Just spent four days in a state forest here in the Mid-Atlantic. As it was our first trip in the D15, this was basically a dry-run to work out kinks and make sure we're set up for longer trips. We learned a lot about how the Dweller works and what we do and don't like and may want to modify...

The Anderson plug I installed (because the cigarette adapter never stayed in) was correctly wired. The damage to the fridge wire was just enough for the slide rail to make contact which cause the fuse to blow. All by design, just wish it wasn't right before our trip! Anyway, all good now.

I had pulled the control panel off of the fridge and inspected the 15 amp inline fuse there and it was OK. Just checked the fuse panel (screwed on cover plate? that's not helpful) and indeed the fridge fuse was blown. Threw a new one in there and everything lit up. Thanks from me (and my wife...

Disaster. Leaving on the maiden voyage tomorrow AM and when retracting the fridge tray the cord jammed in the track, and cut into the wire. The fridge (ICECO VL90) won't turn on. Popped the front panel and checked the 15A fuse assuming a short blew it, but it wasn't burnt. Swapped out a new fuse...

So are you actually leveling the rig with these? I wasn't clear from ARK's product page if leveling (i.e., supporting the full weight) was an application. I assume it would be since the load capacity is so high. How easy is it to crank them? Can you use a battery-powered drill to do that or does...

Nice, thanks for sharing. Did the larger jacks require any additional fitting or fabrication or did they just mount in the same location as the OEM jacks?

Purdy. Congrats. I notice the jockey wheel is mounted much farther forward than mine. Interesting.

I found out that I can upgrade the spring arms on my Blue Ox to 700Lb tongue weight and that would increase the max tow capacity of the hitch to 7,000 lbs. But I also ran into another complication. The Blue Ox head has a round profile and the McHitch receiver needs to clamp onto a rectangular...

What make/model WD hitch are you using? Any issues getting the McHitch receiver to fit? I have a Blue Ox BXW0350 I used with my popup but the Dweller is too heavy for that.

Crap. McHitch is out of business. https://www.mchitch.com.au/

Thanks. Yes I had seen the ROA video on that and wasn't convinced that it would address roll. Sway itself is a pivoting at the hitch in a lateral direction (basically fishtailing.) My experience with the OBi has been very different: the rolling/rocking of the trailer is more of a vertical...

Thanks both. I have a query out to OBi on the struts. I did track down those particular struts on the interwebs and looks like they're in the $60 price range.

Are they responsive to those kinds of requests? I'd think that most manufacturers would say "take the trailer to your dealer if it's under warranty". Yeah, I really like it; so easy to hitch up. I think it's just a problem with any fully articulating hitch in that is allows for freedom of...

It's the standard McHitch that comes with the OBi Dweller. Agreed regarding semis; I'll have to change my driving style to purely defensive.;)

A couple of random observations/questions. 1. This thing is pointless if it's supposed to tell me the level of my trailer. I have my trailer 100% level side-to-side, front-to-back and look at the bubbles. Why even bother with this or am I missing something about the purpose of this bubble...

This weekend I replaced my stock shocks with the Monroe 66440 shocks researched and mentioned by WillySwan. I got a decent deal of $37.5 for each at Rockauto.com. Installation was pretty easy although one of the brackets was too narrow and it took some finagling to get the upper bolt in place...

Exciting! We got ours in November and haven't even had a chance to christen it. First trip is a state forest in April then a roadtrip from the Mid-Atlantic to Mammoth Cave in Kentucky. Will post any "discoveries" from those trips.

I went the camlock route for the grey water. 1.25" camlock connects to a 1.25" to 40mm adapter. I took off the downward facing elbow and used a new elbow facing towards the trailer's driver side then used the extra 40mm pipe to extend to right under the side frame. I'm not really too concerned...

My wife and I were about one month away from buying a Cougar 1/2 ton and we started researching RV quality and got really "depressed". Then a light bulb went off: given the growth in RVing, we were competing with a huge number of "campers" for scarce spaces. We love tent camping but getting...

How much did you torque the shock bolts? Just ordered my shocks and plan on swapping out the factory ones in a week or two.
