I was told from Oliver service guys that all I need to do was take some pressure off the suspension by raising the stabilizer jack and that did the job. I had 2 fittings that would not allow any grease.

Yes, it is a two step process. 1 – (as you have already done) register with Oliver. 2 – Either go online or call the State Park and register there for your campsite.
Bill
Thank you Bill. I will call Monday.

I registed on Olivers site a few weeks ago and was wondering when I will receive my site number?
Did you make reservations at the Guntersville State Park campground and register on the Oliver website? The campground makes the site assignment or you choose a site from whatever is available when you make your reservations.
I made my registration on Olivers site. I then got a email confirmation explaining I would get updates as we get closer to the rally. Do I need to call the campsite and tell them I've already registered?

WOW, awesome job!

I never even heard of Cradlepoint. You all amaze me on how informed you are!

I figured if someone bangs on my door I'd tell them to move to the left so I can identify them from the side window. Might be my military mind speaking, but now days ya never know.

Thanks folks for your input. Mine just does not amplify the signal much at all even with all lights green.

We paid for this weBoost 4G-M upgrade and it lacks performance and is basically useless.. Why doesn't Oliver go with the WeBoost Drive 4G-X RV, which is specifically for RV's? It also is a much better product.

I would highly recommend folks that like boondocking to invest in a battery monitoring system. It truly is like a fuel gauge for the batteries!

Just to clarify, I do not have the Zamp system and I have a DC compressor fridge, so my questions are just out of curiosity.
If your display shows power usage, how much did you find that a day of fridge use consumed? What were the environmental conditions during your test, outside inside temps, I take it you just switched an already chilled fridge to DC only?
It is definitely interesting, as the amount of power required for DC to generate to the heat needed to run the ammonia process should be fairly sizable.
So, if nothing is running, what do you find the max output of the Zamp system to be?
Thanks
The power usage was only .01 amp for the entire test. The zamp system seems to adjust amps in according to need. Once I turned the fridge off dc the charge controller dropped from 16 amps to about 2amp. Conditions were under pure sunny skies with out door temp in the mid 70's. Battery temp was 22c. The fridge was chilled prior to testing and set on cool setting 3. According to the charge controller the system brought in 69.3 amps during test. Hope this helps and thanks for the link you posted.

Stopped my test at 1800 and my batteries pretty much stayed 100% throughout the day. I'm impressed with the system and getting a better handle on battery management is in the near future!

The Zamp system is a work horse and my test has been going on for 4 hours and my batteries are 100% fully charged. This image shows total amp hours used and the zamp controller showing amps coming in. Notice the blue light on the controller is off because the batteries are 100%.

Does anyone use the DC setting for the refrigerator while boondocking? I understand the 17-18amp draw on the batteries but the Zamp system can keep up with the demand on a bright sunny day. Doing a test now and so far impressed.

I use Gaia software for hiking. Mainly the topo maps and then send it to my gps watch. Great tool and it's free. https://www.gaiagps.com

One of these was given away at last year’s Oliver Owner’s Rally as a door prize. If that lucky person is a member of this Forum – how about a review? Bill
Bill, I use it all the time and it has not failed me yet.

I've been using the Truma level check since winning it at the last Oliver rally and think it does the job. Here is a link https://shop.truma.net/products/truma-levelcheck

I will be installing one for another owner in the next few weeks.
Not being very good with electrical stuff I wish you lived closer so I could pay you to help install it.

Hello folks! I was wondering if anyone has installed the Trimetric 2030 RV battery monitoring system in their Oliver and if so how difficult was the install? I picked one up in Quartzsite for a pretty good price along with the Zamp suitcase panels. I'm very impressed with the performance of the panels and now want to be able to monitor my batteries.

Thanks for all the info folks. I really don't know if my dog was under the dinette or not. Everything seems fine and I was a little concerned when I got home from my bike ride and found out what had happened. maybe I should keep my gopro camera running when we are out and take a look what my doggie is doing when we are gone.

Love the clam and it is great for rainy days and I set it up in a couple of minutes. Make sure you just don't stake down the bottom cause in Arkansas a thunderstorm took my Clam and it went airborne, next morning I found it about 50' away.

The fellow campers told me they heard 4 beeps about every minute or so. They walked around the trailer and thought it was the solar panels. I looked online and what kind of alarm it was. Crazy because I've tested both and all is well. Have not had another alarm go off. Crazy folks!

We use the small Vornado heater as well!! It is very quiet and small enough to not be in our way!! Works like a charm!!
I got that Vornado and very impressed. Here in FL we've been running a/c though.

My wife and I were out riding our bikes and when we returned our next door campers said they herd 4 loud beeps coming from our Oliver like every minute or so. We only had the A/C running so our dog would keep cool. I went inside and checked the alarms and everything seemed fine and it has not sounded since.
What could have caused the Co alarm to go off? It was not chirping as if the batteries need replacement.

I lost one on this day and with Memorial Day approaching I feel this is appropriate
