    Thank you to all of you who have replied.  This is all great information, especially the info about seeing the maintenance records and spec sheet.  I have rv’d for over 50 years with my husband and bought the casita after he passed.  I have used it extensively for the past two years, putting a ton of miles on it.  So I think i have proved to myself that i am capable and able to maintain an rv and will use it.  Onward and upward!

    Milwaukee M18 tire inflator

    I wish I had started down the Milwaukee road.  I do think they are the best.  I went all in on DeWalt.  That way every battery is usable for all the tools I have.

     

    I have been putting off buying a battery air pump.  My POS KOBALT has died.  In all fairness I have had it for 10 years or so and my truck needs 80 PSI.

     

    Does anyone have DEWALT 20V MAX Tire Inflator DCC020IB?

    Where to go?

    All of Arkansas state parks are a pleasant stay with good facilities.

     

    We recently stayed at Columbus-Belmont State Park in Kentucky.  Quite with nothing around for miles.  The facilities are OK.

    We also stayed at My Old Kentucky Home.  It sucked.  The town, Bardstown, is very nice, but that Kentucky state park is a real shame.

    Good luck on your trip.  I like the way you travel.  I hate the tether and bother of having to plan every move.

    I bought a new door. If your fridge is a cf130, same door as my truckrfridge tf 130. Same puny pins. I broke mine a few years ago because I tried tp close it with too much frost buildup.

    Part is readily available,  and install is about 1 minute.

     

    Where do I find out the model of my fridge?

     

    Measuring my door, it seems to match this door.

    Truma AC

    It was a dirt dauber nest.  Got on the trailer, took off the top of the AC, cleaned the nest and all is good with world.  I am now sitting in my campsite with a happy wife.

     

    It is hard to see how the little bugger got in there it is very well sealed, but he did.

    I turned it to fan mode and the growl goes away.

     

    I put it into AC mode and the growl comes back.  I'd say that is the compressor making the noise.

     

    The whole trailer shudders as the compressor winds down. 

     

    Help!

    Just checked on it and the growl is back.

     

    I turned it on again and sat there for awhile.  The growl came back when the compressor kicked on (I guess that is what kicked on).

     

    It seems to be cooling.  You could feel a vibration through out the trailer matching the growl when the growl noise came back.

    I am getting ready for a trip tomorrow.  I turned on the AC and it made a load growling sound but appeared to run normally otherwise.

     

    I let it run about 10 minutes and then turned it off.  I turned it back on and it sounded normal.

     

    Is this something anyone else has experienced with the Truma AC?

    We put Calgon and Pine-Sol in our black tank.

    If you're treating grey tank with pinesol, be prepared for a lot of heavy pine smelling  vapors coming from the sink drains, etc. 

    I often use pinesol to clean my toilets at home. But, I run the exhaust fan, afterwards. Otherwise, I smell pinesol for days.

    Pinesol was on the list of agents that killed covid back in 2020, so I started using it again, then, since disinfectants being very tough to find... but, I scored a gallon of pinesol. 🙂

    We put Calgon and Pine-Sol in our black tank.

     

    Mix 40 ounces of Pine-Sol with enough water to just about fill a gallon jug. Top off with a half cup of Calgon Bath Beads. Use eight ounces in each tank (or more in especially hot weather or if your tanks will be filling up slowly over time).

    regular servicing, a warning sign that you need to relube is creaks or pops when making tight turns.

    This forum, and you sir, rock.

     

    I had called Oliver service after hearing such a noise.  I never heard back from them and forgot about it until I read this.

     

    I was hearing the "creaks and pops".  I just lubed the 12 zerks. 

     

    Thanks so much
