It can and has been done. I’ve got video and photos of mine coming off.

You have 225 usable amp hours (50%)

For anyone with the L5P Duramax (2017 or later) yesterday I got a check engine light. My Bosch OBDII scanner showed an error code of P0133A. It turned out the truck needed a software update for the Glow Plug Command Module. It might behove you to have your version checked to avoid the wait at a dealership while you’d really rather be traveling. https://gm-techlink.com/?p=8172

Like Sherry, I “never” buy extended warranties. But I did for our Duramax. The cost of owning a diesel is higher than that of a gas burner and a future major repair would be financially hard. It’s just an insurance policy.

My question here is why? I’ve owned an Oliver for over 11 years and have NEVER found a need to remove this panel.

We were pulling our Elite II Hull #050 (7200 lbs) with a 2014 GMC Sierra 6.2L with the max tow package. Fuel mileage was never better than 12mpg. We travel all over the country and at less than 40K miles, we started to get overheating in the mountains. We traded for a 2017 Silverado Duramax and there is no comparison. On long trips we’ll average nearly 14 mpg. If you are getting an Elite II, there’s no better vehicle to tow with. You will not be disappointed.

The collective nouns for otters are bevy, family, lodge or romp (being descriptive of their often playful nature) I submit that any gathering of Oliver travel trailers be termed a “romp”. This would also be in keeping of the acronym OTTOR: Oliver Travel Trailer Owner’s Romp.

You can tell that wire was originally crimped inside a connector. I would bet it’s in the immediate vicinity of the bare end probably behind something and not readily obvious. Look for another wire one that area (probably red but not guaranteed) with only a connector on it. On a slightly related note, we too are on our way to Alaska. We are currently in Missouri slowly making our way West.

Just to stay on topic, a quick PM should do the trick.

And just think, not an ounce of liability was incurred. That's what helping family (be it personal or extended) is all about. Never turn your back on a person in need, for it may well be you sometime down some lonely forest road...

Hope is not a strategy.

If your trailer is equipped with both receptacles, then there should be a transfer switch wired between them to prevent the scenario you’ve described.

If you want to calibrate your own torque wrench, check out. I ordered the little scale from Amazon for less than $9.00 dollars. All I've got is a cheap one from Harbor Freight and I'll be curious to see how accurate it is.

If you plan to switch to the 5200lb axles and install disc brakes, make sure to order them WITHOUT electric brakes. This will save you $$$. I just replaced one of mine and it ran a little over $450. A year or so ago I posted about my switch to from electric drums to electric over hydraulic discs complete with a shopping list of all parts needed with prices. If you are handy, you can do this yourself. Are you going to be at the rally?

That shower head sounds nice. I might come over to your trailer some morning during the rally and try it out!

Molded FG Trailer’s interior walls fall basically into four categories. Cheap looking wood or cheaper looking faux wood (cardboard) paneling. Carpet or faux carpet (aka “rat fur”) Bare inside of the fiberglass shell. Smooth gel-coat fiberglass. What’s in your trailer...

Nice perk... ???????☕️

That’s just a easy way to remove an attachment that you don’t want after posting.

Hobo, don’t get too caught up in the readings. As had been pointed out, if the front of the Oliver is somewhat higher than the rear the sensor will think that there is more water in the gray tank than there actually is. A simple test that can be done right now is to simply see if you are able to put water into the tank from either of the two outputs (kitchen sink or shower/bathroom sink. Yes=tank not full. No=Water will back up meaning tank is full and you can plan to dump tomorrow morning. Otherwise, relax and have fun. On an additional note, if you wash dishes in the sink and allow food particles to go down the drain and end up in your gray tank it will result in the gray water smelling really bad. We wipe everything off prior to washing or usually just wash outside in a dishpan.

David, Tali and I are looking forward to seeing you guys again later this summer. We will begin our meandering trip north later this month. Will follow up with you soon.

Check the positions of the four valves near the water pump.

Plans? We ain’t got no stinkin’ plans! ???? We do have a lot of info. Let’s get together at the rally.

That is our plan. When we travel, we go to as many National Park units as possible so we tend to meander. This will be our first Alaskan foray. How long do you guys plan to be gone?

Those plugs tend to get moisture inside when it rains. Try to store it somewhere it can stay relatively dry. What happens is the moisture will short the positive (connected to the batteries) to the wire going to the clearance lights and make them come on. I wouldn’t seal it up too tightly. If moisture does get in it will just make it harder to remove.
