If you ever need another surprise, look for the 120V outlet for the refrigerator and I’ll bet a cup of coffee it is a metal outlet box as well. The good news is that you won’t find a broken blue outlet box! Mossey

The picture below is from the 2017 OTT LE2 manual. Mossey

Have you tried disconnecting the Ollie from the TV when this condition occurs? Mossey

@Ronbrink I will warn you about opening that can of worms, if you think working under the beds or the dinette seats is hard on your back, just wait until you pull the vanity door off. Mossey

2017 #193 does not have that crazy junction box under the bath vanity either, but I sure wish it did! It sure would make troubleshooting 7 pin power problems easier for me! Mossey

@mountainoliver Was SDG able to utilize the Oliver’s internal condensate drain system? Mossey

I have never been a fan of the signal strength monitors on cell phone's. They are a lot like gas gauges, each tic mark is about 20% which is not enough granularity to be very useful, so I don’t really pay too much attention to them. I haven’t noticed much degradation of the video on screen, but I don’t pay that much attention to the screen while driving. I do find the rear view camera very beneficial when executing lane changes and monitoring approaching traffic. We sometimes use the display in the Ollie as a security device. Mossey

I am sorry to see that you sold your Ollie! We will miss your forum contributions. Best of luck with new adventures! Mossey

I purchased a Haloview BT7 last November to replace my original Voyager system and have about 1700 miles of camping with it. It has exceeded my expectations so far. The only issue for me is the annoying pair of antennas on the display. I usually remove the display from the tv when setting up camp and the antennas were a pain to deal with until I replaced them wiith the antennas pictured below. They have made the display perfect for me. @dhaig I was aware of the camera mounting issue before purchasing and fabricated a ‘L’ shaped piece of stainless steel sheet metal to mount my camera to the roof. It does not look as nice as your mount, but it is functional. I simple spliced in to the original Voyager 12V power wiring and all is working as originally installed. @Steve Morris I have not experienced any signal issues between the camera and display. Haloview offers antennas with long coax cables to move the antenna to the front of the trailer for the BT7, but they don’t get very good reviews due to the fact that antennas are fixed at 90°. I would think that any 2.4G WiFi antenna and coax cable extension would help get the camera signal to the display. And I just had a thought, are you using your PEPWAVE system when this signal issue occurs? Mossey

@Galway Girl I think the schematic indicates that the breakaway switch is on the hot side of the of the 20A auto resetting breaker, meaning that the breakaway switch is alway hot and the black 20A breaker services the black charge wire. But according to my wife, I was wrong yesterday, so that may apply to today as well! Mossey

I think that is a picture of an automatic resetting breaker in the B+ path from the solar charge controller. Both the red/black and the solid black should run up the the wall to the Solar CC. The red/black wire eventually goes to the battery positive/B+ and the black wire ends up at the battery negative/B-. They are zip cord wires just like a lamp cord, so you can verify my thoughts by determining if the insulation is in fact joined together as it heads up the wall under the SS bed. I’m pretty sure they will be 8AWG wire. Mossey

@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

We are wishing a Happy July 4th to all OTTO's! the Mossey's

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
