As some may recall we've had 2 separate water heater fires in our 2019 EII. In the first case, the water heater was swapped out and the failing unit shipped to Germany for teardown by Truma. The second unit was also defective and had the same behavior after a year on the road. Oliver and the NHTSA have collaborated with Truma on a recall for Truma Water Heaters. Individual Notices to owners are going out in December and January, and I received a letter last week which explains the issue and repair strategy. Attached is the NHTSA Summary Report including the chronology of events. RCLRPT-24V876-7296.PDF The issue has been determined to be inadequate crimping of the burner assembly in manufacturing. This enables the burner tubes to rattle loose and eventually lead to fires in the firebox from tubes that are no longer contained. The manufacturing process has been changed to crimp all the tubes into place and new burner assemblies are being supplied for recall that meet the newer manufacturing process. The recall covers Truma SN less than DLE60C-33096055 (In my case the production patch SN was DLE60C-32123091) Here is the template letter from Oliver to consumers. The specifics of each trailer are unique so you may want to read this generic one to see the Serial Number range for recalled units and compare it to the Truma in your Hull. RCONL-24V876-1556.pdf Oliver will work with you on getting the repair completed. Craig Short Hull 505 - 2019 EII

This map is valuable in showing type and location of recreation across Arizona. E.g.Arizona Land Trust, BLM are shown as well as whether camping is allowed. This map went out of print for a few years but I found a new version recently at a Arizona Tourist Information site. It is a free brochure I highly recommend carrying one of these if you enjoy boondocking in AZ

Yes, it is important to have a pressure regulator. Many campgrounds (and towns) have pressures in the 60 psi range (and more in low lying areas) and can have pressure surges as well. This would be my guess on why your PRV is leaking. I use this regulator - https://www.amazon.com/s?k=pressure+regulators&crid=13OLMOH9Q8P79&sprefix=pressure+regulators%2Caps%2C83&ref=nb_sb_ss_ts-doa-p_1_19

Second New Years for us with the Oliver Family! The BEST 2025 to all!

Absolutely. Water pressure is regulated going in to your home by whatever municipality is providing water service. Or, if like me you are on a private system, installation of a pressure regulator is "imperative" to prevent over pressure. Too high pressure can destroy the pipe and fittings in your home water system. As Dewdev and Topgun2 have explained, "don't leave home" without a pressure regulator for your Oliver, because too many RV campgrounds have poorly designed or installed water (and electrical) systems. You might also consider a water filter. Many campgrounds have water with high mineral content, which can clog your plumbing system. I have a water filter+pressure regulator assembly that I attach to the City Water inlet before connecting a hose to the campground water supply wherever we park.

Many camping spots have water that is delivered to the spigot at pressures that are higher than you should - safely - use in your Oliver - as @dewdev mentions above. Another thing you could try would be to "open" that pressure regulator - simply lift the grey tab on the top of the regulator. This relives the pressure in the "tank and water lines" inside your Oliver. It also can serve to clear any deposit or debris that may have caused the leak. Then close the grey back to its original position - note that this relief valve tab is most likely "spring loaded". Therefore, it should simply "snap" back into place. Bill

That’s just over 1.5A per hour which sounds good with your inverter on. Likely 1AH for inverter only. Happy New Year!!!

Woke up this morning and found water below Truma compartment. Opened the cover and noticed dripping, then streaming from the pressure relief valve. Any suggestions what problem was and how to correct? Much appreciate any help.

The “new Jason” at Oliver Service told me, it is a quick in and out straight forward repair for the Truma. We look forward to getting it buttoned up. 👍🏻 Onward! 🇺🇸

I've never even heard of a voltage booster, or seen one being used. It sounds like it would solve some of the problems I'm having, so I'm going to investigate some more. All of the stuff I'm seeing online is about using this at RV parks, rather than with a residential system. Would love to hear from others who have this booster.

Thanks to both for the information. I will go out and get a regulator today. Appreciate the help! Greetings from LeFleur Bluffs State park!

First Questions: 1. Are you hooked up to City Water? 2. Are you using a device to keep the incomoing water pressure in the Ollie below 40 psi?

Episode 14:

We’ll be in AZ this month and will check the welcome center for this.

The isotherm freezer "hinges" are just small plastic tabs. In my experience, easily broken. I dry the freezer compartment before storage, and the "drain tray", and just leave the door of fridge cracked a bit, propped open so the light doesn't go on, and right against the door so can't open further, towel in the crack. Only repair ever to my isotherm/truckfridge has been replacing the freezer dor, because of the tiny plastic hinge pins. And, my negligence in not defrosting early enough. My bad.

If your batteries are low your charger will draw a larger amount of current which will likely exceed a standard residential outlets current capability. You can adjust the settings in your inverter / charger to lower the charger current. This will require a longer time to recharge your batteries.

Ok time to revive this thread! I know there are mixed feelings about diverting the nature's head urine tank into the Ollies unused black tank. Well, I actually went ahead and did this mod and so far FOR US we absolutely love it, more so for me not havig to dump and clean the 2.2gal urine tank every 2 to 3 days!🙂 Instead of using a ball valve to eliminate any odors from the black tank I used a 1.5" BV1B/UB HepvO Sanitary Waste Valve, and yes we still add some water and vinegar after every use, so there is no odour at all. Obviously there are other ways to do this, and maybe a better way, but here are some pics of how I did it, pretty self explanitory so I will not go into much detail explaining it. Next mod will be to reroute the sink drain to the black tank. Large hole was from factory, I drilled the 3 smaller holes.
