@Wayne and Karen, If would complete your forum signature to include your Oliver model, year, hull number and any other modifications that make your Oliver unique, it would allow members that may be able to help, provide answers that are specific to your question about your Oliver. @rideadeuce just provided an answer that might work for you. My Ollie has the original Dometic AC that came with my 2017 LE2. It is 120V AC powered and the wiring could be modified to run on 12V or battery power through the inverter, which rideadeuce and Ronbrink have done as well as replacing their original AC units with Atmos air conditioner's. And just adding to the answers to your original question, I have replaced my original thermostat with a MICRO-AIR Easytouch. I was eating lunch when I read your original post and picked up my phone and turned my air conditioner on over Bluetooth. To be clear, my AC is plugged into my house electrical system so I can’t drive away like you would like to do, so depending on your Oliver, this may require a bit of work to accomplish. Mossey

You are correct! The intake air comes from the cabin as well, meaning that all of the air being circulated around the refrigerator is quite a bit cooler than any model using outside air until the outside temperatures reach about 78° and contributing to refrigerator efficiency. Mossey

The refrigerator cutout you see in my pictures is original. My Dometic refrigerator had 2 rails or U shaped pieces of metal ~1/2” high that was screwed into the bottom of the refrigerator and ran front to back the entire depth of the refrigerator. I see Oliver fabricated a platform to raise your refrigerator up. I would think that you could reduce the height of the platform to reduce the amount of fiberglass needing to be removed at the top of the cutout opening. The SeaBiscuit vents are not structural, just decorative. I have not had any signs of stress around the refrigerator cutout. What are the ventilation requirements for the Dometic NRX130C? Have you factored in the the height of the accessory flange or is it not needed? Mossey

@Patriot It looks like you had all of the latest technologies growing up! 😉 Mossey

FYI This part number is for a 45A charger, making it an even better deal, if that is possible. 😉 Mossey

Try this search with the Google search engine! site:olivertraveltrailers.com 'Nova Kool'. It will search for all mentions of Nova Kool refrigerators in the Oliver forum. You can also try changing the verbiage between the 2 single quotes and search for anything you are looking for on the Oliver forum. FYI: The cost for my Nova Kool R5810 AC/DC compressor refrigerator from CITIMARINE in Doral, FL on 09/01/2024 was $1691.91 and I avoided additional shipping charges by picking up at their store. My installation expenses were similar to mountianoliver's. If you do shop around for installation services, be sure to check with marine and RV service locations. Mossey

From where I’m standing, your caulking looks great! Mossey

But, you could cut Alaska in half and make Texas the 3rd largest state!😆 Mossey

My solar circuit breaker is installed beneath the street side bed. Mossey

This is the rafter fixing point for the trailer side. And I usually tighten the rafter knob before raising the awning to a height I can't reach. Mossey

It stores quite nicely on a bed with a blanket on the fan housing when underway. The real benefit for us is its mobility and ventilation support. Mossey

Our first RV experience was a Class C rental in Alaska in 1999. When you are still working and Alaska is calling, an RV rental is an awesome way to answer. We shared our 3 week rental with friends that were Class A owners and shared their knowledge and expertise, making the experience a joy. However you get to Alaska, you’re sure to have an amazing RV adventure! Mossey

This information is from September 2022, so it’s not as current as you might want. We started this portion of our trip in Ottawa, IL after my mother’s family reunion and the destination was TRNP before heading back to Florida. THNP has 2 campgrounds, Cottonwood is in the south unit and Juniper is in the north unit. Cottonwood has about 70 sites in 2 loops, north and south. The south loop has small areas and it would be cramped for a LE2. The north loop has larger sites, more suitable for LE2's and larger rigs. We could not get a reservation in Cottonwood in advance, so we booked a night in Sully Creek SP, just south of Medora. We headed to Cottonwood first thing the next morning. There were not any campground hosts available when we arrived, so we proceeded to drive through the campground, we didn’t see anything large enough in the south loop and then found 3 available in the north loop. Since I always what to know what’s around the corner or over the hill, we drove around the north loop again and found 2 of the available sites were already taken. We took the 3rd spot and I walked up to the self serve check-in station and filled out some paperwork. We ran into a campground host while walking back to our site and he showed us a site that was reserved for the new shower/restroom building construction crew and said that we could use it for the next 3 nights because the crew was off for a few days. So we moved to that site and had a great stay. We did drive to the north unit to see the Juniper campground and over all liked the north unit better, less people but also so less to see and do. We wanted to say in Custer SP in South Dakota, but couldn’t find anything and headed to Badlands NP and dry camped for 3 nights, just off SD-240 about 9 miles south of Wall, SD and before you get to the entrance to Badlands NP. Look for a dirt road on the left and other campers a mile or so off the highway. You should also be able to see 2 or 3 radio towers several miles in the distance also on the left or east side of SD-240. Drive along the dirt road until you find something you like. A word of caution, it's very windy! Good luck, Mossey Cottonwood campground - TRNP Outside Badlands NP on SD-240

@csevel is the leak/drip visible from the outside or the inside? Hose connected or not? Are you trying the fill the fresh water tank? Mossey

Since I don’t own a 1/2" Allen wrench, I carry a 5/16" bolt and 2 nuts back to back to create a 1/2" Allen wrench. Tightening the Oliver hose bibs is the only time I remember ever needing a 1/2” Allen wrench, so I used what I had available. Mossey

My old Voyager monitor is in the mail. Let me know if it survives the trip! Mossey

I will send you a PM. Mossey

According to the 2022 LE2 manual, the rear view camera is powered by f-2, a15A ATC fuse with a tan 14G wire. Mossey

@rideadeuce do you still use the bumper sewer hose compartment with your modified bike rack? If so, please let us know how the 20' hose fits into it and if you can leave it connected all of the time. Mossey

That's one opinion and mine is totally different. When I made the decision to buy an Oliver, I took delivery in Georgia. The seller and I had made the deal in November, so I had about 6 weeks to get my 2014 Land Cruiser ready. I needed an Andersen WD hitch and brake controller. My first was Tekonsha Prodigy 3 and I could not find a place to mount it that wasn’t in my way and it looked like a deck of cards screwed to the dash. So l bought a Redarc, which plugged straight into the Toyota wiring harness. I remove a blank button cover on the dash and modified it to accept the joke as you call it and the Redarc looked great and work flawlessly for the 5 years I used it in the Land Cruiser. Mossey
