Has anybody replaced their stove / sink your Dweller? Looking to upgrade to something with more BTUs & possibly some wind shields.

Your best option honestly is just don't use it, get a secondary stove and table. That way you can put it where you want, I have a 15' propane hose that I connect to the trailer fitting.

I use the obi stove as counter space.

Yeah, we use a jetboil genesis sometimes, but wondered if anyone upgraded their stove/ sink combo. Bummer to have a stove & not use it.

Redcamp makes a folding aluminum accordion style wind screen, It's what we use with great success.

The Dometic stove that comes with the OBI has one burner at 3,700 btu's and the other at 5,900btu's. Dometic sells another 2 burner unit with near the same cut out footprint that has both burners at 5,900 btu's but the burners are off set, not side by side. Just FYI.

Thanks a bunch!

I have a D15 that rides about 2" lower on the campside, probably due to weight distribution of the trailer.

Does anyone know if there are adjustments to the independent suspension that can be made to correct this? I have Monroe 66440 shocks and they are not adjustable from what I understand.
I have 2022 Dweller 15 with same problem. In looking back when I purchased it new Aug 23 it wasn't leaning. I swapped out the shocks 6 months ago and remember a friend following me on a hunting trip and he said camper was leaning. Same trip, right after shock swap, on way back from Colorado the right rear Triangle tire blew out. Not sure if that had any effect. Now Im looking at the leaning 2 inches. I jacked it up under hitch. The shocks on door side are 1 3/4 inch shorter than other side. These are the Monroe Magnums recommended here. I can visually see the springs are also shorter but not maybe 3/8 inch or so. Not sure problem. I did take fridge out due to its location and nothing changed. Something don't add up. Possibly bad shocks on low side?

Shocks shouldn't effect ride height (out side limiting travel).

Springs set rid height. So either you are loaded heavy on one side vs the other OR your one spring is supporting less than the other. Swap the springs left to right see what happens?

If your shocks are 2" different in height fully extended then maybe they are limiting the rebound on one side? Take them all off drive around the block to reset things and remeasure?

I will try your ideas. The only other thing is the 3 batteries are all on the low side along with fridge and stove. Other than that there isn't anything loaded inside.
