Hopefully the electrician knows that the RV plug is only 110 (120) volts? Some look at it like a dryer plug and wire it 220?

Disconnect the remote display cable and see if it works now. I am not 100% positive, but I think it will work without a remote. John Davies Spokane WA

Well that’s a data point. Not the one I was expecting but it does add a piece to the puzzle. It seems that it is either a ground/ neutral bond issue at the house breaker box (or sub box that is feeding the circuits you tested) or it is an issue in the PD Surge Protection system. Other than that I’ll have to scratch my head a bit. Intermit issues are the worst to trouble shoot. You could try unplugging everything then plug back in with the 115 adapter and see if the fault happens after about the same time. If you have a neighbor close by that you are on good terms with you could try plugging in there for a while or you may replace the items Furion sends you and see what that does... - Randy

Pulled into Whitestar Campground on Twin Lakes in Colorado yesterday afternoon without a reservation and snagged a great campsite. When we walked up to our picnic table to check out view, imagaine our surprise, another Oliver!

I am surprised a remote monitor has anything to do with the performance of the unit. I would think disconnecting the monitor would not affect the unit. Looks like I need to read the documentation. That's kind of like saying the remote start on the Xantrex inverter, if disconnected prevents the Xantrex from powering up from the faceplate switch. Taking the remote out of the picture - should clear up the issue - if that is the fault - Before I read the manual - I'm betting there is something else happening, probably a grounding/neutral connection problem. Bad grounds cause electronic circuits to do weird things. But I've been wrong before.

Thanks Randy did not think of that '' just hooked up to House juice we will see how that work Surge Protector likes it so far''................

Did you try using another house circuit through the 115volt adapter? If everything works fine with that circuit, the problem is probably the wiring in the 30 amp circuit. - Randy

Thanks'' I understand. A little more to the story, was after i had the 30amp service installed i noticed the shore tie plug did not seem to engage properly as one would want. So i recall the License Electrician who installed, we took the box apart and the fuse panel and discovered poor connections as well as the job required a ground bar. After that is when i discovered the regular loss of power going to the Oliver. I am sort of reluctant to recall the Electrician again but am not confident enough to by pass the surge protector. Jason recommended i un plug and replug both ends of the cable running to the monitor as there is history on this happening to others. Progressive said they would send out parts (new monitor and cable ) I will install and we will see where that goes. And the question on weather the monitor/ cable suspected failure could shut down the 30amp service is Yes'' as i have been told they need to talk to each other before 30 amp will be excepted.

Yukon, Just to be clear, I’m not recommend you use one of the bonding plugs used for certain generators. I’m pointing out that there may be a bonding problem between neutral and ground in your shore power wiring. - Randy

Yukon, I get the same error code (E9) when I use my Honda EU2200i generator. That blocks power from the generator from being used. When using the generator I use the remote switch to by-pass the surge suppressor protection as I feel power from the generator is good. The surge suppressor works fine (E0) when connected to shore power. It seems something in the power from the generator is causing the error code. I remember reading in another post about issues with ground bonds between neutral and ground for certain generators. I’m posting this info for you because you may be having a similar type issue going on with your shore power. You may also try using your 115v adapter and see if you get the same error when plugged in to another circuit.

Don, Sorry to hear about the woes of your travel experience up this way. I feel your pain! FWIW, this is not a new situation with fires in just the last couple of years. I've lived in Montana for over 40 years and yes there were always threats of fires and a few cropped up from time to time, probably the most famous being the Yellowstone fires of 1988 but even that was unusual in those days. I used to live here for the summers, certainly not the winters, having frost bitten my feet a couple of times with long cross country ski trips. Anymore summers are a season of dread, I'm dead serious about this. Air quality here in SW Montana is awful now although our fire season started considerably later than all of our neighboring states, mostly due to the extreme winter we had with heavy snow. But we get smoke from fires in other states as far away as CA, NV, OR and or WA and others. What I am getting to is we have been experiencing wide spread western fire seasons such as this for what has to be a decade ± a year or so by now, and doubt there will be much of an end to it anytime soon if ever. I can understand those who want to come earlier (May & June), and you can certainly do that but understand there will still be lots of snow in the mountains meaning hiking becomes very difficult if not impossible unless you're an extremist. For active people you might end up with a windshield tour of the area rather than a true outdoor adventure unfortunately. Weather can also be highly unpredictable during these months too. Its not at all uncommon to experience 1-3 foot blizzards and snowstorms during April and May, (they are a given in Mar-Apr) here in Bozeman at just under a mile high. I have photographs to prove it too. But on a good year May and early June can be downright gorgeous with snow capped peaks and green grass and fields that defy the imagination. Just don't expect to bag too many peaks during this time. Lower elevation cycling is generally good however during this period, albeit a bit brisk and chilly at times. Come prepared. Feel free to contact me directly for any future trips, be glad to provide an on the ground report. Hope this helps, but probably not too encouraging.

HI, We’re Kevin and Kathi Main and we’ll be joining this fine group of Oliver owners in January of 2019. We’ve already booked our space for the rally in Alabama in May. We’re very excited to be exploring and thoroughly enjoy reading everyones tips, suggestions and recommendations. Happy Trails
