Update!
Wayfinder and connor77 have volunteered to have everyone in their Ollie's for the dump valve discussion! 😮 Just kidding! 😎 We will try to do most of the discussion in a common place and then do a practical demonstration in and around the volunteer's Ollie's.

Speaking of generators and the front storage box, ideas for security. Ideas for locking down a Honda 2000 or 2200?
There was a product called LowPro LockDown that was built for the Honda EU2000i, but it is no longer available. This one is similar.

We play Backgammon in the evening's after we finish playing swap the mosquito!
Your Monopoly Diced game looks interesting.

Right on Charlie!
These 2 links will probably answer your questions.
And your phone does not a SIM card for Bluetooth to work. I used an old cell phone with my BMV-712 Smart for a year or so. I never really used the included display, as it was mounted below the rear dinette seat. The Smart Shunt was not available at the time I purchased mine, but that is what I would buy if I did not need or want the display.
Don’t hesitate to ask if you have additional questions.

Only you can answer that question! Are you a friend of Bill's?

Revisiting my post above, I don’t think you can complete this repair without drilling out the rivets. The nut and washer have to be trapped in the chrome base which is still attached to the bottom of the cabinet. The hole in the cabinet that the wiring passes through is not large enough for you to work through to line up the washer and nut. And of course there is no way to get a wrench on the nut to secure it either. And I will add that the lights I installed are screw mounted, not riveted. The lights Oliver installed are riveted. Sorry if I miss directed you with my first post!

I find removing the propane tank cover to be cumbersome, and hard on my aged back. I can do it, but don't like to do it very often. Removing the porthole cover is easy, and enables me to reach in and turn the propane tank valves on and off.
I should have been more explicit in my comments about the removal of the propane box cover! I generally only remove the cover for tank refills. And like you, I do open and close the tank valves via the porthole access.

Would someone please explain to me why you need this port?
Not sure if it’s a need but it’s there and I use it because it facilitates the removal and replacement of the cover for the propane housing. I remove the porthole cover and stick my left arm through the hole and pickup up the cover, using the my right hand for stability.

You can also buy adapters that reverse the polarity. Here is one example:

was thinking about going the other way, to one with tabs...as they may be easier to open ....but will not do that after seeing your post.
I switched to the 1/4 turn porthole and lid a year or so back due to the discoloration of the original. I also moved the tether from the old cover to the new one. I still lube the threads, there’s just less to lube! My tether was in the parts bag of some shop lights I installed in the past.

It looks in this photo like the top of the flex housing is threaded.
This is the OEM light hull 193 was equipped with. My best guess is that the nut and washer is loose and will be impossible to get back on the hollow bolt. You can remove the rubber mat in the cabinet and locate the top of the fixture, it will be under the black tape corresponding with the fixture location. If you attempt this method I think it would be beneficial to pre twist the wires in the opposite direction so that they straighten out when you thread the stem back in.

My inverter is still attached in it original position. That being said and I was going to re-attach the mounting board or just being proactive trying to prevent the mounting board from breaking loose, I think replacing the just top 2 screws holding the inverter to the mounting board with the through bolts of your choice, would prevent the inverter and board from falling. But the other choice is to hide the bolt heads. This is where Krunch keeps 4 or 5 pairs of sandals, slippers or 🩴’s under her port bed overhang. I’m sure no one would be able to see the bolt heads unless they wanted to borrow a pair of her shoes. We won’t even discuss where the other 15 pairs of her shoes go!

The victron has a hdmi cable end that will go to the cerbo gx / "Brains of Victrons components , has wireless bluetooth and monitors whole system.
Where do you intend to locate the Cerbo GX? Are going to use a GX Touch 50 or 70 display and if so, where are you going to place it? I am using a 15’ HDMI to get from the display down to the Cerbo GX through the rear port corner as ScubaRX mentioned above.

I have heard that Oliver did a lot of different things in the “old’n days”, but of course I wasn’t around then!

We just donate it! I don’t like strangers looking at the “good stuff” that I’m not ready to part with. It does amaze me the stuff people will pick up at the end of the driveway.😁

I also end up buying more than I need on Amazon, especially the small stuff. I need to start posting my extras on eBay.

I "think" they are in parallel.
My trick for remembering parallel vs serial is this, parallel = pair and serial = sum. So a pair / parallel of 12v batteries is just a pair of 12’s and the sum / serial of two 12v batteries is 12 + 12 = 24.

take a picture of the information sticker on the roof top panels and your portable panel.
The information on this sticker is needed to fill in the online SCC calculator.

400W of whatever brand the current solar panels are, and the Victron SmartSolar 100/50 MPPT charger.
The first thing that I would do is to get my ladder out and take a picture of the information sticker on the roof top panels and your portable panel. Then you can check an online charge controller calculator and determine if the 100/50 will do the job. I do believe Victron SC’s have the ability to throttle down the in coming power to protect itself. And Craig’s advise is the current voice of experience as he is using similar equipment to yours.

What solar equipment did Oliver install in your trailer? What inverter/charger do you have?

Grey tank hand valve
in General Discussion
Posted
If you are the original owner, then I think you should make a warranty claim with the Oliver Service Department. If you are the 2nd owner or just like to fix stuff, PM me and we can discuss how I would fix this issue.
If there is glue residue on the end of the pipe, it would indicate that it was glued and connected but the pipe was not inserted far enough into the valve body which probably led to the failure.
