We like our composting toilet. It is not maintenance free but certainly prefer it over the limitations of the small black tank. We do have the upgraded batteries and can go a good week or more with batteries and solar (but no ac). We do not have the second awning and for the locations where we camp, we are glad we didn't pay extra for it. In fact, we use our curbside awning only about half the time and only fully extended in the middle of the summer. Personally, I liked buying directly from the factory and staying overnight in their campsites to learn and check out. I wish we had spent a second night there because there were issues we later discovered that could have been corrected right then and there at the factory.

We did get this with our LE II and to tell you the truth I have not been able to discern that it makes any difference in cell reception. I turn it on and I turn it off in various locations and see no difference - maybe mine is not even working.

I am not having a problem but I did note that this is the slowest part of the winterization process. It DOES pump slow. That said, I rarely use my city water hookup.

Not surprised. I think my one zerk issue suffered the same. Thanks for doing the deep dive into this and reporting back.

I am pretty sure I tried both of these and ended up going metric but as described earlier neither would simply screw in despite repeated efforts. Perhaps the original zerk was the wrong size. I was amazed it simply came off in my hand and had not fallen on the highway earlier. There did not appear to be much for threads in the hole at all but of course it was very difficult to see even with my lights and mirrors. I would suggest Gliddenwoods have his tap ready if he is proceeding with the disassembly route and he may find little or no threads in those holes. Of course, he has like 6 to replace whereas I only had one problem child so his more extensive approach is understandable although I feel bad he has to go that route.

Yes, I did (not unhook the axles) but it was very difficult. I measured the old zerk very carefully because I still had it. But it was NOT a matter of just screwing it back in. I believe the threads were not right from the get-go. I ultimately got a 90-degree zerk in the hole and somewhat tightened - it works and at a better angle than the 45 degree zerk. Not enough clearance to retap the hole without unhooking the axles which would have put this repair into a whole different realm of time and effort. So, I will live with my likely cross-threaded zerk until I need to do something else with it. Good luck. Hard on my old body working under the trailer.

I had a zerk come off in my hand while greasing a year or so ago. I too was just outside warranty and about to leave on a trip so I did not contact Oliver. I managed to get a new one and got it in the hole but I am pretty sure it is cross threaded. I am not sure the threads were ever right - thus it coming off in my hand. As ugly as it was there is so little clearance under there that I couldn't see how I could do any better without unhooking the axles. So I am not surprised you are finding missing zerks. You should be able to get new ones and thread them in but it is very tight quarters under there as you probably know. Very hard to get a wrench on the zerk to tighten.

Mine handle fell off at one point as well. Ray's turning instructions match mine. I got a mirror and flashlight, and then found my handle in the basement. It can't have gone far! It's probably down there.

Residual gas in the appliances and the lines? Can't imagine it would last long once the pressure is relieved, but the appliances are pretty good at sipping propane.

I like that the holes are the same - keeps things clean. On a different note, how do you like the ProBreeze Peltier dehumidfier? How well does it bring down the rel humidity?

This is a good addition. If I had to do it over again, I would add the ss washers. The heads of the bolts do embed too much.

We got the optional shower curtain with the trailer but after a half dozen trips took the shower curtain down. It seemed to be more in the way than a help. We use the shower head as a wand and never mount it in the holder above. With a bit of a care and wiping down afterward, shower spray is not a problem. With only 30 gallons of water, one has to be careful in water use anyway.

At first, I took mine off when I wasn't towing much but doing so and putting it back on was a hassle. I pretty much leave it on all the time now and probably have 5000 miles with it on. I have another trailer I tow, and gravel roads/driveways are a frequent encounter. So far so good.

June. She "got hitched" to Cash, the man in black, back in Sept of 2023. The picture will explain.

We have never used ours either. I have debated removing it, but it doesn't take up much room and just when I remove it, we will find a need.
