@dewdev and @jd1923 littlehousecustoms.com sells the button guard below, which we found totally eliminated the accidental RM2454 button push. Mossey FRIDGE BUTTON GUARD Who hasn’t bumped the fridge control, switched to DC and run their battery down? This new version is made for us by Charlie Young. It's clear, fits the fridge well and doesn't require removal to operate the buttons. It attaches with clear VHB tape to the control panel. The red color in the photo is the release film on the guard and peels off prior to installation revealing the clear VHB tape. Button Guard $14.95 Add to Cart

I think you forgot the golden rule of design," we gotta make money" which follows all of your design examples. Mossey

I am looking forward to meeting you as well and 'the dog house' graphic may be gone by then. I need to get a replacement. Mossey

@dewdev Krunch says that I am deaf, so I’m not a good judge of noise. The Dometic Penguin AC does not bother my sleeping either! I don’t know which inverter you have, but I never ran our OEM Dometic refrigerator on our OEM Xantrex inverter and I have never run the Nova Kool on inverted 12v DC. I always thought it was a waste of battery power to invert the 12v DC to AC, to power anything that was capable running on 12v DC. The microwave was one of the few appliances that we run with the inverter. jd1923 brought up an very good point, verify that you are actually powering the refrigerator from you 12v batteries without running the inverter. I am currently working on a Victron MultiPlus II installation and so I can’t test your scenario in 'the dog house'. Mossey

I purchased and picked up my Nova Kool 5810 from a dealer in Miami, FL. It was a day of travel, but what's a retired guy going to do on a Tuesday? Mossey

@Dennis and Melissa Meaher State Park, Alabama A sunset view from a site close to where you took yours. Mossey

Congratulations and welcome! The OTTO Rally will be a great experience for you and the rest of us will get a chance to check out the new Apex model. We'll look forward to meeting you in October! Mossey

And I took the King antenna to the OTTO rally and couldn’t find any willing taker’s, dang it! So I brought it back home and recycled it. Mossey

I have had some success with threaded insert nuts in the OTT installed PVC Foam Board. They are very effective on the horizontally mounted foam board, such as the water pump location. Mossey

All though my refrigerator did not come unplugged, I proactively replaced my refrigerator plug after someone else reported that their refrigerator came unplugged. This is the type of plug I used and it has worked for 6 or 7 years. I don’t remember, but I may have also used a tie wrap. John Davies replaced his outlet for different reasons and this will take you to his mod. https://olivertraveltrailers.com/forums/topic/6722-how-to-replace-the-120-vac-refrigerator-outlet-under-the-galley-sink-water-lines-with-a-waterproof-junction-box/?srsltid=AfmBOop_r6SWUqYp2fvGVz5cXJio0oNzeQnuFWMKZobs6ISEKIy-36a7 Mossey

We really like that campground! Mossey

@Boudicca908 Check out this YouTube video by "The Trailer Smith". It's 1 of about 5 that he has put up. Then check out his other trailer video's, for instance, search for "brakes". All of his videos that I have seen have been very informative. Mossey

The first picture is a different view from topgun2's. The second picture is of the aluminum support tubes I installed for my Nova Kool refrigerator. The aluminum tubes span the trough noted in the first picture. And if you really have a need to know in order to proceed with your installation, you can follow @jd1923's suggestion above. Or you can remove the drawers below the sink and cut a hole in the cabinet floor and have a look around, like I did. Mossey

Your welcome! Mossey

@Townesw The hatch looks very nice and you will love the easy access. Thank you for the step by step procedure. It will help someone else in the future! Mossey

Excellent idea! Mossey

@jd1923 I would start hunting for the streetside light power wire at the main switch panel. I also think that is the easiest spot to tap the power wire for the new light you want to install, running a new wire, front to back, in the trough of the upper cabinets might be the easiest part of the job. Mossey

Wow! That's even better than a trip to the local hardware store, except you probably didn’t get popcorn like I do! Mossey

It's pretty easy to stub your toe like this when buying on Amazon. It's not the same as a trip to local hardware store if you still have one! Mossey

Your last camping trip once again proves the old adage 'camping is a participation sport'. I appreciate you sharing your solutions to the adversity you faced! Well done, Mossey

@Grizz000 No worries! I thought you might be out camping! Thanks for the info. Mossey

@Grizz000 Thank you for the excellent write up on your Xantrex inverter/charger, battery and solar mod. I do have a question about your method of attaching the Coosa board to fiberglass. I am specifically interested in how you applied the G/flex 655 to the Coosa board panel. Did you apply the G/flex to both surfaces and was it applied in a bead or puddle and did you spread or tool it? Mossey

@routlaw This link will take you to a post from @Raspy, who was the US distributor for McHITCH! It is the articulating hitch that Overland installed on his LE2. Mossey

@routlaw I had a total knee replacement in 2016, 46 years after ACL and cartilage tears in my right knee were repaired. That amounted to about 20 years of limited activity due to pain and discomfort. I stopped all racket sports and was content saving my knee for walking and used 2 poles while hiking. The 3 different knee doctors I saw in those years all wanted to wait until I was on my deathbed before replacing my knee. After having knee replacement surgery, it was about a year before I really didn’t think about it anymore. I really regretted not doing it sooner and I recommend it to anyone who has asked. I do believe that as we age, we should probably pick and choose some things we have always done. I gave up blowing pine needles and oak leaves off our house roof and gutter this year and pay someone to do that job, but my wife had to talk me into it. There are OTT maintenance jobs that you might have to give up and unless it is a financial decision, I would suggest giving up some maintenance jobs and keeping your Ollie, you can always sell it in the future if you find the maintenance issues to much to deal with.
