@Patriot Now that's what I call 'storm prep'! Mossey

And you almost camouflaged the Brinkley in your 3rd pic! Mossey

Great idea’s all round! And I’ll add that I have used a LevelMate Pro for several years with pretty good success, but if I want to double check front to back and side to side, I’ll use a bottle of water wherever I think it’s most important. Mossey

My battery tray keeper is not as elegant as Horace's or as secure as jd1923's, but it keeps my battery tray in place and it’s easy to remove and replace. Mossey

@Chris Scarff I will add that if you have your finances in order, retirement will be the best job you ever had! Mossey

I saw the Furrion Chill Cube today at the RV Super Show in Tampa and it is indeed very impressive. And now the really good news, Furrion will introduce a low profile model in April according to the gentleman that gave me the demo. It is advertised as 15,000 BTU's and also has a heat pump. Mossey

FYI, if anyone is curious about the cost of this new product. Mossey

Mossey, you have both BB and Lithionic batteries? Yep! I bought the BB's in 2020. I won the Lithionics battery at the 2025 OTTO's Rally. I haven’t installed the Lithionics battery yet, because my onboard charger is not approved by Lithionics. A MP2 is a future project. Mossey

CRM get a gold star for his observation, because I can confirm that the terminal bolts on my 3 100 amp hour BB's are 8mm or 5/16". My 320 amp hour Lithionic battery has the same 8mm or 5/16" terminal bolts. Mossey

I manually turn of the PD4045-CSV breaker @ the PD Power Center when charging is complete. Batteries charging @ 34.86 Amps Batteries completely charged, but still charging @ 0.50 Amps Battery charger turned off @ breaker and showing batteries discharging @ -0.83 A Mossey

I may remember a post about an interesting retirement job🤔 Mossey

@Snackchaser Great catch, spotting the Ollie in the ghost town! And the rest of the video is quite interesting. Mossey

@taylor.coyote This picture is from below the front hatch under the street side bed of my 2017 LE2. The yellow fuse holders are for the 3 Barker jacks, 1 for each jack. There are 2 fuse holders for the front jack, 1 under the bed and 1 outside by the front jack. Good luck, Mossey

@Patriot Thank you for answering my first 2 questions! The Victron Orion 12|12 - 9 installation location confused me, the converter I installed for the MAXXAIR fan voltage issue is in the attic area. I am familiar with Starboard products, as they are produced in Florida and I have used some around the house. I am always looking for different ways to do things and was wondering how Inverter Services attached the Starboard to the Oliver’s fiberglass? Mossey

@Patriot I have a couple of questions about your Victron/Epoch installation. Do you know what the black material is that they used for mounting the Victron equipment and Andersen connector? I also noticed that you have both an Orion XS 1400 DC/DC charger and an Orion-Tr 12|12 - 9 DC to DC converter. You mentioned that the Orion XS 1400 DC/DC charger was part of the lithium upgrade, so what is the purpose of the Orion-Tr 12|12 - 9 DC to DC converter? Mossey

@Donna and Scott and Paula and Cleo! Krunch and I had a great time at the 2025 Oliver Rally at Lake Mineral Springs SP. We really appreciated all of the hard work y'all put into hosting a wonderful rally! We would also thank all of the sponsors of the rally and especially the CGI team for the great looking t-shirts. Mike and Krunch

I think this scenario occurs when connecting to a generator without a bonding plug. Mossey

@aaronorange did you replace the OEM 300A breaker with a 400A breaker? It was not clear to me that the 400A was for testing purposes. If you haven’t had any issues with the 400A breaker, it may be that the 300A breaker was simply undersized for 390 AH's of batteries. Mossey

@aaronorange I am not sure what this 300A Optifuse is protecting, so without more information it may be difficult to get an answer. Can you include some pictures? Mossey

@Boudicca908 The man made mounting material or as I refer to as PVC, does not hold screws or threaded fasteners very well when using the same size fasteners as were original installed. I would suggest removing one of the existing screws and then finding the same type of screw that is one size larger. I think they are common pan head screws and installation and removal can be accomplished with a Phillips screwdriver. Some type of adhesive may help, but anything like epoxy may make removal difficult. So if you do use an adhesive, use it sparingly. You can always add more the next time. Mossey

A different view! Mossey

Since our Oliver was a one sided purchase, she still prefers the Hampton Inn and I have been in 'the dog house' ever since. My real reason for an Oliver was so we could travel with our dogs! Mossey

The Scandvik faucet/shower head that JD1923 opened this post about was original OEM equipment on the early model Oliver’s. I’m not sure when they switched to the Dura faucet/shower head, but it was OEM on our hull 193. And you are correct, many OTTO's have switched to the High Sierra brand, me included. All of our plumbing fixtures other than the High Sierra shower head are either Scandvik or Barka. Scandvik sells both brands in the US and the products are virtually identical. Mossey
