It depends on the build-spec of your Dweller. My '22 D13 was built in the first half of 2021. The parking brake cable is pretty primitive on it; it is a vinyl-coated cable routed through guides that are welded to the frame. The ends of the cable are looped through the parking brake...

I did set up the TV outside just once to see whether it would work. It worked fine. I have since pulled out the TV out of my D13 as well as the interior table top. We spend very little time sitting around inside, but we find a small portable folding table to work much better for the two of...

I've owned my Dweller for 2 years this week. It was built in Q2-2021, but it is titled as a 2022. I'm have the stock AGM batteries, solar panels, solar charger and inverter. My refrigerator is the SnoMaster 96 Liter Low Profile Dual Compartment (which is fantastic). It is ridiculously...

All good questions. I agree it would be good practice to check and insure that there is not dirt or mud buildup on the inlet and outlet openings. I'm not sure whether it is practical to clean the coils with water, compressed air, or coil cleaner. As with most systems on the Dweller, there...

The HB9000 is a heat pump. Underneath the HB9000 are two rectangular openings. These are the intake and outlet for the "outdoor coil" (the condenser in A/C mode). See the attached drawing which I grabbed from the www.rank-orc.com website. What is on the underside of the Dweller are the...

This is on my list of projects for this fall. No criticisms at all, but some questions: I am assuming that your Dweller , like mine, did not come with an Anderson connector at the tongue. Can you provide specifics on the green wire you ran, wire gauge, etc.? I am guessing it is a sheathed...

We chatted about this when I was vehicle shopping last fall. There are lots of manufacturers, brands and models. For me, it came down to a Rebel vs. Power Wagon decision. Of course there are plenty of 3/4-ton class pickups that have superior payload and towing capacities. It was surprising...

Yeah, that surprised me as well. What I also found interesting, is that when I went across the scales in May 2022, I had 2 bikes on the tongue. I had no bikes with me last week yet the tongue weight was 40 lbs greater (720 lbs vs. 680 lbs) this time without the bikes. I am attributing the...

I see more and more people here and on the FB group are pulling their Dwellers with mid-size SUVs and pickups. I ran my Dweller 13 across the CAT Scales with both of my tow vehicles. When I did this with the Grand Cherokee, I had full fuel and a full load in the Jeep. As you can see, I was...

Look at my posts #95 and #96 in this thread. I’ve had this set up for a couple of years and driven with it over many miles of rough road. It has worked out great.

I found a good use for the hose on the outdoor spigot. Last week we camped for a couple of nights under some tall fir trees. When we were breaking camp and packing up the Dweller, the awning was covered with pitch-covered fir needles. I dropped the front of the awning as low as I could and...

For the entryway, I have found that a bristle door mat works great <link>. It can be cut to size and it does not fray, the depth is perfect, it catches "a lot" of dirt, and it is easy to remove and shake out.

Here is what I came up with for a window cover for the door. The bill-of-materials is pretty simple: 4 ea - Command 3 lb. Medium Oil Rubbed Bronze Metal Hooks <link> 2 ea - 1/2-inch round dowel rod cut to length 4 ea - 1/2-inch Gray Rubber Protectors <link> For the actual curtain, I had a...

We've got a seaport. The Port of Lewiston is at 738'

United still has a flight magazine? I’m not sure which is more surprising. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

There are separate fill ports for the water tanks on my 22 D13. The cap which sort of looks like a locking gas cap is the fill port for the front water tank. The fill port for the rear water tank is located behind the locking access cover for the city water connection. Sent from my iPhone...

This is 100% "educated speculation" and I may be wrong, but I bet that their fix to the sway problem was moving the batteries forward from the rear compartment to the dinette seat compartment in order to increase tongue weight. I can not think of any other reason they would move the batteries...

Here is a quick write up on the pressurization system I designed and installed in my Dweller. It is going to be several months before I will be able to comment on the overall effectiveness, but I am cautiously optimistic that this system, combined with my efforts to seal up the Dweller, will...

When @rblitz had issue with his struts, I looked up the numbers on mine. The key specs are: 370mm (14.6") extended length, 130mm (5.1") stroke, 260N (60lb) force. Rblitz said he had located struts on Amazon for about $60 in the case that OBI did not warrant them. I do not know whether he ever...

This is a GREAT post and I could not agree more. With the proper shocks, the proper tongue weight, AND the properly set up tow vehicle, a D13 is a very comfortable rig to tow at highway speeds. I do think a sway bar is an interesting idea, particularly if you could easily disconnect it. I...
