So I went to a deep dark place with my Truma in the past because I always had condensate dripping down the curbside of my trailer and none down the street side, or from either condensate lines under the trailer. The condensate lines cross so that meant I was not getting any drainage from the curb side condensate tray. There is a second outlet on each side of the condensate tray that is supposed to allow water to drain down the side of the trailer if the condensate line is occluded. To make a long story short, the condensate line that drains to the street side was occluded somewhere in between the inner and outer hull, and I could not access this area. I remedied the problem by getting a y fitting and splicing the tubing coming from the street side into the tubing coming from the curbside. I never had any drainage inside the trailer. I should also mention that when my trailer is absolutely level, the ac lists to the curbside. Giving my experience, I would first remove the inner shroud and see if you can identify where the leak is originating. If you confirm it is condensate, I would then get one of these, https://a.co/d/0hkNDgD0, and pass the brush from the condensate drain tube as far as possible and see if it is visible from inside the trailer, since the inside shroud is removed. I would then do the same on the other side. If you determine one side is occluded, I used this fitting to splice the occluded side to the non occluded side, https://a.co/d/0d6K2v06. Maybe you will find a kink or other occlusion that can be fixed with out splicing. I had the outer cover off several times during this process, but found that the access and visibility is poor and I would not start there. I hope this helps, please feel free to reach out if I can help further.

I have found that often a “full” discharge to the shutoff is not necessary to reset the state of charge. Usually discharge to 70-80% will do it once you charge the batteries back to 100% I do however sometimes discharge my batteries to shutoff, usually while camping on shore power in the summer. I shut off shore power and run the air conditioning. Sometimes when I get very close to the shutoff SOC, the inverter will disconnect and I will have to complete the discharge using the lights or other non loads. The switch on the top of the battery is the switch they are referring to.

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!

Looking for Mobile Tech recommendations in Florida
Rolind replied to Boudicca908's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
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.

Knee replacement surgery, anyone gone through this?
Rolind replied to routlaw's topic in General Discussion
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.

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!
