Check your 7 pin. If it gets water in it the on board 12v battery will trigger. see this posting https://4-ever-hitched.com/blog-articles/f/why-were-my-tail-lights-on-all-night tail lights on ??

New to posting to the forum… Our LE 1 (#454) is unhitched and on the pad in our back yard. Some of the tail lights have come on spontaneously. Anyone had this and have a fix? Thanks - Russ Brogden

When first fired up, the Chill Cube in med-high fan makes about 30% of the noise of the Dometic P2. Once the cabin cools and it's variable speed compressor and fans gear down, its whisper quiet sound must be <5% of the awful P2! It's by far the quietest A/C unit I've ever heard. Wonderful easy sound for an afternoon nap in the Oliver! 😎 And for us, power requirements are very important, so to run our A/C on battery/inverter.

Both the Chill Cube and the Fresh Jet are quieter than our old Penguin. Do we know which is the quietest? The choices for AC replacement are growing!

Have you used your jack yet, and did it extend high enough for the Oliver to not require additional cribbing?

Greetings Oliver Family -- I have a couple of items that I need help with on my 2022 Oliver LE2 and I wonder if anyone has used Mobile Techs in Florida. I'm down along the SW Coast, though I am interested in knowing about any Mobile Techs here in the state, for future reference. * Reports on Good or Bad experiences can be useful * Thanks in advance for any suggestions!

OTT needs to get with it! Brinkley installs the Furrion Chill Cube. 😎 That’s 9 less than 3 feet from a freight train! 🤣

I ran that list through the Harvest Hosts app. Two are HH sites: St. James Winery Serenity Valley Winery As an aside, we've been using our Harvest Hosts more lately. Works well out east where there are fewer options. Some favorite experiences: TLC Tree farm (with great microbrew beers) Broad Creek Alpaca farm (For Steph's crocheting hobby.) Air Heritage Aviation Museum (For me. Parked right next to a F4 Phantom.) Shenandoah Caverns (Did the cavern tour.)

Us too. We had it for a year and used it 2-3 times on a long trip last summer. We'd rather boondock when possible or stay at a NF campgrounds, half-off with the Senior Pass. A trip to Arkansas and Missouri should be sometime in our future...

That's right Lance, but I had both wheels off on that side, weight off, suspension hanging, and still 1 of 6 wet-bolts would not take grease. Loosened the nut and turned it just a few degrees and it took grease. Not the best case but it's all I had the patience for. I retorqued it where it took grease, so maybe I get lucky next time. I'm going to service annually, always jacked-up wheels off, bearings check, greasing then torquing suspension, blowing out the brake shoe dust to keep the brakes clean inside, tightening the "self"-adjusters, checking amp draw at each wheel, etc. I'll write this up in detail when I get done with this work later this week.

Nice Bill, your new Sendel wheels are beautiful 😎 and a little stronger than their same model of 10 years ago. I was wondering why the load on mine stated 110 PSI with both 3,200 and 3,750 LBS weights listed? Yours has PSI ratings 80 / 100 and load ratings 3,300 and 3,960 LBS, so the load weights must be based on the two PSI numbers. Most of us run 45 - 55 PSI and carry 6K +/- LBS GVW. I built a weight table for our upgraded Oliver Suspension: If your still towing on OEM Dexter 1750 springs, then 7K is Max and you should worry about this common point of failure until you upgrade. Installed the 4-pack Alcan set? Then @ 2,250 each, 9,000 LBS is the Max Load. Oliver EII DOT stickers all state 7,000 GVWR anyway. If you've seen Steve's custom interior work and other additions, the weight of Hull #50 is right up there at the top in Oliver GVW! 3x may be an exaggeration, but if it's >10K then we have a 10K suspension with these upgrades, legal or not.

If you like nerding out on details ... Here's the control boxes, yay more LED's to cover at night. But see below, this might be just the PP model, or an early idea Here's the Ecoflow. That spot is blank on mine, unfortunately I lose cabinet space for no useful purpose The battery looks like a standard ecoflow bolted in there, with all the electronics and casing. No space to do a side by side like with the Lithionics. 5 kWh base, I have about 9 kWh with the Lithionics upgrade (which cost $$). Jason says it can be supplemented, maybe he means the Ecoflow daisy chaining feature with an external battery They dropped the vents. Those Ecoflows have built in active cooling and fans, maybe they figure that's good enough? Still need to dump heat somehow Different picture on the websidte compared to the Austin demo model. Two control panels and not one on the side pantry wall. Bottom is the tanks, the top looks like the Truma with the control knob. Probably something similar.

Thanks for catching me in time 😅 Yeah it's the two most forward that are the troublemakers. I'm off to mooch camp this weekend I'll do it there. I'll be over near Alcan this summer so just set up an appointment. Unfortunately they won't install my GM TPS - Oliver decided not to do it either. Having a hard time getting that taken care of.

OK from the image looks like the Freshjet 5 series. Headline features is low profile, it's a direct "Penguin II" replacement, but advertised as 'up to 9 dB quieter'. For ceiling register there's two options, from the interior image looks like maybe this one with the front vents, just a basic mechanical I'd get excited if somebody came out with something truly quiet, like what you get with a ducted mini-split. I don't understand why they keep making hard start AC's, put an inverter on there (PWM type control) with a truly variable fan speed.

I did consider this method too @jd1923 but by the time I got to this point honestly I was tired of working on the project. FWIW in the conversation when I measured DC voltage it perfectly matched the current SOC of my Epoch battery which at that time was 14.4 volts. This gave me assurance there was no voltage drop. I want to add this is not an easy install nor a quick one either. Now for the vast majority of campers it probably takes a couple of hours max but due to the Olivers lack of a basement foundation and access one has to re-engineer a platform for the WH to rest one. The old 1x1.5 aluminum tube originally used which by the way was very wobbly on my unit due to the bolts used not being screwed all the way in. Worse still bouncing had called some indentation on the insulation of old WH creating a less than ideal surface for the unit to rest on. Reusing this piece sideways with a 1/4 shim installed on top seemed to provide the right height of 1.25 inches. The new Fogatti is much shorter than the older Suburban thus the change in support position. It's also considerably lighter in weight too not to mention the extra 50 lbs of water you're carrying with a Suburban. For anyone contemplating this change there are other things to consider. The soft copper tubing to the WH is far too long for the new Fogatti which requires a significant amount of bending or shortening. If shortened then one has to also buy a flaring tool if you can even find one. I couldn't. Since the copper tubing on the Oliver runs along the outside of the trailer this is the harder/stiffer version of soft copper tubing which means it's a ***** to bend and maneuver. This was quite the wrestling match given the cramped access in the Oliver. Water fittings have to be re-considered as well. I chose to use two double threaded nipples to join the old half inch fittings attached to the pex pipe with a short run of flex water pipe to the NPT connections on the WH. The old pex pipe does not even come close to lining up with the location of the new NPT connections. While my method works not sure this was the best arrangement and may revisit it at some point. I also might revisit my method of creating a platform for the new unit to rest on. According to Fogatti what I did was fine but only by a half inch or so. Eventually I might create a second platform further toward the back of the unit supported by the frame of the trailer. Also considering using spray foam insulation under new unit but this can get messy if not done right, but it would provide a decent foundation for the unit to rest on. Hope this helps

#75 tag, Installed Goodyear Endurance ST225/75R/15E 80PSI spare tire mounted on SenDel S20 15X6 3200lb wheel, since a LT225/75R/16E will not fit in the 2015 fiberglass spare tire housing:

I let mine lapse too. Every time I tried to use it the host NEVER called me back.

They are using a Dometic FreshJet A/C.

Received new SenDel S20 wheels to install on our Oliver replacing the original ION wheels. Purchased 16X6 wheels, installing the LT225/75R/16 Coopers already mounted on Ion wheels for two more years, before replacing tires.

Do not rotate bolt. Instead, jack up trailer to remove weight from suspension. Grease should then be able to be introduced. This is a common situation and remedy when greasing two rearmost zerks

Started suspension maintenance today, so got a pic of the back of our wheels. I can zoom in, to see the SenDel brand trailer wheels, made in China, 6x16jj rims, 110 PSI Max, 3,200 LBS load rating.

Thank you for all your information. I really want one, but have spent too much on the Oliver already. I want the one with the grey front since I have that trim theme now. https://fogattiliving.com/products/fogatti-instashower-ultra-66-000-btu-rv-tankless-water-heater-with-grey-door I see now that without the border trim it's a 15" square. Thanks again. For your ground, what you did is fine. Or you could run a new ground wire around the back to the streetside and to the main ground bus. I have all grounds connected from here by the two 8 AWG green wires going left to the Inverter ground terminal, to the battery ground. Chassis ground is good, but direct copper wire connections are better.

(Regarding no Truma anymore) Yeah with Truma integration you either use it all or use nothing. What are they using for the PP model heat/water/AC? Yeah it’s not Truma, I don’t recognize it
