Current draw is listed as 5 to 11 amps depending on the pressure and flow. The tighter I can seal up the Dweller the less current it will draw. Since I will be primarily using the blower while attached to the tow vehicle, current draw was not my primary consideration. My tow vehicle is fused...

I thought you'd never ask. I've got a new project going on to try to address my Dweller’s appetite for inhaling dust on gravel roads. I getting tired of this: Here is a preview of the work-in-progress: Everything is going well so far. However, if this doesn’t work out, you will need to...

If anyone is curious about the wall construction on a Dweller, here is a core sample from the front wall of my D13. From right to left: Outer Skin is aluminum. It measures 0.063” which is a bit thicker than 16 gauge. Core is some type of blue foam that measured about 0.890” Inner Skin is...

Yes they are alive. I discussed with John Roemer several weeks ago. According to him, McHitch US is unaffected by the shuttering of McHitch AUS. In his words, "... I have taken control of all of McHitch manufacturing and distribution. I am currently working on setting up another distributor...

1. Yes...pointless and worthless. Like @gendlert , I use a torpedo level with a magnetic base...works great. 2. You certainly have a bad lift cylinder. My lid "springs open" when unlatched. One would hope that OBI would toss a couple of new struts in the mail to you. If OBI lets you down...

The required strut force is going to depend on the total weight of your lid + RTT and the placement of the struts. Here is a picture of the strut placement on my M416 lid. Total weight of my lid with rack is approximately 210lbs. No RTT. I have a single strut on the front. The lid opens...

@BernieMulcahy - Yes. When I got my new tow vehicle this fall, I did have an issue with the vehicle recognizing the trailer brakes. I have a Ram 1500 with a factory trailer brake controller (TBC). When I first hooked up my D13, it would not recognize the brakes. It is a long story and I...

Take a look at @gendlert 's post #131 in this thread. He does a very good job walking through the installation specifics. He targeted 150 ft-lbs which is reasonable. @CowboyKyle also posted a video link of his shock swap in post #300.

Some quick thoughts on installing a sink - I have considered this modification, but I ended up deciding that for the few occasions when I need an indoor sink of doing dishes, or whatever, I will just use the ensuite sink. I'm not sure of the layout differences of a D15 vs. a D13. On a D13...

With water in the front tank only, if you turn the lever so that pump is drawing from the rear (empty) tank, there "should be" no way that water can migrate from the front tank into the rest of the water system. I am sorry to hear that you are still having issues with towing and rocking. I...

Thanks! It is a 1Up bike rack on a custom mount I made. See posts #95 and #96 in this thread for details. I have used this setup pretty hard over the last year and it has worked out great.

No concerns with the ice cream thawing out now! Nicely done and documented. I'm still running my AGM batteries, but I am working to learn the intricacies of LiFePO4 installation. Here are a couple of comments/suggestions/questions: On my D13, the positive and negative cables from the 3 AGM...

This is the shore cord mine came with. It also came with a 50A to 30A adapter and a 30A to 15A/20A adapter https://a.co/d/3Yas2tj

Yeah, that needs to be addressed. Taping like you mention and/or adding a grommet would be a good option. I just looked at my D13 and the propane line does not route though that hole. This may be an option for you.

I’m looking forward to seeing pictures and getting the virtual tour. Good luck with the road trip. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Jounce Bumper Spacer Installation Here is a high-level overview of the procedure I followed to install my spacers. If you choose to follow this procedure proceed at your own risk! Trailers are heavy and springs are dangerous. Thoroughly block and stabilize your trailer. The parking brake...

The Dweller as designed and delivered is not perfect. However, the short comings that have been discovered and documented by myself and others are relatively easily modified or fixed. Overall the D13 has some solid bones. I don't want to start an arguement of "mine's better", but the design...

I made another "harsh" discovery on my D13. The suspension jounce bumpers, the bumpers located in the middle of the coil springs, are totally non-functional. The jounce bumper's job is to prevent an abrupt and harsh bottoming out of the suspension under full compression. As delivered from...

I have not upgraded house batteries yet. Changing to 3 x 100Ah LiFePO4 battereis would reduce the weight by a bit over 100 lbs. which should reduce any static lean. It would be interesting to get a weight on each tire but I don't have a good way to do that.

I hadn't noticed before, but I do have a slight passenger side lean. I just measured my D13 which is parked and level both side-to-side and front-to-back. The measurement from the ground to the fender is 34-1/4" on the passenger side and and even 35" on the driver side.
