ZLarryb, the plastic connector/tee fitting nut is the red notation. the black plastic tie-down is the yellow notation. the green arrow is pointing to the green "witness marks". Witness marks are sometimes used to mark a 2 part connection like a nut and bolt or in this case it marks both sides of the water pipe connection. It is marked during installation on both sides of the connection and it is a quick visual confirmation of a connector being in the original position or not. Due to the angle of your picture, I can’t verify its position because I can’t see both side of the mark, but you can do a quick verification. Mossey

I believe Oliver's only have 1/2" PEX, but I’m not assuming anything. I only carry 1/2" spare parts and pipe. I carry a SharkBite 90*, coupling, tee, cap. I also carry a PEX pipe cutter and a SharkBite fitting removal tool. A word of caution about SharkBite fittings in general, some of their fittings are reusable and others are single use, so pay attention to which you purchase. Although I have complete confidence in SharkBite fittings, I have never had one fail while in service. I have had installation failures of my own making. So read all documentation available and follow the methods outlined within and all should be good. I do have PEX crimp rings and crimpers at home and they are very hard to use for repairs below decks. So I don’t have any problem leaving SharkBite fittings in service, that I installed in an emergency. The last bit of advice that I have is, buy a reusable SharkBite PEX fitting and some PEX pipe and get busy practicing. Mossey

Welcome! It looks like your Ollie is right where it belongs, is use and camping! Welcome

I hope he is OK! Mossey

You should have headed west and rode around Starved Rock SP. It still has a bunch of twisty 2 laner's. Mossey

I also got started in the stereo installation business, but with 4 track tape players. It was also an after school job. That experience led to a cell phone installation job 20 years later with General Telephone. That job led to 30 years in the cellular phone business. When I retired in 2017, I found immediate employment at home and the list keeps on growing. The really good part is that I get to pick the next job! Mossey

Our standard practice has always been to turn the Truma on at the inside control panel when we needed hot water and then turn it off when not needed. This is not a solution to the problem, it just reduces the likelihood of a fire 🔥 when we are not around. We will also add a step to our departure and setup checklist , to turn the outside switch off or on as needed before travel! It’s the best we can do until a repair has been completed. Mossey

I haven't seen or heard of this before. The ECO mode does fire up periodically as needed to keep the water warm. When you mention 'control panel', are you referring to the inside panel? My inside control panel is above the curbside bed and the wiring is accessible from the porthole in the cabinet above the cooktop. Mossey

@MAX Burner, Maybe it’s time to try making espresso shots with your favorite Black Rifle coffee and really make that half-cup of Joe work a little harder. Mossey

I know I’m a little late to this party, but this search format always works for me. Just change the verbiage between the 'single quotes'. site:olivertraveltrailers.com 'oliver owners rally' Mossey

@Steve Morris On behalf of all Floridian's, I will say "we do all we can to make our visiting Snowbirds feel right at home". Mossey

Visiting Scott and John Oliver in Tampa,FL. They are in town for Oliver TT demo days at Lazydays RV. Lazydays has 3 locations in Florida with Ollie's in stock for your viewing pleasure. Mossey

Also use the pressure regulator on the fresh water fill inlet. Although there are fewer restrictions on the fresh water fill plumbing, it’s still a good practice. This would also apply when you start using the filter. Mossey

I learned something new, thanks! Mossey

A couple more steps that I would add to @jd1923 suggestions is to make sure that both the black and grey blade valves are closing completely. Both black and grey tanks empty out of the same pipe at the rear bumper, so either blade valve may be leaking. Try pushing down on both blades to check for any movement which could indicate the need for a cable adjustment. And if you haven’t previously lubricated the valve cables, it will help valve opening and closing. It goes without saying that troubleshooting the sewer system it much easier to do at a full hookup site. Mossey
