The list should be up tp date as of 11AM April 18 Thanks for contributing!

I second that recommendation. Wait until it's maybe 75% full. John

This is solid evidence that Oliver continues to do the right thing. Regardless of how the 5K rated coupler got to Oliver, Oliver installed it on an Elite II, and took financial responsibility for replacement when it failed, even after expiration of the 1-year warranty. This confirms one of our reasons for choosing an Oliver: a culture of integrity.

Spot On👍

Will do. Kathy and I look forward to seeing you and Carol again!

At the rally ask me about our flood experience and the 2am evacuation!

So everything is working. A/C is running off the batteries as we speak. Woohoo! Shore power to ATS to EMS to MP2 AC IN then AC OUT to panel. GFCI circuit hooked back in to panel, all shore power running through MP2. Finally.... WOooohooo... and power assist is so cool.

We are with the folks that recommended not doing this, in particular if you don’t have a composting toilet.

Timely post. Just switched to BB lithiums and planning a complete Victron conversion. Thanks for the detailed write ups.

LOL. For sure. The handholding was very much appreciated. We are still very seriously considering changing our truck. (Either airbag suspension or Andersen. Not both.) But that won't be until at least next year. Now I'm off to wander around my next National Park: Shenandoah for 10 days. And that's the whole reason I bought this thing. So the plan is working!

I searched this forum and reached out to the community to glean pertinent info; my primary purpose in converting to LFPs was to be able to run the A/C via the inverter for short durations (up to 2 hrs.) during breaks and other stops when underway, and when at the storage facility for cleaning and maintenance. Formerly, I would use one of my dual-fuel generators on propane to cool the Oliver, but now the task is much simpler and a save on propane! Installation of the dedicated TS is very straightforward; I can provide info if a need is determined.

So problem solved regarding no power to cabin. I had left off the main neutral to the bus bar. I had tucked it out of the way and with all those wires I just kept missing it. It was so nice to see the MP2 fired up and everything working in OEM configuration. @Ronbrink, I think you may be right. I have reached out to OTT and support at the place where bought the MP2. I will get it done eventually. At least the bulk of the install is done and I am ready to power some A/C when I get it figured out. Some other small things like the Can BMS port was removed from the new Ekrano monitor so Epoch battery Victron coms won’t work without a cable to convert CAn-BMS to VE.can. Old Cerbo GX has CAN BMS port. Now just to tidy up everything. Made a big mess. SIDE NOTE: OTT did reimburse me for my coupler and hitch. Jason was very helpful. Still investigating but looks like a one-off still. Best, Mike

OTT Forum members reading this really, REALLY need to carefully read the 100s of posts, already provided in the 12 long pages of this thread. Every question asked in the last many days has been asked a good 2-3 times already and answered in considerable detail in the pages above. Bottom line, have your suspension inspected. If your leaf springs show anything but a natural arc, have them replaced. The Alcan product is a good upgrade at a reasonable cost. Mine look fine now, so I have no concern or worry. When needed, replace your leaf springs. It's just that simple.

Congrats! I seem to recall at least a couple of Forum members advising you to stick with the process and things would get better. It looks like you are over the big hurdle. However, be warned, don't let the success go to your head. These things seem to be able to pick a great spot to act up.😇

Since we are a NH team, we tried this. And it seemed to work. Our next stop is 10 days on full hookups, during which I'll also try closing the drain for most of the day. We'll see which is better for us. Thanks, all. P.S. Another Andersen success today. That's three in a row. So, I'm gonna stop mentioning it unless I fail again. And that's a very welcome silence y'all will be hearing. 😀

I don’t know but it looks like the two screws came up from the underside, went through the piece with the igniter, and threaded into the top cover. Are the two bosses in the top cover threaded? Can you look from underneath at the other good burner and see if there’s two screws going up into the top cover? Could that burner never been assembled completely from the start?

Staying weather aware is so important. ✅ I have to admit we have been through a several really rough pop up Tstorms and stayed safe and dry inside XPLOR unplugged from 30a of course. We always try and have a contingency plan such as knowing where the CG storm or local shelter is IF they have one. In cases where the weather is going to be really severe and possibly place us in harms way we may just pack up and just leave a day early. We also avoid camping in flood zones or low areas which are usually near small creeks and mountain streams. Safety first for sure. 👍🏻 This thread is a good reminder! Thanks Mike.

Hi Steve, Thanks for putting this list together. Rhonda Friedberg, middle Tennessee, Hull 62, G02

Wow, that might be the limit of our battery campartment. 920 amp hours…amazing! Looks like they released another 460 battery that’s a little smaller. However, it’s about an inch wider which will not fit two wide in the compartment.

There are two ports on the outside of the trailer. One is labeled for a satellite feed and should be the loose cable in the attic. the other cable is labeled for cable and should be connected to the back side of the tv amplifier along with the cable from the digital hd antenna. (Both connections are behind the cover plate of the tv amplifier. in my trailer those two cables were inadvertently mis labled at the factory. I plugged the CATV onto the satellite drop inpu and it worked. Maybe check that the cables are really connected from the CATV input in the side of the trailer to the amplifier connection behind the cover plate in the attic.

I have the same knowledge deficit! Glad you asked. GJ

Hi All, I have not been able to get the cable tv to work at campgrounds that have cable. I turn the booster off and try searching for the cable imput on the tv and it doesn't have a listing for it. I noticed there is a loose cable laying in the storage cabinet above the tv, I plugged it into the cable imput beside the booster light and still nothing. I'm sure it is something I am doing wrong. Can someone smarter than me help me out? Elite 11 #1443 2023 Diesel GMS 2500 Denali Thank You, Mark

I have a 2022 Oliver Trailer with a Dometic Stove D21 installed. One of the burners is loose and there are no screws attaching it to the stove. I do not know if screws ever existed or if the screws fell out & down. If screws once existed there are likely in the underside pan cover space. I have not tried to take the stove apart. (Photo attached) I will check when I purchased the Oliver and the stove in 2022 when home so I am unsure whether the stove is under the 24 month warranty or not. However, if one were to attempt to repair (reinstall the two screws) is this accomplished by remove the top stove from the top of the counter OR dropping the stove "under pan" below the stove and behind the drawers. Depending on which repair option is correct any information on how to conduct the repair process. Thanks

The answer is on your axle decal. We now know of two sources for our axle configuration number. As posted above, the first one is Nuera Trans, and now we add Tex Trail. If the specifications were different between the two, they would have different configuration numbers. You will want to contact TexTrail for your build sheet, and then verify the numbers against your axle measurements if you can. GJ

Our original 5200lb axles & springs (5 leaf) on our 2015 LE2 have not given us any trouble, believe Scuba/RX said there have been no failures with these springs reported on Ollies. We try to avoid rough roads as much as possible and go slow over railroad tracks. One time in Montana we came to a construction zone and was directed to a temporary road. It was terrible (we drove really slow), so terrible three of the four AC mounting bolts broke in a another camper before Ollie. Should have turned around and found the long way around, my fault.🙃 Should try what MaxBurner tried, if memory serves, riding in Ollie with my Wife driving the TV to see how good or bad the ride is in Ollie. 🙂
