make good sense given the trailers weight. Thanks to everyone who posted advice.
