  1. I suggest that you obtain a hygrometer - something like this: .... https://smile.amazon.com/dp/B0013BKDO8/ref=sxts_sxwds-tsp_1?pf_rd_m=ATVPDKIKX0DER&pf_rd_p=3155180962&pd_rd_wg=FhpkX&pf_rd_r=6GBFA7CT378JZ1F1YEF8&pf_rd_s=desktop-sx-top-slot&pf_rd_t=301&pd_rd_i=B0013BKDO8&pd_rd_w=rLlAR&pf_rd_i=hygrometer&pd_rd_r=N5S99FJY4FRXEM4JN1A1&ie=UTF8&qid=1501951172&sr=1 And keep close track of the inside humidity for a while. If it is constantly higher than outside you still have a leak somewhere. A band aid fix is to buy a good medium capacity 120vac dehumidifier, that could sit on the counter and run the moisture down the sink drain, but I think you should eliminate the obvious possibilities before doing that. And you would need power to the trailer to run it constantly. You could replace the mat in the cargo hold with something that will be self-ventilating, but that does not address the issue of how the moisture is getting inside. You do NOT want this to keep happening or you will get mold problems eventually. http://www.doityourselfrv.com/reduce-condensation-prevent-mold-forming-rv/ Good luck. I am really glad I no longer live in a climate where I have to worry about this stuff..... It's been about 16% RH lately here. John Davies Spokane WA

  2. On April 12, 2017, our Legacy Elite II was hooked to OTT’s forklift and brought outside into the sunshine, ready to be hitched to our tow vehicle. After six months of research, planning, consulting, and finally building our baby, (“Olivia”) the day had finally arrived. From the first phone call to Anita last year and our reliance on her knowledge, Jason’s expertise, and help from OTT’s able-bodied service crew, our specifications, dreams and wishes were fulfilled, and the final product was ready for the road! After owning multiple RVs and travel trailers over the last 18 years, and witnessing the “quantity over quality” mentality become the norm in the industry, it was exciting to learn that Oliver Travel Trailers is bucking that trend and offering a hands-on, custom-built product. OTT’s business model is what any RV manufacturer should aspire to. In our experience, their customer service is stellar. Any issues we had (which were very few) were handled quickly with patience and total accountability in doing the right thing for the customer. Every time we use our beautiful Oliver, or show her to potential buyers, we are grateful for our good fortunate at having discovered OTT, and proud/confident in recommending their products and customer service to anyone. We just wanted to take a moment here to share our experience with anyone reading the forum for the first time. Have fun, and enjoy the wild, blue yonder! Malcolm and Ursula

  3. It was not obvious to me as to how to do this. This site helped me. http://noshockzone.org/generator-ground-neutral-bonding/

  4. A neutral ground bonding plug is needed to solve this problem. Maybe John found one in his drawers, but we did not have one when we picked up our Ollie. This is covered in a post from Tommy Staggs, along with ScubaRx's low cost solution: http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/generator-use-with-hard-wired-surge-protector/

  5. I live in South Florida where the humidity is always high and in the summer you set your kitchen clock for when the afternoon rains start. We have had our Oliver for over 3 years and never experienced what you are talking about I would look for possible water intrusion being trapped under the mat. We do use Damp rid in the camper when sitting and it does help try putting one in the compartment and see it it helps. Good Luck. Thanks Gary

  6. We used to use DampRid in our Casita, it's a great product that comes in different styles.

  9. I have to very much agree with the others! We took delivery of our camper in April and about a month ago returned from our first trip of 7 weeks. Yes we've had just a few of small issues along the way. Jason and all the service folks have always gone way above and beyond to take care of whatever the problem is. Seldom have I found folks so interested in the customer and their product. We enjoy showing our Oliver to others and the complements we get at almost every campground. Oliver is a great company to deal with!

  12. I called Jason... It sounds like they are either adopting or using your set up John. They are waiting to have it approved. Jason wasn't familiar with this thread, so he's going to look at it and call me back.

  13. John, Remember, there is no glue that works on polyethylene. It's inert and that is why it has to be welded. So with any mechanical connection there must be a gasket, or thread sealer or something. Those deck plates have a small O ring and the tank is flexible. Screws would have to go clear through and be nutted. Not a reliable system for a poly tank. I'm not sure there's room to get it in there either. Maybe. I'll look later with that in mind. I'm not confidant that it would hold the sloshing impact of the tank water. If so, and you could get your hand in there , it would be a way to install a bulkhead fitting for the suction line. I don't think I'd trust it. Another way to gain access later would be to install a 1 1/2" spinweld fitting and then bush it down to 3/4" for the new dip tube. Later, if needed, the bushing could be unscrewed to give a large enough hole to get a vacuum hose in. As far as renting/lending the tools, etc. I'm not doing any commercial stuff till I discuss it with Oliver so as to not conflict with their forum rules. It might be possible to rent the stuff and each person do their own work, but that seems unlikely. It might be possible to do the mod at a rally. Who knows at this point. It is definitely a good fix though. It works and it retrofits fairly easily.
