We have one. š -
Book Storage bins beneath twin bed āWingā
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Mountainman198's topic in Ollie Modifications
I really like this, but my dogs wouldnāt. Fritz is over 90 pounds, and has to back out of the aisle. Ketzel is over 70, but can still turn around there. -
Hey Scott and Conni! Welcome to this benign group of crazy and wonderful folks. We will need to see lots of pictures when your new Ollie arrives.

Dinette Table and Pantry Counter Extensions
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Ronbrink's topic in Ollie Modifications
@Ronbrink, I really like what youāve done. Hereās how the Sapele looks in our Ollie, our Lagun table (not pictured) is a lighter mahogany. -
Dinette Table and Pantry Counter Extensions
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Ronbrink's topic in Ollie Modifications
Great mod! We were fortunate because the previous owner replaced the table, night stand, and pantry tops with beautiful African Sapele. The table and pantry were extended by 4ā. -
I believe we referred to the D-18 as a āBug Smasherā. Aircraft from the days of real planes.

Element Fire Extinguishers
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Wandering Sagebrush's topic in General Discussion
We now carry both traditional and Element fire extinguishers. What I like about the Element is the long burn time, and the small size that makes it handy to store (and grab) in the cab of the TV. Prior to buying, I spoke with my daughter who recently retired as a Fire Marshal from a large Oregon fire district. She keeps them in her vehicles. -

If you use VHB consider applying a self leveling sealant around and over the foot of the base. I believe AMSolar has some YouTube videos on this.

Great news. Iām glad to hear itās not your Ollie!š

I just did the same. One for each truck, one for the Ollie or Camper. -

I believe it was Groucho Marx who said āAny club that would have a member like me, I wouldnāt want to belong to anyway.ā ā¦should be a way to paraphrase that into the travel trailer community. š -

A bit pricey, but they donāt expire, have a long discharge time, and are small enough to fit in the door pocket of most vehicles. Santa was good to me. Iām going to buy a couple more.

Atwood CO detector alarmed
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Patriot's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Now we know how they recharge after a tough travel day⦠Iāll see myself outš -
Ken, I think youāre spot on with respect to the commercial grid. My assumption is the OP is using a generator thatās having issues. If my wayback memory machine is working correctly, the increase in frequency causes a decrease in the line impedance, and that is why current increases. It has less resistance. Lordy, I just realized I took those classes in 1971
-
As AC frequency increases, current will as well. That said, I have no idea of how much of an increase. My bet is the EMS is simply protecting your Oliver.

Replacing city water inlet valve
Wandering Sagebrush replied to The Loonies's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
I only have 3 of those Rubbermaid step stools. Maybe itās time to put one in the Ollie. BTW, as they age, the plastic gets brittle at the peak. -
One dead wet cell battery
Wandering Sagebrush replied to Cort's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Always, always, but always disconnect the negative terminal first! I believe I shared the story about trying to arc weld a wrench to a Huey airframe.š³ -
Replacing city water inlet valve
Wandering Sagebrush replied to The Loonies's topic in Mechanical & Technical Tips
Ron, thanks! I have a bunch of the brass couplers, but didnāt have a source for the threaded caps. Iāve found the brass tends to start binding after exposure to dirt/dust.. Iāve used WD 40 on the couplers we use around the yard, but suspect food grade silicone would be a better choice for a RV. Edit: Just looked at the price on the Nelson couplersš³. Go to a tractor supply and find them at 1/3 the price. Theyāre all probably made in China.
