  1. I have some Star Bright black streak remover scheduled to arrive from Bezos on Wednesday. That stuff works miracles on stubborn stains on fiberglass. I'm sure it will work on that.
  2. That jack installation is too involved to miss a shiny chrome hose wrapped around it. My guess is that the hose was install, or reinstalled after a problem, and was accidently wrapped around the jack. Of course, no one checked to see if the hose had full mobility before the sent it out the door.
  3. I checked mine today. It is plugged onto a 20amp GFCI. No issues.
  4. I think I will be thinking the same. It rained yesterday and the water coming down the side didn’t bother me. The junk that collected on top and was almost permanently imbedded into the seal, brackets and fiberglass concerned me more.
  5. Im familiar with the wind catching the door and thankfully it hasn’t yanked it away from me so far. Now, Im not all that worried.
  6. Exactly my reasoning with the addendum that AS dealers near me are jerks.
  7. I think I have mine hooked up to a GFCI and it works fine. I will try to check tomorrow.
  8. That is almost exactly how I ordered mine and I got it for less than the no haggle price listed on there. I didn't opt for the Platinum package due to the significantly inflated price tag, but I might have if it had only cost $5k.
  9. I can verify, as others have said, the Truma AC works fine but you need to be a polar bear to enjoy it. I believe it also uses the same amount of power at it does in AC mode.
  10. I had a larger unit that was in storage. I brought it out today and put it on the floor of the head. It is a bit overkill but removed about 30% humidity in less than two hours. I will likely upgrade to a much smaller unit that can be placed on the countertop.
  11. That is just up the road from my house. I may give that place a try.
  12. Storage is a premium in an Oliver. I like this idea and will be upgrading in the near future.
  13. I gave it some more thought this weekend:
  14. I installed my friction hinges today as well. Takes a little getting used to, though. When I open or close the door, my brain says there is something wrong, don't move the door or it will break. Overall, it is a nice mod and adds more hinges for support.
  15. I replaced the retainers today. I ordered a package of 70 for $13. They fit like a charm and if they die every year, I will have enough to last 35 years.
  16. Black tank removal procedure:
  17. Welcome and congratulations.
  18. And ordered the hinges but will keep the PITA hook (because I don't want to fill holes in the hull).
  19. You sold me on them. Thanks.
  20. I haven't given much thought to winterizing here in Texas. I leave the gas heater on 52 during the winter and the Aquago in Eco. It did fine down to 20 degrees on some nights. This is when it is not in use. I keep it around 68 when we use it.
  21. I think @Rolindkeeps his Oliver stored in his living room. Not a bad idea, come to think of it.
  22. I've been looking at those. How long have you had them and how well do they work?
  23. The rubber grommets hold the hook in a secure fashion that seems to offer some rattle resistance but I'm not sure it is really needed. Although, it would keep it from bouncing out of the holder when traveling.
  24. I'm going to give these a try based on @Ray Kimsey measurements. https://a.co/d/4tCVm0T
  25. Yes. It seems strange that they would make this out of some fine stainless and then put windshield wiper rubber in the retainer holes.
