The shock bolts are 16mm diameter. You can use a 5/8 inch bolt and have no problems. You will need to measure the length.

On the topic of winterizing, here is my basic procedure for winterizing my D13. Drain both fresh water tanks. I pull the main drain plugs on each tank with a 41mm 6-point socket. Briefly run the pump, with a faucet cracked open, and alternate the supply valve to ensure the supply lines from...

I purchased my D13 in 2021. I've winterized and de-winterized for three seasons now. In addition, I have run the tanks dry on several occasions. It took a few times for me to get the hang of priming the water system. My D13 came with a Seaflo 42 series pump. I think that is what they are...

Look at my post #95 and #96 in this thread. I’ve been hauling bikes on this tongue mounted rack for 2+ years and 10k+ miles. It has worked out great. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My 2021 D13 did not come with a front Anderson connector. It did have the same 50 Amp breaker which on my trailer was connected to the 12V+ on your 7-pin trailer connector. I now have Anderson Power's SBS X-75A sealed waterproof connector with 4 AWG cables on both sides. I replaced the 50...

Thanks for sharing this. You certainly are not over reacting. I can only imagine your disappointment as you discovered this. For all the reasons you mention, this looks like one of the most unprofessional commercial (or DIY) electrical installations I have seen. Kingdom Camping was on my...

Thanks for sharing. I've been wanting to explore BB State Park. - Is Las Burras an out-and-back or a loop? - If it is out-and-back, did you have any issues coming back out? One comment on your towing set-up - If you are planning to keep towing with the Taco, or anything else for that...

Several people on the FB group that camp in hotter climates have installed secondary rooftop AC units. I really only cool things off when sleeping and have found the HB9000 under bed unit to be satisfactory when the outdoor temp is under 90F. I have done some minor modifications to the under...

No issues and I have pounded mine pretty hard.

@rehammer81 - There is a lip, but it is not for indexing the roof to the body. There are assemblies inside the Dweller in both the front and the rear that serve as the lift arms and they also locate the top when it is lowered (see photo). On the outside, there are the lateral and longitudinal...

There really is no way for the roof to get misaligned that I can see. The only adjustment are on the rear scissors which have adjustment for fore and aft (see photo). It took a lot of force to break that latch. I don't think it happened from the body flexing. With the stout chassis under my...

@Brewkid - Two things to check: Is the Main breaker on the 120V distribution panel turned on? Are you turning on the inverter/charger using the switch on the Renogy remote control panel? When plugged into shore power, you should see the voltage increase almost immediately when you turn on the...

Check out my post #300 <link>. More than one year, and numerous showers later, the 3M 4411N sealing tape is continuing to stay adhered to both the ensuite walls and cassette toilet plastic. It looks the same as the day I installed it. Working with the tape is a bit tricky because it is so...

I agree on both points. When I cut the hole in the front of my D13 to install the pressurization intake, it looked like the inner skin of the sidewall is a gel-coated random mat fiberglass panel. From the smell when I cut it, I think it is a polyester resin, not epoxy. It was thicker than I...

Here is what I think. This is all just speculation from looking at the two pictures you posted: "Something" has caused the lower skin of the roof structure to fail. Either is was faulty construction or some exterior load over-stressed the structure. An exterior load could have happened at...

You heard the noise as you were popping up the top on your D15? If there are no signs of exterior damage (something landing on the roof), and if you had all of the exterior cover latches unhooked, then you should expect this to be a warranty-covered issue. For those of us no longer under...

If you plan to use the HB9000 heat pump, I would suggest leaving the hole as-is or covering the hole with a louvered grill. All of the make-up air for the heat pump is drawn under the bed through the existing louvered opening. I think it is marginally sized and adding some additional intake...

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...
