In fact yesterday we set an all time high of 101 degrees.

John here in Alabama once a year is much needed. Then again I got Ollie in the drive under the sun. Working on moving out west this winter. I sure did enjoy camping up north this summer cause the heat this year in my town was insane.
-
Great advise Bill... I did exactly that and even resealed the wheel wheels. I noticed my caulking this year is much better then last.
-
I think the problem is the regular house outlet. You need 30 amp to run heat pump. If you have a generator I would see if it works. My Honda 2000i runs the systems fine.
-
Well completed that much needed task of resealing my Ollie. The prep work is a little pita but necessary. Jason from the plant told me this task needs to be done once a year. If you haven't checked out your caulk I suggest getting on the roof and check it out.

Sorry for the late reply. For some reason I kept having trouble opening the thread. I think I'll just play it safe and just raise one side at a time when I change out the tires. I just needed to ensure exactly the jack points. You guys rock! tHank you! George
-
Thank you for clarifying this for me. I thought it was best to ask since I was not certain.
-
Greetings folks, I've yet been able to find exactly the jack points on my eliteII. Could someone please attach a photo of where I need to jack up my Oliver properly? I'm getting close to needing new tires and so I want to jack up the trailer and take my tires off and take them to a tire shop for remounting. Thank you!

Honda Generator Eco-throttle...use or not use?
geO replied to markaday's topic in General Discussion
I had the exact problem with mine. What I did to correct this issue was went through the starting procedure again and now using the Honda 2000i it works like a charm. It took a good while before even thinking about the start up procedure. If you have not tried that I would give it a shot. Using one 2000 w gen works well with the Honda on eco mode, I just get the impression the thing is working hard. -
My cheap telescopic ladder needs a crowbar to extend some of the rungs. One day I was cleaning the solar panels and the rung was not locked into place. I dropped like a rock and tore off the porch light. Funny thing is I checked or so I thought I did ensure it was locked... Wrong!
-
Oh CRAP, I just spent the last 3 days shinning Ollie up. Seeing your image Overland makes me cringe.
-
I just finished today using REJEX and applied it while the sun was shinning. While applying it was somewhat difficult to see where I put it and where I did not. After waiting the 15-20 minutes I uses a microfiber cloth and I must say I'm impressed. I plan on putting another coat on some.

I average about 80 amh per night. Oliver needs to offer a BMS as an upgrade for those that enjoy off grid camping. This will tell you in real time what is going on.
-
Just went and checked the drawl of the inverter with no other drawl. Normally during boondocking I'll have the inverter on all day running a laptop and other little things and still get 100% state of charge by 2-3pm in full sunshine. Once again unless you have a way of monitoring your batteries you have not a clue.
-
I like the one Bill posted better then what I got.
-
This is the cheap cap I use. I need to repaint it because I don't like the blue.
-
Mine does the same thing when water gets in the tow connection. I now have a cap I put on it and does not happen anymore.
-
Cheap often costs more and most people will save a nickel to lose a dollar. Oliver is about quality. I would never finance one personally, but my mindset differs from many.
-
I'm happy with the Tri-Metric and think Oliver should offer a monitoring system as a upgrade.
-
Spending that much hard earned cash on a new vehicle like this is crazy unless you have a lot of disposable cash. I'm amazed how people take out basically a house mortgage for a vehicle.
-
I think of battery management being a very important aspect especially when camping off the grid. This link explains the importance of a good battery monitoring system. Manyt have ways of getting by with out them, but if you want to understand exactly what is going on a battery monitor is the best way. http://olivertraveltrailers.com/topic/battery-monitoring/#post-11798

Oliver is going to take care of this window issue and I must say I'm very impressed with their level of professionalism in helping us. They truly are a company above the rest. Sorry for my ranting and displaying my frustration publicly on this forum.
-
EXACTLY! I would have never known how bad it truly is unless I took off the window blind. Now it reveals the underlying issue. This breaks my heart especially having been at the plant telling them of this leak.
-
Yes, it is locked on both sides.

a closer look of the inside.
